How is it that Christmas gets earlier and earlier each year? Our houses are still filled with pumpkins and we haven’t even had fireworks yet, but we are already getting Christmas in the shops. Lots of people have started their Christmas shopping while the rest of us are feeling the pressure! This blog is here to help – let’s put things in perspective and give you some early Christmas inspiration. And yes it is EARLY!!!!

Autumn is such a lovely time of year. This blog is all about the lovely family walks, the baking and the crafts that make it just magical.

The summer has been lovely but as September rolls around it is time to start thinking about Autumn and shorter, chillier days. As much as we love the summer we are very excited about Autumn because of the new range of moccasins that we are launching. Perfect for this time of year and in such gorgeous colours that complement the seasons warm earthy colour palette.

We are very proud of our shoes at Dotty Fish and our core philosophy is to provide quality baby shoes that are good for little feet and also affordable. All our shoes are made using quality leather but with lots of different terms out there we thought we would explain a little bit about the leather we use and what sets it apart!

At Dotty Fish we love little feet… not only because they fit perfectly into our soft leather shoes but because they are so darn cute! When we worked with the London Podiatry Centre testing out our shoes we discovered the importance of children getting tactile sensations on their feet. What better way than to get crafty with little feet?

At Dotty Fish we are constantly trying to ensure we provide the best possible soft leather baby shoes for babies and toddlers. They need to do good but also look good. We have been hard at work designing some new summer shoes perfect for the warm (hopefully) summer months. We hope you love them as much as we do!

At Dotty Fish we have put together an essential guide to surviving the summer sun safely. Some of the advice and products have been real life savers for us with our own children and some are new innovative ones that we wish we had when ours were small.

How do you look after little feet as they grow and develop? What is normal development and what do babies and young children need when it comes to footwear? This blog looks at why barefoot is best and how parents can help children’s foot development and health in those early years.

At Dotty Fish we have teamed up with The London Podiatry Centre to test soft soled baby and toddler shoes. The results have been overwhelmingly positive and it has been fascinating to see Dotty Fish soft sole leather baby shoes tested using the sophisticated 8-camera Vicon system at this specialist clinic.

Spring is here although the first day of spring featured a lot of snow for most of the UK! Our adorable Percy Penguin shoes loved playing out in the snow, although we are all looking forward to some spring colours and warmer weather. This blog talks all about our spring range and gives you some lovely colour inspiration for little ones wardrobes.
