Non-toxic silicone rubber base
How do I keep them clean?
Easily wipe away any dirt with a wet wipe to make the shoes look brand new.
We wanted to ensure that these shoes require minimal maintenance!
If the cotton material gets dirty, simply place them in a laundry bag and wash them with your regular clothes.
What makes these shoes podiatrist-recommended?
After speaking with numerous podiatrists across Australia regarding this shoe style, we can confirm that these shoes, unlike others, are thin, flat, flexible, and do not restrict growth or movement, making them ideal for growing feet! Unlike other thick, hard-soled shoes that are more narrow, these sock shoes are wider, meaning your little one's feet won’t be squished in any way — this is why we say they provide all-day comfort! When you take a step, your toes naturally spread out, and they aren’t meant to stay narrow the entire time. This is why the top of the shoe is much wider, allowing their toes to flex freely.
What are the benefits?
After extensive studies, flat shoes have been shown to provide the most beneficial start to your baby’s walking journey.
Sock shoes are designed to mimic barefoot walking, meaning there are no restrictions on growth like with other shoes, especially typical hard-soled shoes.
Sock shoes are the most beneficial style for babies and toddlers because, although they are thin and flat, the rubber soles are durable enough to protect your child's feet.
The durable rubber soles protect their feet from the outside world while still maintaining that barefoot walking feel.
Studies have shown that allowing your child to go barefoot provides better long-term foot health than other types of shoes.
We understand that you can’t always leave your child barefoot, especially outdoors, which is why the sock shoe is the ideal solution. It is the closest shoe you can find that replicates the feeling of barefoot walking, as it is specifically designed to do so.
I've received my order and think it’s faulty, what do I do?
Firstly, we are so sorry! We can assure you that this problem rarely occurs, as we take extra caution when packing your orders.
Simply send a photo to contact.littletoes@gmail.com, and we will organize an exchange or refund immediately. We take our customer experience seriously, so if you are not happy with your shoes for any reason, please reach out to us and we will arrange for a replacement.
Do I go by the age guide or cm length recommendation?
We provide cm measurements to ensure the most accurate sizing. For best results, measure your child’s foot and refer to the recommended foot length for that size. If your child’s foot is 12.4cm, the foot length recommendation best suited for that size would be 12/18 months (12.5cm). For best results, do not feel the need to size up to 18/24 months (13.2cm), even if your child is older than 18 months. The age guide is there to make the process easier for you, but the cm measurements listed on the product page represent the ideal foot length for that size, so please do not size up!
What size should I pick?
We recommend using our size chart listed on the product page. If your little one is between sizes, we highly recommend choosing the smaller size. If you decide to size up, the sock shoes may fall off easily. However, if your little one is between sizes, they will still be able to comfortably wear the shoes, as they are designed to slip on like a sock. This means they are extremely stretchy and flexible, so your little one should still get a few extra months of use even between sizes.
