Introducing the SKEANIE T-Bar Baby & Toddler First/Pre Walker Shoes in Navy, the perfect footwear for your little one's first steps. These shoes are meticulously handcrafted from buttery soft leather, ensuring comfort and flexibility for growing feet. Designed with a hook and loop closure, they provide a snug fit, while the cushioned ankle collar adds extra support, making them ideal for babies and toddlers who are just starting to walk.
The SKEANIE Pre-walker shoes come in three sizes: EU18/Small, EU20/Medium, and EU22/Large, catering to different stages of your child's development. The EU18/Small size is suitable for maximum foot lengths of 110mm (approximately 3-9 months), featuring a leather upper, leather lining, and a soft suede sole. The EU20/Medium size accommodates maximum foot lengths of 125mm (approximately 9-15 months) and includes a combination of suede and rubber soles for added durability. Finally, the EU22/Large size is designed for maximum foot lengths of 140mm (approximately 12 months plus), also featuring a leather upper and a mix of suede and rubber soles.
SKEANIE Shoes for Kids are not just stylish; they are also podiatry-designed and approved in Australia. Our Toddler and Pre-walker leather baby shoes have received the prestigious Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). This endorsement highlights the importance of lightweight, flexible-soled shoes for your baby's foot health. Podiatrists and pediatricians recommend these types of shoes to support healthy foot development during the crucial early years.
Founded by Natasha Barber in 2005, SKEANIE was born out of a mother's necessity to find high-quality, soft shoes for her child. After struggling to find suitable options, Natasha embarked on a journey to create her own line of footwear. Her passion for foot health and development led her to research extensively, resulting in the launch of SKEANIE Shoes for Kids. Today, SKEANIE is synonymous with quality, comfort, and style, ensuring that every child can take their first steps with confidence.
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 the age of 13. The first three years are critical for foot development, as children's feet endure three times more stress than an adult's foot. Additionally, a child's foot sweats twice as much as an adult's foot, making proper footwear essential for comfort and health.
To keep your SKEANIE footwear looking fresh and new, we recommend spraying them with a Shucare Water and Stain Repellent before wear. Regular maintenance is simple; just wipe them down with a clean damp cloth or leather wipe. For added softness and color retention, applying Shucare Leather Conditioner and Renovating Polish is beneficial. Please note that SKEANIE footwear 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. With their stylish design and commitment to foot health, SKEANIE T-Bar Baby & Toddler First/Pre Walker Shoes in Navy are the perfect choice for your child's early walking adventures.
