Introducing the Bella Pre/First Walker Mary Jane Shoes in Metallic Silver, a perfect blend of style and functionality for your little one's first steps. Handcrafted from genuine leather, these shoes are designed to provide comfort and support, ensuring that your child can explore the world with confidence. The metallic silver finish adds a touch of elegance, making them suitable for both casual and special occasions.
The Bella Mary Jane Shoes feature an elasticized ankle collar that provides a secure fit, preventing any slipping off during playtime. The hook and loop fastening allows for easy adjustments, ensuring that the shoes stay comfortably in place as your child moves around. This thoughtful design is essential for active toddlers who are just beginning to walk.
Crafted from high-quality genuine leather, these shoes are not only stylish but also durable. The size EU18/S comes with a textured suede sole that offers suppleness and grip, while the larger sizes EU20/M and EU22/L feature a split rubber sole for added flexibility and endurance. This combination of materials ensures that your child's feet are well-supported as they take their first steps.
One of the standout features of the Bella Mary Jane Shoes is the removable insoles. This allows for easy cleaning and the option to insert orthotics if needed. Keeping your child's shoes clean is essential for maintaining foot health, and the removable insoles make this process simple and efficient.
The metallic leather used in these shoes is created through a hot press technique, where foil is bonded to the leather. While this gives the shoes their stunning metallic finish, it's important to note that metallic leathers are not as durable as regular leathers. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the foil, as it will expose the leather underneath. Regular maintenance and gentle handling will help keep these shoes looking their best.
The Bella Mary Jane Shoes are available in three sizes to accommodate your growing child's feet:
Each size features a leather upper, leather lining, and a combination of suede and rubber soles, ensuring comfort and support for every stage of your child's development.
At SKEANIE, we prioritize your child's foot health. Our Mary Janes are podiatry-designed and approved in Australia, and have received the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).

SKEANIE was founded by Natasha Barber, a mother who recognized the need for high-quality, soft shoes for her baby. After extensive research into foot health and development, Natasha launched SKEANIE Shoes for Kids, focusing on creating footwear that supports healthy foot growth. With a commitment to quality and comfort, SKEANIE has become a trusted name in children's footwear.
Did you know that a baby's foot contains more cartilage than bone? The structure of the foot develops fully by the age of two, but the bones themselves do not fully harden until around age 13. During the first three years, children's feet undergo significant changes and endure three times more stress than an adult's foot. It's crucial to provide them with the right footwear during this critical development period.
To keep your Bella Mary Jane Shoes looking new, we recommend spraying them with a Shucare Water and Stain Repellent before wear. Regularly wipe them with a clean damp cloth or leather wipe to maintain their appearance. For added care, applying Shucare Leather Conditioner and Renovating Polish will help preserve their softness and color. Please avoid placing SKEANIE footwear in the washing machine or dryer to ensure longevity.
