While a little cliche, it all started with trying to find a pair of classic, stylish (yet comfortable) baby shoes; which my son wouldn’t take off within 5 seconds of me putting them on. One thing led to another and before I knew it, I was learning all about shoemaking, drawing up designs and creating beautiful shoes for babies that my children would love and wear. It didn’t take long before I started thinking about how great it would be to share my designs so that other children (and mums) could also enjoy them. What an adventure it has been!

Now that your new bundle of joy has arrived, you want to make sure that he / she gets the best of care. One area of great importance is his / her feet even though it may be hard to imagine right now that those small feet will one day be able to walk, run, and jump. While these adorable, soft, little feet may look like the miniature versions of your feet, they are actually quite different and far more delicate as the bones in your baby’s feet are soft cartilage at birth and will not finish developing into their final hardened state until your child is in his / her teens. 

So, let’s look at ways to get the most out of all that foot care.

With some good tips, buying shoes for your children will not become a guessing game or a hassle.
