As babies grow, they begin to stand and walk on their own two feet.
It is important to have shoes that fit your feet properly to prevent the feet from growing too fast.
Familiar shoes provide gentle support for your baby when they go out.

First shoes
The thoughts that go into these little shoes. We create them with baby-friendly care in mind. Once your baby starts to stand up, it's time to start preparing their first shoes.
Baby's first shoes
First shoes are indoor training shoes for getting your child used to shoes. Getting used to shoes that fit comfortably will make it easier for them to transition to the next step, such as standing and walking with their hands.
These are your baby's first shoes, so choose ones that are absorbent and made of a soft material that won't put strain on the baby's feet.
Babies' feet are very soft and mostly made up of cartilage. The cartilage gradually turns into bone, but it's important to protect the feet during this process. Once your baby starts to stand up, it's time to get shoes ready.
Although they are only worn for a short period of time, first shoes play a very important role. They also serve as a keepsake of a child's growth, so you want to choose high-quality shoes that are worthy of being treasured.
Voices of senior mothers
- I thought I would buy them once he started walking, but the store clerk told me he would need them when he was ready to stand up, so I bought him a pair of pure white first shoes. They were soft and easy to put on, so he didn't mind them. Although it was a short period of time, I think it was good that both parent and child were able to practice getting used to shoes.
- I didn't really understand the importance of shoes, but I was surprised to learn that they affect the development of a baby's foot bones. I was also worried about how to get my size measured, but I was relieved to have the staff at the store measure me.
Attention to detail in parts
leather
We use high-quality A-rank leather, especially the softest parts.
Upper part
The cross section of a baby's foot is round around 12 months old, so the instep is sewn into a three-dimensional shape to fit the circumference of the foot. The shoes have a four-layer structure to provide excellent cushioning. A series of anti-slip points are placed on the outer part, where babies with bow legs bear their weight when standing.
Heel part
The heel area has a soft, cushioned urethane pad inside, designed to gently encase your baby's tender ankles.
Attention to detail in cutting and sewing
Attention to detail in cutting
Each part is cut by hand using a die. The parts are cut to three different thicknesses: original thickness, slightly thin, and ultra-thin, and are sewn together to ensure that every part is shaped and finished evenly and beautifully. This special "gap" is achieved without any adjustment screws, and is done solely by the craftsman's sense of touch.
Attention to detail in sewing
The speed of the industrial sewing machine is slowed down and the shoes are carefully sewn by hand. This allows the stitching to fit the last perfectly (the ideal shape). Not only does it look good, but it also ensures that the functionality of a first shoe (flexibility, flexibility, durability, etc.) is as designed.
The stitch count is the same as Familia's clothing, with a basic number of 14 stitches or more within 3 cm, which enhances the appearance and durability of the shoes.

Baby shoes
Once your baby has passed the stage of standing up and is getting good at walking, it's time to graduate from their first shoes indoors. For the next step, prepare baby shoes.
The wide opening makes them easy to put on and take off, and they fit snugly to the baby's feet as they learn to walk. As there is a large difference in the height of the arches of babies at a young age, the adjustable straps ensure that the shoes completely cover the feet.
The soles of the baby shoes are made of non-slip rubber. The inside of the shoes is also made of moisture-absorbing natural materials for babies who sweat a lot. The soft interior and moderate cushioning on the soles make it less tiring for babies to wear them for long periods of time.
Voices of senior mothers
- I was thinking to myself that I should buy a slightly larger size because the size would quickly become too small, but the store clerk told me that the perfect size is important for the baby's growing feet and for ease of walking, so I agreed and bought them. Since this is a time when he can't sit still, the design that makes it easy to put on quickly was very helpful.
- I received a variety of shoes as a gift, but I realized that even if they are the same size, there are subtle differences depending on the manufacturer, and some shoes fit my child's feet better than others. Trying them on is important. I thought it would be a hassle to fasten the belt every time I put them on, but it turned out to be very convenient to be able to adjust them to fit my feet.
How to choose shoes
Shoes that adapt to the developmental stages of children's feet
Children's feet grow at a rate of about 1cm every six months until they are about two and a half years old. It is not advisable to have your child wear shoes that are too big for them just because they will soon outgrow them. This can lead to foot problems.
Wearing shoes that are the wrong size can hinder movement and can lead to problems such as bunions and hammertoes.
Check your baby's foot size every 2-3 months.
Shoes that are too small
Children's soft feet become deformed, and even the way they walk changes.
Shoes that are too big
Your feet move around inside your shoes and you can't walk properly.
From the time they are born, children gradually move their arms and legs, start crawling, and eventually stand up and start walking. Choose shoes that suit each child's developmental stage.
STEP 1: Be able to stand
First (11.5-13.0cm)
Shoes that are designed to accommodate the unpredictable walking movements of babies and prevent them from tripping.
STEP 2: Baby can walk
Baby (13.0-15.0cm)
Shoes that firmly protect the unstable ankles and support walking when walking with a "stomping" motion that uses the entire sole of the foot
STEP 3 Basic walking movements can be performed
Kids (15.0-22.0cm)
These shoes are designed to give a barefoot feel and are flexible and easy to use for the toes, especially when the arch of the foot is still developing.
Tips for choosing shoes
Can I adjust the height of the instep?
If the shoes are too loose, they can cause blisters and make it difficult to walk.Is there 5mm to 1cm of space at the toes?
You need room to move your fingers freely.Do the heels fit?
If the heels don't fit properly, walking will become unstable.Are your toes slightly curved?
Without a sled, it's easy to trip.Are the bending points of your feet and shoes aligned?
We recommend shoes with soles that are moderately flexible and easy to bend.
