Perfect for Babies or Toddlers Showing Early Signs of Walking
They're really lightweight. They've got a wide forefoot, which allows their toes to splay out and spread. They've got a breathable fly net upper with a fastening, so this is perfect to allow a natural gait. Your little ones can feel the floor beneath them, which helps with balance and coordination.

Perfect for Outdoor Play
My baby has been wearing Attipas baby shoes for 6 months - which I love - but wanted something a bit more protective when playing outdoors. These are perfect. No more wet feet when playing on wet surfaces and the breathable mesh means no more sweaty feet. 5 stars!
