Most
baby experts agree that infant/toddler footwear should
not be restricting. The soles should be flat, non-slip,
and flexible. Babies actually have stronger ankles and
do not require stiff shoes as was once believed. The main
purpose for shoes is to be a foot covering and protect
their feet from cold, heat, dirt, and hard objects.
Wiggee's shoes are made of soft durable, breathable leather
of exceptional quality. The color dyes are safe, non-toxic,
and environmentally friendly. Our linings are 100% cotton
terry cloth to help absorb perspiration because babies
feet can perspire twice that of an adult. They are cut
generously so as not to restrict movement. This allows
the toes to extend and wiggle. They are designed to be
easy to slip on, yet hard for babies to slip off. There
are no laces to untie or trip over.
Each and every baby is different and our sizing reflects
those differences. Our small fits infant sizes 1-2 1/2
or about 0-6 months old. Our medium fits infant sizes
2 1/2-4 or 6-12 months old. They have a soft suede sole.
Our large fits toddler sizes 4-5 1/2 or 12-18 months old,
and our X-large fits toddler sizes 5 1/2-7 or about 18-24
months. The large and X-large are the same shoe with the
added feature of a thin and flexible rubber outsole.
This safety feature is a real PLUS! When your toddler
begins to walk, run, and play, the suede sole can wear
down to a shiny finish creating a slippery surface which
could be potentially dangerous in the home. Wiggee's added
rubber outsole is safer because it provides better traction
yet still allows the foot to move freely without restrictions.
The rubber outsole is suitable for indoor and outdoor
use.
