Shoes, slippers, and socks for children

Good and smart shoes for children and babies

Even though the little baby is not going anywhere, it can be a good idea to have a pair of shoes for the baby anyway. The little baby cannot regulate its body temperature on its own, so it is important to help it with that. This can be done, for example, with a pair of nice booties, which actually mostly resemble a pair of socks.

The smart thing about the booties, however, is that they can usually be tied or fastened around the baby's little ankle. Babies have the superpower of being able to kick off socks and booties faster than you can put them back on. Therefore, it is smart to be able to fasten the booties so that they are not easily kicked off.

When babies become toddlers and start learning to walk around, it requires a different kind of shoes. It is a good idea to give the child slippers with a soft sole indoors, so that the child does not slip on the smooth floor when running around and playing.

When the child goes outdoors, they need good shoes that are suitable for the season. It is important that the footwear fits securely on the child's foot without squeezing, of course. This way, you reduce the risk of the child tripping over their own shoes.

How to find the right baby and children's shoes

When you need to find shoes for your baby or child, it is not always as straightforward as it may seem. Especially when buying shoes online, where the child cannot try on the shoe. Therefore, here is a guide on how to find the best shoes for your child when you cannot try them on.

Measure the child's feet

What is most important when buying shoes is, of course, the size. You need to determine the size of your child's foot. You can do this by measuring the child's foot while they are standing up. For a detailed guide on exactly how to do this, you can refer to our size guide, which you can find under each product. There you will find a table that tells you what size shoe your child should have.

Remember that it is not only the length of the foot that is important when buying shoes for your child. The width and height of the foot are also relevant. If your child has a very high or narrow foot, there are some types of shoes that fit better than others. Look closely at the pictures of the product, as you can usually see if it is a good fit for your child's foot or not.

The shoe should neither be too big nor too small. There should be a growth allowance of about 1-1.5 cm, and if it becomes too big, the shoe will be too big for the child, who then risks tripping over their own shoes because they are too long. The shoe should also not be too loose on the foot, but should be securely fastened without being too tight. Remember to take this into account if there needs to be room for an extra sock in the winter boots.

What material do you want?

We have footwear for children for all kinds of weather. Therefore, we also have shoes in many different materials. Including leather, wool, rubber, and vegan leather. What they have in common is that they are free of harmful substances and produced with a focus on the environment.

When choosing shoes for your child or baby, you need to decide what material you are looking for. Some of it is self-explanatory. If you are looking for winter shoes, they should be shoes that can withstand the Danish winter weather. Leather shoes or boots are good for that. And the same goes if you are looking for slippers, they should be able to keep the feet warm. Wool is excellent for that. Many of our shoes and boots actually have wool lining to keep the feet warm in the winter cold.

Depending on the season, you should consider which shoes are best suited. At Naturebaby.dk, we also carry sandals for both boys and girls. For older children, where the toe is open, and for younger children, where the sandal is slightly more closed to protect their little feet.

We also have rubber boots, winter boots, autumn shoes, and transitional shoes for children, all made of exquisite quality and materials, so they can withstand being used by small children who do not think about taking care of their footwear.

Price of shoes for children and babies

When buying shoes for children, you may be surprised that they usually cost the same as shoes for adults. But there is a reason for that. Just because the shoes are smaller, they have gone through the same production processes as adult shoes. Often, it is actually more complicated to make children's shoes because they are so small that it can be difficult to work on them. Therefore, the price is as it is, and it is usually worth it.
