We're passionate (and maybe a little bit obsessed :P ) with helping little ones put their best foot forward. So this International Women's Day we couldn't pass up a chance celebrate a few of the clever women in the Bobux team and find out what this year's theme of #BreakTheBias means to them, which women inspire them and what words of wisdom they’d offer to the next generation... and of course, the wonderful people raising them.

So many questions come to mind when purchasing your little one’s shoes for preschool. Should I be investing in the most expensive brand? Do I opt for hook and loop, buckles or laces? Do the cheaper brands offer enough support? When kids are active and running around at preschool, you want to ensure that their feet are comfortable and supported all day. Preschool can be demanding on little feet, which need protection and tailored support to avoid injuries. 

Parenthood is one of the most challenging, magical, exasperating and rewarding adventures any of us can undertake. Most parents experience laughs, frustrations, spilled cornflakes, cuddles and grazed knees, but everyone travels a different path on their child’s wild and wonderful journey and we all have varied and vivid stories of heart-burstingly beautiful times, moments when we just want to use the bathroom in peace, and all the everyday bits in between.

It's the festive time of the year and if you are tired of accumulating plastic junk and excess packaging as a result of kids' stocking stuffers and gifts, consider a sustainable and useful option instead.

It’s the time of year when memories are made and family traditions are created. To get you in the festive spirit and add a sense of adventure to the occasion, we’ve gathered a few ideas you might like to try with your little ones…

To celebrate Mothers Day, we talked to some of our beloved Bobux community. Aeronwy, Madie and Annaliese about what they have planned and why the day is special to them. We also checked in with their littlies on what makes their mum a mother like no other!

Getting kids into the garden is a wonderful way to teach them about nature and where their food comes from. Here's a guide from our friends at Tui Garden, plus some fun activities to get your little ones inspired in the garden!

Back in the early 1990s, Bobux Founders Chris and Colleen Bennett were searching for shoes for their baby daughter Chloe. Unable to find the very best for their little girl, Chris took to the garage and created the world’s first pair of Soft Soles. Today Chloe has two babies of her own, and Bobux is a household name around the world! We caught up with the three Bennett kids Chloe, Hannah and Sam to hear what it was like growing up in the world of Bobux, and where Bobux has taken them on the 30 year journey to now.

Becoming a family looks different for everyone. Whether you’re a surrogate, an IVF mum, two dads/mums, a single parent; celebrating the beginning of a new life is such an exciting part of the journey. Read along as guest blogger Laura O'Riley shares with us her top tips on celebrating by hosting a baby shower!
