Podiatrist Approved Baby, Toddler & Kids Shoes
Bobux shoes have been reviewed and approved by industry leading podiatrists, and have been specially designed for healthy growing feet. If you want to find out more about healthy foot development check out our Ultimate Guide to Kids Foot Health.
Just like with our own adult shoes, children’s shoes need to be comfortable and protect their feet. Our design philosophy starts with a deep understanding of what comfort means. Each one of our shoes is designed to the shape of children’s feet, with materials that are flexible to allow them to move and grow.
After almost 30 years of making the world’s best kid’s shoes, we’ve found there are five key elements that make a shoe comfortable: Flexibility, Adjustability, Breathability, Weight and Fit. That’s why our shoes are shaped like children’s feet, why they use flexible, breathable leathers and knits that are lightweight, and why they use fastening that makes them easy to wear and easy to adjust. Shoes also need to be durable to stand up to the crazy things our kids put them through and continue to protect their feet.
Stage, not age, is a mantra in our business and what it means is that we design for the stages of development a child goes through, to guide them on their journey, whether it’s our Soft Sole for babies who crawl, Step Up shoes that guide your child’s early steps or the Kid+ soles for jumping, skipping, kicking and climbing. Our shoes are designed to protect and guide your child, whatever stage they are at.
We’re constantly looking at ways we can improve on those criteria, constantly learning, and constantly developing throughout our range to keep making shoes that your kids love. Designed for freedom, from the sole up.
Hear From The Experts - Podiatrist Reviews on Bobux Shoes
In everything we do, Bobux works closely with some of the world’s leading podiatrists and foot health experts. Here’s what they have to say.

Bobux is where beautiful design meets perfect function - that's very rare in the footwear industry. At JD Podiatry we take a special interest in kids feet. Kids feet are not just a scaled down version of adults feet, they are much more precious. Nurturing the growth and constant changes can be difficult in a concrete world, but with the flexibility, protection and freedom of a Bobux shoe on, it's as close as we can get to mimicking bare foot function which is essential for development. The biggest compliment we can pay is that our podiatrists put their kids in Bobux.

As a podiatrist and a mother, I know how important it is to have the right footwear for children’s feet. Bobux shoes are developed to support the natural foot strengthening that occurs during early walking. They are the perfect mix of innovation, design, comfort and style for growing little feet.

As a Podiatrist, Bobux is always my first recommendation when discussing footwear and development in children. I love that the these shoes are as cute as a button but are backed by science - bobux gives me piece of mind that my patients feet are developing naturally and forming a strong foundation to carry them for life without manipulating shape and position

Being a Podiatrist I have always been super particular on recommending shoes for children. It is so important for children’s shoes to be made with good quality products, to fit well, to take into consideration different developmental stages and to look good at the same time and Bobux does all of this! I have complete confidence in recommending Bobux shoes to all my patients and as a brand new Mum I look forward to putting Bobux shoes on my little girl knowing they are the best for her feet through all her growing stages. Thankyou to Bobux for making such wonderful Podiatry endorsed and mum friendly shoes!
