Walking Shoes
Baby shoes for delicate feet
Baby or children's feet are not like small adult feet! They consist primarily of cartilage and are therefore much softer and more flexible; the foot bones are still developing slowly. The human foot needs 18 years(!) to finally develop and harden all of the foot bones. This fact should be taken into account by parents when it comes to buying their first baby shoes.
Even the slightest pressure - caused by shoes that don't fit, for example - or too little room for movement can cause permanent damage to babies and small children. Little baby feet and their toes can move and develop best when they are allowed to romp around barefoot. Unfortunately, it is often too cold, dirty or even dangerous for this. That's why you should choose baby shoes and crawling shoes that take this into account in the structure of the shoes, the material used and the fit.
To avoid misunderstandings regarding the names: POLOLO baby shoes or walking shoes are intended to protect the foot from cold, wet, bumps and injuries. With a healthy foot, they have no support function when crawling, trying to walk for the first time or when running - and they also don't speed up learning to walk! The children can do it all on their own... ;o)
Baby shoes, crawling shoes and slippers for toddlers
Our baby shoes for crawling are like a non-slip second skin that warms and protects little children's feet. They are the best alternative to healthy barefoot walking, as the leather slippers from POLOLO give the foot exactly the freedom of movement it needs for healthy development. When standing, walking, hopping, jumping and running, children's muscles are trained and strengthened in a variety of ways - just like when running barefoot. By the way: Strong muscles are the best prerequisite for healthy and resilient children's feet.
Learning shoes for toddlers – for their first ventures outside
The first “real” shoe is always exciting! A walking shoe should be flexible and light and the shoe soles should definitely be able to be bent easily - like our collection for Walking Shoes. This allows your feet to roll and makes taking your first steps child's play.
We also pay attention to quality when it comes to materials. Our leather is particularly low in pollutants and skin-friendly. The POLOLO outdoor walking shoes (model “Juan”) have a raised sole in the toe area to protect against trips and minor falls. The vegetable-tanned leather is particularly breathable, soft and flexible. Natural leather is particularly suitable for the optimal fit on the foot. POLOLO leather is tested for harmful substances and certified according to the “IVN Natural Leather” standard.
At home you can use the Size chart It's very easy to find the right size for your first walking shoe. With almost all of POLOLO's outdoor children's shoes, you can remove the insole and simply place your child on it. Then you can see whether the inside length fits. You can find particularly affordable children's shoes and baby shoes in our “SALE”. There we sell discontinued models very cheaply, while stocks last!
