Customer Reviews
Perfect fit for my toddler!
These shoes are amazing! The velcro straps make them so easy for my 3-year-old to put on by herself.
Love the design
The galaxy pattern is so cute and my daughter loves them. Great value for the price!
Great quality
Bought these for my son and he wears them every day. Would definitely buy again.
Balance improved dramatically
My daughter's balance improved so much after we switched to these from her old stiff shoes. The rounded edges really help prevent tripping and she walks with so much more confidence now!
Worth every penny
I was skeptical about spending this much on shoes she'll outgrow, but after seeing how they support natural foot development and actually last through everything, they're completely worth it.
Best investment for my toddler
Best investment I've made for my toddler - these shoes give me confidence that I'm supporting his healthy development while making our mornings so much easier.
Actually meets pediatric recommendations
I've bought four different brands trying to find ones that meet what pediatricians recommend. These are the only ones that actually check every box for first walkers.
First confident steps
My son took his first real confident steps in these and I genuinely think it's because he can actually feel the ground through the thin sole.
Immediate difference
My daughter's first steps in these were so steady compared to her old shoes - the difference was immediate and honestly amazing to watch.
Checked all my research boxes
These meet every single recommendation I found during weeks of researching healthy first walker shoes. Finally something that actually delivers.
Perfect for chunky feet
My son's feet are like little dinner rolls and these are the first shoes that close around them comfortably without leaving marks or making him cry.
Daycare approved
These survived three weeks of daycare without a single issue, and his teacher even asked where I got them because they stay on so well!
Grippy and safe
The grippy traction gives me peace of mind on slippery surfaces at the splash pad and our tile floors at home.
Pediatrician noticed
I can literally bend these in half which tells me they're doing what baby shoes should do. My pediatrician even commented on how flexible they are during our last visit!
Grows with her feet
They fit her chubby feet perfectly without squishing her toes, and the adjustable velcro means I can loosen them as she grows.
Thoughtfully designed
The rounded sole edges have helped prevent so many trips and stumbles - you can tell these were designed by people who actually understand toddlers.
Physical therapist approved
The thin sole lets her feel textures while walking which her physical therapist said is exactly what she needs for sensory development.
Everything I needed
Wide opening, secure velcro, and actually built for baby feet - everything I needed in one shoe after trying so many other brands.
Easy on, secure fit
Finally found shoes that are easy for me to put on but secure enough that he can't take them off in the car seat during our commute.
Steady and confident
My daughter takes such steady, confident steps now - choosing the right first shoes really does matter more than I thought.
August 25, 2025
My son's feet can actually spread naturally in these for proper balance, unlike every other shoe we tried that cramped his toes.
Fixed her posture
Zero-drop sole means she's not walking on her tiptoes anymore - her posture is so much better and more natural looking.
Style and function
These are the first shoes where I don't feel guilty about choosing style over function because they're actually both!
Still perfect after two months
The Sugar Cookie Beige color is so cute and they're still in perfect condition after two months of constant wear at daycare and home!
Washing machine test passed
I've washed them five times and they still look amazing - the durability is incredible for toddler shoes that get so dirty.
So flexible
The flexibility is unreal - I can fold them completely which shows they won't restrict natural movement like her old shoes did.
Goes with everything
Got the Galaxy Black and they go with everything while still being the healthiest option for his feet according to our pediatrician.
Barefoot protection
These support barefoot-like walking while protecting from sharp objects, which is exactly what first walker shoes should do.
No sacrifice needed
The Cotton Candy Pink ones are adorable and I love that I don't have to sacrifice foot health for cute shoes anymore.
No shoe battles
No more morning shoe battles - the Cotton Candy Pink ones slide on in seconds and he can't kick them off no matter how hard he tries.
Washing machine safe
Survived the washing machine perfectly and came out looking brand new - such a relief!
Easy to get on
The wide opening makes getting them on so easy, even when she's trying to run away from me during diaper changes!
