PEARLY SHEILA fashionable silver boots
This is our third time purchasing with first Walkers ,our daughter who has Cerebral Palsy needs really supportive shoes so when she revives her Afo's they will fit perfectly in her shoes. It's so good she has the supportive shoes that she needs as well as them being beautiful and girly we were even stopped by parents who commented on how pretty they were which made me so happy. I recommend they go online to First Walkers and purchase their very own pair.

ANDY BLUE all blue nubuck gear
I just wanted to say how pleased we are with the First Walkers we purchased for our daughter. She has low muscle tone and joint hypermobility. All her gross motor milestones have been borderline late and we went to see a developmental physiotherapist. They suggested orthopaedic shoes/boots with ankle support. I searched online and found your website. We purchased a pair of size 3 sandals (following the sizing instructions on your website) and they fit our daughter perfectly. She has just taken her first independent steps a few days short of 18 months of age and we are sure this is has been greatly assisted by your shoes, which she has been wearing for the last month. They are showing minimal signs of wear and tear after many hours of walking, climbing and crawling in all weather. We will definitely be back for more!

Shoes Well Fit For Growing Feet

Want Toddler Shoes That Keep Little Feet Happy and Healthy?
A toddler’s feet go through rapid changes as they learn to walk, balance, and explore. In the early stages—usually around 9 to 12 months—their feet are soft, flat, and still developing muscle strength and arches. During this critical phase, the right footwear makes all the difference for healthy growth, stability, and comfort.
First Walkers designs and delivers supportive, orthopaedic shoes tailored for growing kids. Our range of sandals, sneakers, flats, and Mary Janes is made specifically for early walkers and loved by health professionals around the world.
Each pair is crafted to promote strong, natural foot development—so you can feel confident your child is stepping into shoes that do more than just fit.
If you're shopping elsewhere, use the guide below to ensure the shoes you choose support healthy movement and proper growth from the very first steps.
What to look for in a pair of toddler shoes?
- Lightweight – Early walkers need shoes that don’t weigh them down or affect balance.
- Toe Room – A flexible toe box allows natural movement for growing feet.
- Support & Fit – Mid-foot stability and heel cushioning help kids stay balanced and upright.
- Breathability – Materials like leather or mesh keep feet dry, reducing discomfort and odour.
- Grippy Soles – Non-slip rubber or thermoplastic soles help prevent falls during active play.
Avoid fashion-focused shoes with stiff soles, narrow toes, or soft uppers that compromise movement and stability. Whether buying online or in-store, prioritise orthotic-friendly, anatomical footwear to support your child’s healthy development.
