Choosing the Right Shoes for Little Feet
Little ones grow fast – and so do their feet! At Dimples, we know how important it is to choose the right shoes to support your child as they move through each stage of development. The right fit helps protect developing bones, encourages natural movement, and builds confidence as they explore the world around them.
Soft, flexible soles are key for babies and early walkers, helping their feet strengthen while still offering grip and protection. As your child becomes more active, shoes that offer structure, support, and durability become essential. A good pair of shoes should feel like a second skin – allowing little feet to move, flex, and grow without restriction.
That’s why we’re proud to offer a thoughtful range from Pretty Brave – designed in New Zealand with both comfort and development in mind, so you can feel confident your little one is supported every step of the way.
Everyday Styles from Pretty Brave
Pretty Brave are made with care, using soft, natural leathers that are gentle on tiny feet. Here are a few of our favourites you’ll love:
