    Choosing your baby’s first walker shoes can feel overwhelming — with so many options and opinions out there, how do you know what’s actually best for growing feet? We sat down with paediatrician and father-of-three Dr Daniel Golshevsky (Dr Golly) to cut through the noise and share practical, expert-backed advice. From when babies truly need shoes, to what features support healthy development (and which styles to avoid), here’s what parents should know before buying their little one’s first pair.

    “My daughter has been wearing SOHLS for years now and absolutely loves them! As both a mum and a podiatrist, I’m a big believer in allowing children to be barefoot as much as possible to support their natural foot development as they grow. SOHLS are designed to mimic that barefoot feeling, while still providing the protection little feet need. I recommend them for their easy-on design, wide toe box, super-flexible sole, removable insoles and range of styles to suit every little one.”

    "As a mum on the Gold Coast, I want shoes that are easy to get on and off and easy to wash. As a paediatric physio, my checklist runs a little deeper. I'm looking at flexibility through the sole, a wide toe box, a firm supportive heel and a flat, protective base. When I came across Little SOHLS, it was nice to find a shoe that works for both sides of me, practical enough for everyday mum life by the beach and considered enough to meet my physio standards."

    "As a paediatric OT, my passion is to ensure children are able to participate in their daily activities in way that is functional and promotes healthy development. Little SOHLS tick all these boxes through supporting healthy foot development in their wide-toe and lightweight design!"

    We believe the best thing a shoe can do for growing feet is let them move as naturally as possible. Our sohls® are thin, lightweight and seriously flexible, allowing little feet to bend, flex and move without unnecessary restriction.

  • Healthy development

    A wide, foot-shaped design gives little toes the space they need to spread naturally, while keeping the shoe light and comfortable underfoot.

  • Machine washable

    Cute and practical! Simply throw your pair of sohls® shoes straight in the washing machine at the end of the day for them to come out looking brand new again!

  • Free Shipping

    Free standard shipping for all AUS and NZ orders over $120

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Which style is best for a first walker?

Our Velcro style is a popular choice for first walkers because it opens wide and can be adjusted for a secure fit. It’s especially helpful for narrower feet or little ones still finding their balance.

Our Slip-On style is wonderfully fuss-free and often suits wider feet or higher insteps.
How much growing room should I allow?

For first walkers, we recommend allowing approximately 0.7–1.5 cm of growing room. Too much extra space can make shoes harder to walk in, so it’s best not to size up excessively.
DO THE DIFFERENT STYLES FIT THE SAME?

They are built around the same sizing system, but the fit can feel slightly different because of how each upper holds the foot. Always measure your child’s foot and check the individual product sizing guide before ordering.
WHAT makes sohls® different to regular toddler shoes?

sohls® are created specifically around the way little feet grow and move. Every detail – from the roomy toe box and flexible outsole to the lightweight, breathable upper – is designed to make everyday movement feel more natural and comfortable.
How do I measure my child's feet?

Have your child stand with their full weight evenly distributed on a piece of paper, mark from the back of their heel to the tip of the longest toe. Measure both feet and use the longer measurement when choosing a size. You can also use our downloadable size guide found here .
What is your return policy?

Eligible unworn items can be returned within 30 days of the order date. Products must be unworn, unwashed and returned with their original packaging and tags attached. You can see our full returns policy here .
