Textile first walking shoes: when are they needed?

Children do not need shoes simply because they have started pulling themselves up. Indoors on a safe surface, barefoot movement is usually the most natural option. Shoes become useful when an independently walking child needs protection from cold, rough ground or outdoor conditions.

FARE FIRST textile first walking shoes in EU sizes 19–23 are made for indoors and warm, dry conditions. Breathable textile uppers keep the shoes light, while the sole must still suit the surface on which the child walks.

Fit matters more than age

Measure both feet while the child is standing. Compare length and width with the internal measurements of the specific model. There should be useful growing room in front of the toes, but the shoe must not slide at the heel or force the child to grip with curled toes.

FARE FIRST follows barefoot principles such as a flexible sole, low weight, a flat construction and generous toe space. Barefoot features are not a universal guarantee of fit: the shape must still match the child’s foot and the fastening must hold securely.

Check the size regularly

Toddlers’ feet can grow quickly and in sudden stages. Check the fit regularly and whenever shoes become harder to put on, the child’s gait changes or pressure marks appear.
