Our collection of baby and toddler trainers is designed to brighten up little feet with a variety of fun colours and playful designs.
Made with soft, flexible materials, they allow for natural movement while offering the security and stability needed for growing feet. Whether cruising, taking independent steps, or tearing about the house, our baby trainers are designed to keep up with every stage of development.
Choosing the best trainers for babies and toddlers
Finding the right infant trainers for babies and toddlers is essential for ensuring comfort, support, and healthy foot development. Look for shoes available in whole and half sizes, along with a choice of width fittings, to provide a secure and tailored fit that supports growing feet. The shape of the shoe is also key, and just as important as the size. First walker trainers should be designed to match the natural shape of a child’s foot, rather than being a scaled-down adult version. Many young children often have wider, chubby, and squarer-shaped feet, so shoes should mirror this. A well-shaped shoe also allows for natural movement, unrestricted growth, and the development of balance and coordination.
Breathability is another key factor when choosing the best trainers for babies and toddlers. Shoes with breathable linings are best as they allow perspiration to escape through the surface, keeping little feet fresh, dry, and comfortable throughout the day.
Features of first walker trainers
Our first walker trainers are made using premium materials that provide durability without compromising on flexibility or comfort. Designed to withstand the demands of early walking, they feature reinforced toe and heel bumpers to protect delicate feet from bumps and scuffs, ensuring long-lasting wear. The super-flexible soles allow for unrestricted movement which helps little feet develop strength and stability with every step – making them a perfect follow-on from pre-walkers.
To make life easier for parents and little ones alike, our trainers are designed with rip-tape fastenings, offering a secure and adjustable fit that is easy to put on and take off – allowing for a snug fit that keeps feet supported while allowing for quick and fuss-free changes.
