Kids Shoes UK: why you should turn to BOBUX
If you have children between the age of 1 week old and 8 years old, you’ve come to the right place! We have partnered with children’s footwear specialist Bobux to offer you the best quality of shoes for your child, depending on their stage.
According to the expert podiatrists at Bobux, children’s feet go through five crucial stages of development. Through each stage, their little, growing feet must be protected by the best quality of footwear that will support them properly. It is so important for children to have the right shoes as their feet grow, so that they can grow healthily and minimise the risk of developing problems later in life.
Why Bobux?
The hugely trusted children’s footwear retailer is in its third decade of business, having been shoe makers at the head of children’s fashion and shoe-technology since their foundation in New Zealand in 1991. The founder, father of two, Chris Bennett, was responsible for creating the first ever soft-soled shoe for children!
Bobux takes great pride in their brand history as a shoemaker for children, and as a result, they continuously produce the highest quality footwear and push the boundaries in foot technology for kids.
Plus, how cute are these little shoes for babies? You can buy them here! These are just one of the many pairs of incredible quality, fun and adorable soles that Bobux offers.

All about Your Child’s Growing Feet

So, lets break down the five stages that children’s feet go through from birth until around 8 years old, to help you choose the right shoes for them.
Which of the Five Stages Describes Your Little One?
-
SOFT SOLE
0-12 months: Crawler/Baby – hasn’t yet tried to stand up, explores on all fours! Your baby will need soft-soled shoes at this stage. Unfortunately, we are all out of stock in these popular baby shoes currently. But you can find these on the Bobux website here, for example with this adorable pup design! Perfect for baby’s first shoes.
9 months-2 years: Infant almost walking – not quite toddling or walking up-right, but on their way to moving around independently! Here, the shoes must be more flexible, but also offer more protection for when the feet are scuffed on the ground with movement. We have several options in the XPLORER range, but our favourites are this gold shoe, and this yellow sporty looking sole for the little aspiring sportspeople!
9 months-2 years: First walker – how exciting, you’re baby is learning to walk independently! They will need shoes that will support them as they begin to traverse the world on two feet. These shoes are again more robust, but still flexible to allow space for the new traveler’s feet to grow! We have the biggest range for this stage! We love this baby blue option and this pink jodhpur boot and brown jodhpur boot for new walkers.
2-4 years: Toddler shoes – Now your little one is an adventure-seeker! This requires some tougher soles, although their little feet are still not yet fully developed and shaped. We have a huge range of Bobux Alley-Oop in different colours and styles, such as this blue number and this tan boot!
5. KID+
4-8 years: Pre-schoolers – Time flies, your little one is about to start nursery or school, and Bobux knows that children’s feet don’t stop developing until their late teens! This is why these shoes are so important for children’s developing feet. We have a collection of this Bobux footwear for Kids available. You can’t go wrong with this white trainer, or these smart pearl shoes.
No matter what stage your child’s feet are in, you can trust that Bobux knows their stuff, with a team of professional podiatrists behind their technology and a backing by parents everywhere!
