About Our Pre-Walkers

During the ‘cruising’ phase, i.e., the precious stage between crawling and unassisted walking, pre-walkers aid your baby’s sense of balance and coordination to support their development.

About Our Pre-Walkers

Pre-walkers are thinner and more flexible than regular baby shoes, helping them adapt to new sensations while providing a layer of protection as they grow more independent and curious about their surroundings.

With comfort and durability in mind, our new collection of pre-walkers was crafted with super soft sheepskin leather uppers that mould to their feet and allow for easy movement. Each style also includes:

  • Comfortable rounded toe for growing feet,
  • Soft suede soles for flexibility and grip,
  • Elastic or velcro openings and back loops for fuss-free dressing, plus
  • EVA insole for added comfort.
