At birth, a baby’s feet are soft and so cute that you would love to hold them in the palm of your hand forever. But as parents, we know very well that in the following months and years they will grow and go through incredible changes. During this period, babies need footwear that protects them from the cold or possible injuries, but since the bones in their feet are still soft cartilage and their feet are developing, the footwear must be soft and wide enough not to constrict their tiny toes and feet.
Smooth development can only happen if the feet are as free as possible. Children’s footwear should therefore imitate walking barefoot as much as possible.
Over the years, children will go through five stages of development as they learn to crawl, walk, run, dance and play. Most changes happen in the first six years. When fully developed, a child’s feet will have 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments.
Every child is individual and develops at different speeds.
How long it takes them to start walking, or how early their feet start to form, can vary greatly from child to child. It is important not to worry about this, as your child will soon be walking, running and jumping.
The best footwear for a child is the one that allows him to walk in them as if he were barefoot. Therefore, it is important to choose soft footwear with a non-slip sole and an instep that is not too high. Flexible and roomy footwear that does not restrict movement enables proper growth of bones, muscles and ligaments. Also pay attention to the sealing of the shoe in the ankles, which can be caused by a too high and too hard instep, which affects the improper load on the hips. Narrowing of the leg can cause chronic inflammation of the joints on the leg, pain and deformities in later life.
Let me tell you about my positive experience with your slippers… We were given a pair of Snugi slippers from my niece, and now, since September, my daughter has been wearing them in kindergarten, and they are still completely intact. We also have snuggles at home and they are as good as new. So I’ll just say that these are the best value slippers money can buy! The next slippers I buy, should I need them and don’t inherit some, will be from Snugi.
I take my daughter for development therapy and the physiotherapist recommended your slippers. They really are very effective. My daughter now walks more confidently and I’m not worried about her slipping when she walks.
These are the best slippers we’ve ever had. The children do not want to take them off at all. They’d even wear them in bed.
I realise you already know this, but the last time my 100-year-old grandmother went to fetch the little one from kindergarten she said to me – do you know, everyone used to have Ciciban’s slippers back in the day? Well, now everybody has ones like Niko and Mark. And today I looked in my wardrobe and out of 20+ slippers, I really only saw three pairs that weren’t yours. So congratulations! And of course, thank you for a fantastic and affordable product.
Your slippers are a winner! We have a pair for at home, one for kindergarten, and we also keep a pair at grandma’s. Great idea and product. Basically no-one else comes close. Now we will also give the Toughtek sole a try for the first time, once our little girl has grown a bit.
