Growth stages

Their little feet

Children’s feet that begin crawling are primarily made of cartilage and small bones that are still developing. Their adorable little feet are flat and soft with no arch. They have chubby ankles, square toes that bend, and heels that are not yet fully defined.

Their movements

They drag themselves, rolling on their belly and starting to crawl and move on all fours from a sitting position. At this stage, children haven’t yet tried to stand, they’ve just begun to explore the world on all fours. They are curious to explore the world around them, touching and grabbing objects they encounter as they drag themselves on their belly or lie on their back and kick. The journey has just begun.

Their shoes

A newborn's feet are so malleable that rigid shoes or even tight socks could affect their healthy development. Bobux Soft Soles are made from flexible leather to protect little feet while allowing them the freedom to develop naturally. The Soft Sole features a soft suede sole, unlined leather upper, and an elasticized ankle to prevent babies from removing their shoes. Fun and cute characters stitched onto the upper of the shoes, with their faces facing the child, help spark their imagination and creativity. Bobux Soft Soles guide your baby through their first adventures inside the house.

Their little feet

At this stage, their little feet are starting to form, with their heels and small toes taking shape, allowing them to stand upright with some physical support like furniture, etc. Their feet are still soft, chubby, with flat soles and no sign of an arch yet.

Their movements

At this stage, they still can't stand on their own but use physical supports like furniture to remain upright. They can stand with this little help and are excited and curious to see the world from a new perspective. Without anything to hold onto, they prefer to continue crawling, but soon they will start taking their first steps on their own.

Their shoes

Children's feet change every day, which is why the materials of their shoes must be able to provide a full range of movement and the freedom to develop naturally. Xplorer shoes are lightweight and durable, protecting children's feet as they begin to stand. The rough, grippy soles help children push against surfaces, and the reinforced toe caps protect their little toes while crawling. The Xplorer sole has been thoughtfully designed to flex with your child’s movement, allowing their feet to strengthen naturally as they grow and begin to explore.

Their little feet

Children in the first steps phase have a unique foot shape. Their little feet are still chubby and cute like a newborn's, but their heels are now developed enough to support the weight of their body. The bones in their feet are starting to form, and their feet are still rounded with a layer of fat on the sole. The arch remains undefined, but don't worry, their feet will soon take further shape.

Their movements

At this point, children are still learning to walk with confidence, so they may easily wobble and lose their balance. They are starting to explore on their own uncertainly, and even though they may sometimes fall backward, they can easily recover and move forward. Their joints are still forming, their little feet point outward, and their chubby legs don't yet bend as they walk.

Their shoes

The Step Up shoes by Bobux are flexible and soft, ideal for growing feet. They feature rounded soles that are perfect for the first outdoor adventures. Carefully designed to fit the early walking stage, they are made exclusively from soft materials that adapt perfectly to chubby little feet. The Step Up shoes are designed as first shoes for toddlers while maintaining all the important features of fit and stability needed for early movements.

Their little feet

As children become more confident in walking, their feet strengthen and develop further. The little feet of our toddlers are becoming more muscular and defined, and the layers of fat on the soles of their feet have almost disappeared. The arch of the foot has started to form, and the heels are now clearly visible.

Their movements

It seems that as soon as children can walk confidently, their first desire is to run, jump, and play. Children at this stage walk securely, without falling, they are starting to run, and may occasionally jump on objects. They are energy, exploding from one room to another in the house, as they learn to move with greater confidence.

Their little shoes

Learning to move faster, stop suddenly, jump, and change direction are all diverse actions that require greater support. The I-Walk models are the most flexible in the entire range and feature a sole that grips the ground to ensure maximum flexibility even during the most active playtimes. In fact, at this stage, children begin to make movements that are crucial for their mental development, so it is important for them to have the right shoes to accompany them on this journey. By now, children want to have a say in their shoes, even from an aesthetic point of view, so designing shoes they will love has become a necessity for us.

Their little feet

When children begin to enter the phase of active play, their feet are already more developed and start to resemble the shape of adult feet. It’s the stage of life where they begin to communicate more, move a lot, and where a more skilled foot is needed to support active play movements.

Their movements

At this stage, children now run confidently, jumping, and starting to stop suddenly with ease. They kick their first balls, play, dance, and jump rope. Their movements are faster and more coordinated. They are becoming socially aware, making friends, and playing with their peers. Their minds are growing as they learn about the world around them and become more aware of their own movements.

Their little shoes

A more active play requires a sturdier shoe. The design of the Kid+ sole combines the durability needed for active play with the comfort and protection inherent in all our shoes. Thanks to ultralight and flexible materials, the Bobux Kid+ range withstands all the activities children engage in. Designed, from the sole up, to be the shoes in which your child will live and love every day of their life.
