At Poco Nido we believe in head starts. We think shoes should help, not hinder, those first important steps.
When each experience is new, who needs shoes which fall off, or don’t move and flex like your own feet do? Walking, running and jumping are all major milestones and are achieved more quickly and confidently without shoes. So why stifle progress with thick inflexible soles when there’s an alternative.
It’s crucial kids grow up with healthy feet, free from foot pain, brimming with confidence and well connected to their surroundings. Good foot health for toddlers results in strong muscle development, better balance, and improved sensory feedback, all of which contribute to increased confidence levels and general well-being.
Barefoot is KING for foot health, but you can’t always let kids be barefoot due to environmental factors, so barefoot friendly shoes are the next best thing. Barefoot friendly soles are so much better for your child.
Poco Nido’s podiatrist approved, barely there Mini and Mighty shoes will take children through from 3 months to 3 years, offering the perfect combination of barefoot and shoe to nurture those first steps.
All Poco Nido barefoot friendly shoes come with:
A wide toe box to accommodate natural toe splay and free joint movement
Zero drop to ensure maximum connection to the ground
A slim flexible outsole, 6mm thickness or less, to feel natures contours
No arch support inside, to encourage immature foot muscles to do their job without artificial aid.
And thats pretty much it. We believe in this - we've got personal experience, so if we can prevent just a couple of kids from having pronation problems, dodgy ankles or fallen arches then it's all been worth it.
Best shoes for toddlers and best first shoes? Poco Nido Shoes are perfect for your baby - We've totally got this.
