Choosing Primigi Shoes



12-14 MONTHS. JUST ABOUT WALKING...


An important choice
Now more than ever, shoes must be chosen with great attention because they are indispensable in helping a toddler acquire confidence and self-assurance, when taking his first steps, and in order to assume a correct posture. A toddler sets out to explore the surrounding world on his own and a pair of suitable shoes may help him to do so.

Fundamental requirements
The ideal shoes at this age are the high-top models that give correct support to the child's ankles, without being too tight, unlike the low-cut models which might slip off easily when his little feet are still quite chubby. Another important feature is that his shoes must be extremely delicate when in contact with his sensitive skin, without of course losing their shape. And what about the soles? Wide and pliable at the toe and sturdier at the heel, in order to give him a good footing. With regards to materials, these should be natural and soft, such as leather, hide or fabric. No objection to the newer materials either, so long as they are soft and allow his little feet to breathe.

Buckles, laces or Velcro?
Velcro fastenings are fine, as well as making shoes easy to put on and take off. This will help your child to learn how to unfasten them very quickly! If he is very tiny it may be better to go for laces or buckles: these two methods offer a further advantage of a more precise fastening and therefore are particularly suitable for little feet that are still taking shape.

An idea
A soft "cushioning" will protect baby's Achilles' heel when he is crawling. PRIMIGI has created PRIMIGINO specially for this purpose.
