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.

When should I get toddler shoes? Do babies need shoes? These are very common concerns for parents with young children and kids. There are many things to consider including how their feet grow and how they take their first steps and learn how to walk. So, we've tried to share some of our experiences in our blog.

Although seemingly confusing at first, the answer is actually relatively simple. All that is needed is  a little information on how the feet of their little ones develop, what type of shoes will support this development, and when the correct type of shoes is needed or if a change of size is required.

Watching your baby grow from an infant to a toddler is every parent’s joy. For your child, that major transition naturally comes with her ability to take those all-important first steps. Walking is a major milestone in your baby’s development, and there are actually many ways that you can help your little one gain that independence.

There are are a few phases in your child's development. Knowing what the phases mean and how to help your baby through them is an adventure that you will both enjoy and treasure forever.....
