What Makes EarlyWalkers™ So Special?
Walking is complex and all the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones have to become accustomed to this new style of movement.
Our body also needs to understand where our feet are and what they’re doing!
Going with barefoot shoes helps this development.
EARLY WALKERS: Getting a head start
Studies suggest that babies who start walking earlier may develop superior memory, attention, and social skills as children compared to those who start walking later.
Enhanced Independence
Our early walking baby shoes help your little one take their first steps with confidence, encouraging a sense of autonomy. As they explore their surroundings with greater freedom and curiosity, they'll develop self-reliance and the ability to navigate their environment on their own.
Accelerated Cognitive Development
Early walking can boost your child's cognitive growth, particularly in areas like spatial awareness and problem-solving. Our specially designed shoes support your child as they learn to move, helping them engage in complex mental processes as they plan their steps, overcome obstacles, and make decisions about their surroundings.
Communication Advancements
With increased mobility, early walkers often experience a leap in language development. Our shoes not only support your child’s physical growth but also enhance their ability to interact with others, providing more opportunities for communication and accelerating their language acquisition process.
Stop Wasting 💸 On Uncomfortable Shoes.
Our EarlyWalkers™ baby shoes help make your baby feel more confident and stable when they walk. Helping build their independence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do These Run Large, Small, or True to size?
EarlyWalkers™ run slightly small. So if you're unsure of which size to choose, size up.
Do You Have a Sizing Guide?
Yes, we have a sizing guide on all of our product pages. Please ensure you reference the sizing guide for the pair of shoes you're looking to purchase and measure the child's foot before a purchase is made.
Can These Be Worn Without Socks?
Yes, EarlyWalkers™ can be worn with or without socks based on personal preference.
What Materials are These Made From?
The uppers are a blend of 87.2% polyester fiber and 12.8% spandex. The outsoles are made of thermoplastic rubber which is kid-friendly, environmentally-friendly, and provides anti-slip properties.
How Do I Clean Them?
For regular cleaning we recommend machine washing them on a gentle cycle with COLD water. Then, just let them air dry.
For stubborn scuff marks you can apply a bit of dawn dish soap to the outsole and use a cloth to rub away the dirt. Alternatively, we also find that using a half teaspoon of powdered tide mixed with one cup of warm water works great for cleaning the outsole.
Do They Have Arch Support?
No, EarlyWalkers™ don't have any artificial arch support built into them. This is to allow for the baby's arches to develop naturally.
Are They Good for Wide/Chunky Feet?
Yes! The flexible upper material allows the shoes to stretch for feet that are wide or chunky making them the perfect fit.
Are They Comfortable?
Yes! In fact, many of our customers say that EarlyWalkers™ are the only shoes their child will wear.
Are They Waterproof?
No. The uppers of our EarlyWalkers™ are made with fabric and will absorb water if submerged. Though they are fine to get wet - just set them outside to dry.
Do They Allow the Foot to Breathe?
Yes! The upper mesh material is designed to allow the foot to breathe. This helps to keep your little one's feet dry and cool.
