Booties, slippers + first shoes: what fits when
For newborns and young babies, knitted merino wool booties are ideal: they warm gently without restricting the free movement of the toes. As soon as your child crawls and pulls themselves up, soft leather booties with a non-slip sole give grip while staying flexible like a second skin – just right for natural foot development.
Size tip for little feet
There should be about a thumb's width of space at the front so the toes can play freely. Children's feet grow in spurts, so it's worth checking the fit every few months, especially with daily-worn slippers.
For bigger children, you'll find sturdy styles in our Shoes category, with matching socks to go with them.
Whether as part of the newborn kit or as a gift: booties from Littlies + mums keep little feet warm and accompany the first big steps – soft, beautiful and lovingly selected.
