Canvas Flats Gaia

Barefoot ballerinas by Tip Toey Joey, designed for first steps and gait acquisition. They are a more classic option, great for parties and ceremonies, but simulate the feeling of "being barefoot" as much as possible, with a minimalist structure that allows maximum freedom of movement and sensations. Their shape is wide, allowing the toes to move freely. The sole is thin, flat and very flexible. They have an almost "second skin" effect that keeps children very comfortable, with full freedom to learn and explore.

Gait stage: It is an ideal model from the moment children take their first steps until there is no size available, especially during the first year of gait acquisition (the phase in which they learn to walk and balance). As a reference, this usually happens when children are between 1 and 3 years old, on average. They only need to switch to the next stage models (complete gait) when there is no size available or when they no longer work well in terms of wear.

Foot type: The ballerinas usually work better for medium, wide feet or with a medium/high instep. They have a wide shape and a velcro that allows adjustment according to the need. They are among the options with the widest insole during gait acquisition.

Composition: They are made of canvas with 100% cotton. The lining is made of cotton twill and the insole is made of plant-based EVA derived from sugar cane. The sole is made of soft and flexible natural rubber. It is a vegan barefoot footwear option that respects the feet and our planet.

The brand: Tip Toey Joey is a Brazilian barefoot footwear brand that emerged in 2004, inspired by Sofia, the daughter of Anna and Scott McInerney. The father is a designer and studied her little foot to create shoes that considered natural development. Everything started with the drawing of her foot. Today, with more than 20 years of experience, it is one of the main references in children's barefoot footwear.
