Baby Fashion: baby first walking shoes Video Guide

There is probably nothing more exciting for parents than to accompany their little ones on their first steps. The first attempts seem somewhat wobbly and uncertain. But from day to day the little boys and girls, who are no longer babies, conquer their surroundings more and more self-confidently. Even in the last century, the irrefutable principle that the tender little feet need a firm support that offers the little ones sufficient support and safety was still regarded as irrefutable. This view has been outdated for several decades. Pediatricians and orthopaedists today advise young parents to let their little ones walk barefoot as often as possible. They are of the opinion that the toddler can only learn to roll his foot correctly when walking barefoot. The doctors also point out that the foot and leg muscles are particularly well trained in this way. But everyone knows that unfortunately there are not white sandy beaches and heated floors everywhere. That’s why even the little ones need shoes that reliably protect them from sharp stones and cold. Nevertheless the soles and upper leather of baby walking shoes should be so soft, flexible and light that the feet are not constricted and the natural movements are not hindered. Observe carefully whether there may be differences between the movements of walking with learning shoes and walking barefoot. If your child runs unchanged when wearing shoes, everything is in perfect order

A topic that has been repeatedly brought into the public focus when buying shoes in recent years is the quality of the leather. In order to produce a durable and supple leather, the hides are processed very elaborately. Many of the chemicals traditionally used in this procedure are toxic and can leave residues in the leather. In the meantime, however, there are alternative methods that do not endanger health, but are not always used for cost reasons. Therefore, the potential pollutant load plays a central role when consumer protection organisations assess the quality of baby walking shoes or children’s shoes. Unfortunately, parents cannot check these things for themselves. However, if the child’s skin shows redness or other abnormalities after wearing the shoes, this is an alarm signal

Young children cannot yet tell whether a shoe may be pinching. As a rule of thumb, one centimetre of air should be in the toe area of the shoes when the foot is loaded. This can best be controlled by thumb pressure. However, you should remember that the little ones often unconsciously claw their toes during such a procedure. That is why it is helpful if you gently depress the toes with one hand and control the shoe size with the thumb of the other hand. It is best to try on the new shoes in the afternoon or evening, because even the little ones’ feet swell a little during the day. If the shoes are equipped with a removable insole, you can also place the child on it and see exactly whether the toes have enough space. Or you place the child on a cardboard, draw the foot contour, add the required centimetre in the toe area and cut yourself a template. If this fits well in the shoe, you can assume that nothing pinches

Not every father or mother has the time or the craftsmanship to sew the first shoes for the little child himself. However, a young fashion designer from Cologne set to work and created baby walking shoes for her children that met all the above criteria. As label she used ‘Anna und Paul’ – the names of her children. The hand-sewn models made of soft leather are very popular with quality-conscious parents. Meanwhile there is an extensive collection. The models have imaginative names like ‘Glückskind’, ‘Schneekönigin’ or ‘Hippie’ and are also available as winter boots.
