Frequently Asked Questions About Barefoot First Shoes

When should my baby start wearing shoes?

Babies don't need shoes until they're walking confidently and need foot protection outdoors. Indoors, going barefoot is best for early walkers, because feeling the floor helps them develop balance, coordination and foot strength. Once your toddler is walking on pavements, grass or rougher ground, a soft, flexible first shoe protects their feet while still letting them move naturally.

What should I look for in first walking shoes?

Good first walking shoes should be lightweight, flexible and shaped like a toddler's foot, with a wide toe box so toes can spread. Look for a thin, flat sole that bends easily, and a secure fastening, such as a hook-and-loop strap, so the shoe stays on without slipping. Avoid stiff or heavy soles, which can make early walking harder.

Should toddlers wear soft-soled or hard-soles shoes?

Soft, flexible soles are generally better for toddlers who are learning to walk. A flexible sole let the foot bend and grip naturally, and helps toddlers feel the ground beneath them, which supports balance. Hard, rigid soles can restrict movement and make little feet work harder. Barefoot first shoes combine a soft, flexible sole with enough grip and protection for outdoor walking.

What size first shoes should I buy for my toddler?

Measure your toddler's feet while they're standing, then allow around 0.5-0.8cm of space in front of the longest toe for growth and natural movement. Toddler feet grow quickly, so check their size every couple of months. Fit varies between brands, so compare the measurement with each brand's size chart. Our measuring guides and brand size charts help you choose the right size.

Are barefoot wellies good for toddlers?

Yes. Barefoot wellies are a great choice for toddlers because they are lighter and more flexible that traditional wellies, which are often stiff, heavy and narrow at the toes. A flexible sole and roomy toe box let toddlers walk, run and jump through puddles more naturally. Styles such as the Bundgaard Toddler Wellies Cover are made for little feet. For colder days, pair them with warm socks and allow a little extra room for them.
