I walk with support

Your baby’s first shoes mark a special milestone. They’re not just an adorable part of the outfit – they play an important role in giving tiny feet a healthy start.

At Anna Pops we know that every step matters. That’s why we choose baby shoes that move in tune with your child’s rhythm – from crawling and climbing to those precious first steps. Every pair is selected with comfort, safety and style in mind, so your baby can learn to walk with ease and confidence.

From bare feet to the first shoes

In the early months, a baby doesn’t really need shoes. Bare feet or soft socks give them the freedom to kick, stretch and discover their toes.

When it’s too cold outside or the ground isn’t suitable for bare feet, lightweight, flexible booties are a great alternative. They keep little feet warm and protected without restricting natural movement. Once your child begins pulling themselves up and trying their first steps, it’s time to consider their first real pair of baby shoes – soft and flexible, offering gentle support while still feeling light, so your child can practise and explore freely.

Good baby shoes have a flexible sole

A baby’s feet grow quickly and change shape often. These first years are the foundation for healthy posture and movement. That’s why it’s important to choose baby shoes that provide the right support without restricting movement.

At Anna Pops we look for a fit that hugs the foot comfortably yet leaves enough room for the toes to move. The sole should be flexible, allowing the foot to roll naturally with each step. Soft, breathable leather or other high-quality materials help keep feet dry and at the right temperature, indoors and out.

A well-chosen baby shoe prevents pressure points, offers stability for those first steps and supports the ankle without pinching. This gives your child the freedom to build confidence step by step, while you know their feet are well protected.

Cosy booties and pre-walkers for little ones

For babies who aren’t walking yet, it’s all about warmth, protection and freedom of movement. Soft booties wrap the foot without squeezing and are ideal in the pushchair, during nap time or while sitting on your lap. They protect against the cold and little knocks while allowing feet to move freely.

When your child starts pulling themselves up or cruising along the furniture, it’s time for pre-walkers. These first walking shoes bridge the gap between crawling and walking. They have a soft, flexible sole for grip on smooth floors, are lightweight and shaped to follow the natural movement of the foot. This way your child gets support where it’s needed and freedom where it’s possible.

At Anna Pops you’ll find booties and pre-walkers in a variety of styles, colours and materials. Every design is chosen to look beautiful and provide the best comfort during these important first stages.

The first steps in the right shoes

Once your child starts walking on their own, it’s time for their first real shoes. At this stage they need more support for balance, yet the shoes should still be light and flexible so the foot can move naturally.

At Anna Pops we choose models with flexible soles for grip, secure fastenings that stay in place, and a fit that holds the foot gently. Breathable leather or other premium materials keep feet dry and comfortable whatever the adventure.

We make sure the heel is firm for stability, and the toe has enough space to allow natural movement. This way your child can step, run and turn with confidence. The right first shoes set the foundation for healthy feet, from those first steps to many adventures ahead.

Baby shoes for boys and girls in every style

Whether you prefer soft, neutral tones or playful colours, at Anna Pops you’ll find baby shoes to match every personality. Timeless designs suit classic tastes, while brighter shades and fun prints add a cheerful twist to any outfit.

The range includes shoes that work just as well with everyday wear as they do for special occasions. Every pair is made to handle active play and keep looking good, even after many little adventures.

How to choose the right size for baby shoes

Getting the right fit is key for healthy foot development. Shoes that are too small can restrict growth, while those that are too big offer less support and can make walking harder. Measuring feet regularly is essential, especially in the early years when growth is rapid.

If you’re unsure about sizing, visit us in-store. At Anna Pops we measure carefully and check how the shoe fits, making sure there’s enough space for the toes, a secure fit at the heel, and flexibility for the foot’s natural movement. This way you know your baby is wearing shoes that are not only lovely to look at, but also support healthy development.
