Finding Their First Shoe
When looking for their first shoe, ideally it should have:
- super lightweight construction, (imagine how you would feel going from barefoot to wearing heavy platform shoes, it would restrict your movement)
- a comfortable fit in length and width
- plenty of room for the toes, but not too wide that the shoes knock whilst walking
- a flexible, flat sole – check the sole can bend near the toe
- the front of the shoe is wider than the heel, to match the natural shape of the foot
- a solid heel counter support (part that goes around the back of the heel)
- the right size fit, a design that prevents the foot from slipping inside the shoe
Tot and Toe Baby Sock Shoes
Our baby sock shoes offer the perfect balance between barefoot walking while offering protection like a regular shoe. They are super flexible and ultra-lightweight, great for early steps as they also provide more freedom of movement than regular heavier/rigid shoes.
Not only will your little one love sock shoes, you will too! We have saved so much time slipping these shoes on our kids. Spend less time worrying about what they wear and more time having fun with them.
Your tots will love wearing them because they are easy to wear and very comfortable (just like socks). The non-toxic food grade rubber soles will protect those precious little feet on most surfaces. The flexible and ultra lightweight design are safe for first steps as they provide freedom of movement and closely mimics barefoot walking.
After trying several other brands, we grew to love the functionality and benefits of sock shoes. We wanted to create something a bit different, unisex designs that are simple with a bit of fun on a slimmer sole. We have done it! See the new range.
The baby sock shoe is made of cotton/spandex on the upper sock and non-toxic glued on a rubber sole. The sole is made 100% TPE (thermoplastic elastomer which is safe, non-toxic, baby grade material used for teething toys). We have sourced our shoes from an ethical and experienced supplier from China.
The sole is suitable for first walkers and toddlers as they provide the perfect balance between barefoot walking and protecting those little feet from indoor and outdoor (including the beach) surfaces. The cotton and rubber sole results in an ultra lightweight combination being 76g (for size 120cm). With a cotton sock upper, it is super easy to pop on. Our designs are unique to Tot and Toe so you won’t find these anywhere else.
Our first collection is ‘Happy Fruits’ as we wanted to introduce some base colours with a cheerful simple print. We hope your LOs will love wearing them and are able to brighten up everyone’s day around them.
