The name ‘prewalkers’ is actually a little misleading. Of course, a child doesn't learn to walk because of shoes, but because this is a very important developmental step. But with the right shoes, we can give our children the best possible support. The little ones take their first steps without shoes, and we have no intention of interfering with the perception that takes place in the soles of their feet! That's why there is no arch support in Affenzahn children's shoes, because this would change the gait. In our prewalkers, the child's foot can roll over the ball of the foot and wiggle its toes just like when walking barefoot. To ensure that the surface can still be felt, the prewalkers have a natural shape and a minimal sole. This makes it feel like walking barefoot, but with optimum protection. Perhaps the name ‘prewalker buddies’ would be more appropriate...
The first steps in life are exciting for babies and parents alike. Prewalkers are an important investment to make walking easier for little ones and to protect their feet. Especially in summer, comfortable walking shoes are essential for babies to protect their delicate feet from hot sand and rough surfaces.
Our prewalkers for boys and girls are available in many different designs and colours. It is particularly important that our prewalkers are made from breathable materials to prevent overheating and perspiration.
Yes, prewalkers that are also barefoot shoes can be very useful. They combine the advantages of both types of shoes: They provide protection for your child's feet while supporting natural foot development and a feel for the ground. These shoes promote the development of healthy foot muscles and a natural gait, which is particularly important when children are learning to walk.
