Introducing the SKEANIE Oliver First/Pre Walker Baby & Toddler Loafers in Black, the perfect footwear for your little one's first steps. Crafted from premium leather, these shoes are designed to provide optimal fit and comfort, ensuring that your baby’s feet are well-supported as they explore the world around them.
These black pre walker shoes feature an elasticised collar that ensures a secure fit around the ankle, preventing slips and providing stability. The size EU18/S comes with a textured suede sole, which offers suppleness and grip, making it ideal for babies who are just starting to walk. For sizes EU20/M and EU22/L, a split rubber sole is incorporated for enhanced flexibility and endurance, allowing toddlers to move freely without compromising on safety.
Choosing the right size is crucial for your child's comfort. The EU18/Small size accommodates a maximum foot length of 110mm (approximately 3-9 months), while the EU20/Medium size fits a maximum foot length of 125mm (approximately 9-15 months). The EU22/Large size is suitable for a maximum foot length of 140mm (approximately 12 months and older). Each size features a leather upper, leather lining, and a combination of suede and rubber soles, ensuring quality and comfort.
SKEANIE pre walker shoes are not just stylish; they are also podiatry-designed and approved in Australia. Our Toddler and Pre Walker Shoes have been awarded the Seal of Acceptance by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), which means they meet the highest standards for foot health. Podiatrists and pediatricians recommend lightweight, flexible-soled shoes for babies and toddlers to promote healthy foot development.
The story of SKEANIE began in 2005 when Natasha Barber, a new mother, struggled to find quality soft shoes for her baby. This challenge led her to research foot health and development, ultimately sparking her passion for creating her own line of shoes. Today, SKEANIE Shoes for Kids is a trusted brand known for its commitment to quality and foot health.
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. The greatest changes in a child's foot occur within the first three years, and children's feet endure three times more stress than an average adult's foot. Additionally, a child’s foot sweats twice as much as an adult's foot!
To maintain the quality of your SKEANIE pre walker shoes, we recommend spraying them with a Water and Stain Repellent before wear. To keep them looking bright and new, simply wipe them with a clean damp cloth or leather wipe. For added care, applying Shucare Leather Conditioner and Renovating Polish will help maintain their softness and color. Please note that SKEANIE pre walker shoes should never be placed in the washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials.
All SKEANIE Shoes are designed in Australia and are Fair Trade Made, ensuring ethical production practices. Our pre walker shoes have been awarded the Seal of Acceptance by The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), reflecting our commitment to providing footwear that supports healthy foot development. Please be aware that colors may vary slightly due to the nature of the materials used.
