Crawling & the first steps

The most important mile stones in the first years.

Motor Skills Milestones

​ Motor development refers to your child’s ability to control and coordinate movements. Your child makes the most progress and reaches significant milestones during their first year of life.

Erstmalig in Bewegung
Krabbeln

Beim Krabbeln bewegt sich dein Baby erstmalig selbstständig von einem Ort zum anderen. Dadurch entwickelt es nicht nur ein besseres Gefühl für seine Umgebung, sondern baut auch Muskulatur auf, die wichtig für die ersten Gehversuche ist.

The First Steps
Learning to Walk

Around one year of age, your child will stand up for the first time and take their first steps. A bit unsteadily, they’ll stumble along, trying to keep their balance.

Healthy Feet

​ Healthy feet are more important than you might think. After all, they literally form the foundation of life. And that foundation should be laid early on—ideally right from the very first steps. ​ Our shoes are based on the barefoot shoe concept and thus combine a thin, flexible sole with plenty of freedom of movement to support the natural development of your child’s feet. Here’s what exactly sets our shoes apart:

Easy for children to put on and take off

Not only is the design child-friendly, the fastener is also easy to open and close!

Ultralight

Our barefoot shoes are so light and so comfortable! Almost like not wearing any shoes at all.

Thin, flexible sole

The sole is thin and flexible based on the barefoot shoe principle and allows the child’s foot to discover and develop in the best way.

Room to grow

Feet have enough room to grow and roll from heel to toe in our shoes. Nothing slips here with the tightly stitched soles.

Right and left markings

Our little animals help differentiate between right and left.

Reflective elements

The reflective elements ensure better visibility.

Slip-resistant

Our shoes have a fun and unique tread that is slip-resistant.
