A Baby’s Foot At Birth

A baby's foot at birth is not a miniature
version of an adult foot. In fact, it contains no bones at all and consists of a mass of cartilage, which, over time ossifies to become 28 bones that exist in the adult human foot. This process is not achieved until the late teens, so it is crucial that any footwear for you baby or toddler - when worn is chosen well.


Walkabout Baby are not your typical hard or rigid traditional shoes. They are flat, flexible soft-sole shoes that are designed specifically to mimic barefoot walking. They are designed for comfort and promote healthy foot muscle development. With each pair expertly sewn by hand, walkabout baby are classic shoes that will never go out of style.
