At Dotty Fish we are very passionate about our shoes. Your child’s foot health and early development is really important to us so, we wanted to ensure that not only do our shoes look good but that they are also the perfect choice for babies taking those first crucial steps through to being an active toddler.
This is why back in March 2018 we teamed up with The London Podiatry Centre to test the benefits that our soft soled leather shoes have for your little one’s feet, especially in those early years.
Working with The London Podiatry Centre we looked at the science behind our philosophy and conducted podiatry testing on our shoes to see if they measured up. The results were overwhelmingly positive and reinforced what we already knew to be true the benefits. We can proudly say that our shoes are podiatry tested and approved – a real badge of honour for us.
A less structured shoe has lots of benefits, especially for growing feet and it was fantastic to see the science confirm this. Some of the benefits of Dotty Fish soft sole shoes are:
As parents you want to have the security in knowing that the shoes you choose for your little ones growing feet are the best for their early development. Deciding which size shoe to buy can be tricky. Babies don’t come in one size and they grow and develop at very different rates.
At Dotty Fish this is at the heart of what we do, ensuring we create shoes perfect for little feet to grow and develop naturally. The best way to get the right fit is to measure your little one’s foot which is not as difficult as you may think and we have just launched our printable size guide to help you. So grab a pencil and print out our guide and get measuring.
