The SKEANIE Ziggie First Walker Sandals in Tan are the perfect choice for your little one's first steps. Handcrafted from premium soft leather, these sandals provide the comfort and support that developing feet need. The lightweight and flexible rubber sole allows for natural movement, making them ideal for toddlers who are just beginning to explore their world.
One of the standout features of the Ziggie sandals is the hook and loop fastener that secures the shoe snugly across the top of the foot. This ensures that the sandals stay in place, providing stability as your child walks, runs, and plays. The sandals are available in various sizes to accommodate growing feet:
At SKEANIE, we prioritize your child's foot health. Our Ziggie sandals are podiatry-designed and approved in Australia, ensuring that they meet the highest standards for children's footwear. The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) has awarded our Toddler and Pre-walker leather baby shoes the Seal of Acceptance, highlighting their suitability for young feet. Podiatrists and pediatricians recommend lightweight, flexible-soled shoes for babies and toddlers, making the Ziggie sandals an excellent choice.
SKEANIE was founded by Natasha Barber, a mother who recognized the need for quality soft shoes for her child. In 2005, she embarked on a journey to create footwear that supports healthy foot development. Through extensive research and a passion for podiatry, Natasha launched SKEANIE Shoes for Kids, providing parents with stylish and functional options for their little ones.
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 first three years of a child's life are crucial for foot development, as their feet endure three times more stress than an adult's. Additionally, a child's foot sweats twice as much as an adult's foot, making proper footwear essential for comfort.
To keep your SKEANIE Ziggie sandals looking their best, we recommend spraying them with a Shucare Water and Stain Repellent before wear. Regular maintenance is key; simply wipe the sandals with a clean damp cloth or leather wipe to remove dirt. For added softness and color retention, apply Shucare Leather Conditioner and Renovating Polish. Please note that SKEANIE footwear should never be placed in the washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials.
