The Importance of First Walker Footwear

A child ’ s foot is very different than an adult ’ s foot . When a child begins walking , they need a shoe specifically designed for them — a shoe built to promote healthy foot development and walking skills .
0-4 Years Old
Fat pads protect cartilage as bones begin to fuse .
5 + Years Old
Cartilage turns to bone and the arch begins to appear .
The foot hasn ’ t yet fully developed when a child starts to walk . Fat pads protect soft cartilage in young feet and the bones are just starting to fuse . The foot is highly malleable , but as the foot grows and bones begin to harden , the fat pads begin to disappear . These early stages of foot development are important , as the foot needs to form naturally without any restrictions ( like ill-fitting footwear ).
For over 20 years , See Kai Run has studied children ’ s feet and has carefully considered every detail that goes into a child ’ s shoe .
All See Kai Run shoes are proportionally engineered for growing feet .
Super flexible & lightweight
In First Walkers , this means having a broad toe box so the big toe can wiggle , which builds tendon and muscle strength , which in-turn , helps cultivate balance , gait , and stride . All See Kai Run First Walker shoes are lightweight and flexible , which encourages feet to grow
naturally . A durable toe cap and a flexible outsole made to grip , are all important in supporting healthy foot formation .
