Affenzahn’s first pair of shoes, the Prewalker Midboot Vegan Snuggy, are lightweight and flexible barefoot shoes for children learning to walk. These warm-lined and water-resistant children’s winter shoes keep little feet warm. The shoes feature animal-themed fabric labels on the back, making it easy for children to put the shoes on the correct feet.
For normal development, a child’s foot needs the freedom to move naturally. When a shoe does not force the foot into a specific position or restrict its range of motion, it allows the foot’s small muscles to move freely. The natural shape of Affenzahn footwear also provides ample space for all the toes.
Walking in barefoot shoes improves balance, strengthens the muscles of the feet and can prevent foot misalignments at an early stage. Walking on varied terrain, such as tarmac, in the woods and on sand, stimulates the foot.
The flexible sole of Affenzahn shoes is as thin as possible: healthy feet do not need extra cushioning. The shoes have no raised heel, which allows the foot to maintain its natural position. The sole pattern is designed to provide sufficient grip on slippery surfaces.
