BabyPaws (also formerly known as PlatyPaws) soft soled leather shoes are chromium (VI)-free (chrome-free leather) and pass all known specifications for formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and glutaraldehyde, including those for baby clothes (the strictest). Not only did they pass the European Standard EN 71-3 but also the US ASTM Standard F 963, both very stringent tests and, both not required in the US.
Our baby shoes come in a large selection of adorable designs and colors.
The shoes are not mass-produced, but handmade in Australia from carefully selected soft leather and suede. Our shoes are easy to put on, fit very well and are hard for the child to remove.
Your child will enjoy wearing the finest quality shoes available!
Leading Pediatricians and Podiatrists recommend BabyPaws:Important pediatric studies conclude that children should walk bare-foot in order to allow their feet to develop naturally. When weather and conditions make bare-foot walking impractical, BabyPaws are the next best choice. They allow children to feel and grip the walking surface as nature intended for muscle development, while reducing falls, common in stiff heavy shoes.
If your child had a choice, that choice would be BabyPaws - “the soft-soled shoe”.
Children love wearing these shoes, because they allow them to walk and crawl without feeling constrained.
