Step Sneakers

Barefoot Shoes by the Brazilian brand Tip Toey Joey. The wide toe box design aligned with the feet's anatomy, allows for toe freedom, keeping them straight, activated and free to grow healthily.
These shoes are one of the best options for this particular stage, when kids begin to play more and become more independent, since they are very durable and resistant, along with its rubber protection, while keeping the flexibility that characterizes Barefoot shoes. The sole is thinner than it looks - with 7mm thickness (insole included).
Velcro shoes tend to fit medium to larger feet, with a higher instep/arch better, while elastic laces are a better fit for narrower/thinner feet with a lower arch.
Walking Stage: especially designed for when children walk freely and autonomously (usually about a year after) and are running, jumping and climbing. When brand new they will feel less flexible but upon regular use and exposure to heat they soften a lot.
