Stand-up, the first-steps shoe from Pom d'Api

At the house of Pom d'Api We know how precious your child's first steps are. That's why we designed the Stand-Up line, in partnership with podiatrists. This line is specially adapted to the needs of toddlers learning to walk. 

Why Choose Stand-Up for Your First Steps?

When a child begins to walk on their own, Stand-Up helps them walk safely by providing targeted support at the heel and flexibility at the front of the foot. A line designed in partnership with podiatrists.

Anti-twist© system

The soles of our Stand-up model incorporate a shank. Located at the heel, this reinforcement prevents any risk of ankle and instep twisting thanks to an Anti-twist© system. A unique system, patented by Pom d'Api.  

This localized support allows the front of the sole to be very flexible and promotes healthy foot development in children. This makes the Stand-Up boot the ideal first-steps shoe for this important milestone.

For which stage of walking should I choose Stand-Up?

Stand-Up supports your child from the pre-walking stage through their first steps. 

Early Walking: As the name suggests, Stand-Up is designed for the stage when a child begins to stand up. The child finds their footing, stands up, and moves around while holding onto something. The heel counter stabilizes the foot during these first, still-unsteady attempts at standing. 

First Steps: When a child starts walking on their own, every step requires balance. The Anti-twist© system limits ankle twisting, and the flexible forefoot of the sole allows the foot to roll forward naturally. This helps the child gain confidence at their own pace.
