Babies should ideally go barefoot until they develop a proper walking pattern. However, in daily life, sometimes it's necessary to wear something to protect or keep little feet warm. With this in mind, Attipas were created ? footwear designed to protect feet when the environment or weather doesn't allow barefoot walking. It's a respectful shoe that does not interfere with gait development, supporting healthy growth and free movement.
This is an autumn/winter model, made from sustainable cotton with Oeko Tex Standard certification. They feature a higher sock-like shaft and keep feet warm and cozy.
Mada Tip: If your little one has wider ankles and the Attipas leave marks, leave them overnight in a container so they loosen slightly. Many parents have tried this and shared positive feedback.
First Steps
When babies start taking steps without support. They should spend most of the time barefoot or in non-slip socks. The first shoes are needed once they start walking outdoors, to provide protection. They should be barefoot and minimalist to recreate the feeling of “being barefoot,” with a wide toe box for free toes, flexibility for natural movement, and a thin sole for sensory feedback and adaptation.
Up & Go
The first year when the child learns to master walking and balance. It’s still important to prioritise barefoot time whenever possible, but barefoot shoes become more essential as children get more active. In the first six months, the ideal models are the most minimalist ones, almost like a “second skin,” so the child has maximum freedom of movement without restriction. They can be used as long as the size is available.
