Early walker and toddler shoes are adorable! Ensure that your child has shoes that give their little feet plenty of room to spread out, and have a thin sole so they can feel the ground as they move. When kids can feel the ground they walk on, the are happier to wear shoes and stomp around less. The Gobi Sneaker is made from chrome free leather and has rubber soles for grip, they are built to last and pass on to the next child! For the parents, Velcro straps and a freely moving tongue to make putting shoes on little feet that much easier.
