Fur-Lined Baby Shoes for First Steps
Patented technology Pom d'Api
The Anti-Twist© Process
A sole featuring a heel shank. This reinforcement prevents any risk of twisting in the ankle and instep. This targeted support allows the front of the shoe to be very flexible, while providing slight support at the back. This model supports the natural movement with every step.

Our lined baby shoes support your child's first steps in cold weather, in sizes 18 through 25. Their fabric lining retains heat, while the sole remains flexible enough to let the foot feel the ground and find its balance.
Two Approaches to Walking
Barefoot-style shoes give the foot as much freedom as possible: a wide toe box so the toes can spread, a 1 mm heel-to-toe drop, a 3.2 mm sole, and a heel without a rigid counter. Discover our barefoot first-step shoes.
Supportive models feature the Anti-Twist system, patented by Pom d'Api : a heel counter helps limit ankle twisting while children are learning to walk. Discover our supportive first-step shoes.

Your Questions
Can a baby who is just starting to walk wear lined shoes?
Yes, as long as the lining doesn't make the shoe heavier or stiffen the sole. This is the case with our lined first-step shoes: the warmth comes from the lining, while the sole remains flexible.
Can a barefoot shoe keep your feet warm?
Yes. The fabric lining insulates the foot from the cold without adding bulk to the sole, which remains 3.2 mm thick and bends in every direction.
How do you check the shoe size using the lining?
Measure your child's foot while they are standing, at the end of the day, wearing the socks they'll be wearing this winter. Detailed instructions are available on our " Measuring Your Child's Foot" page.
