Production Technology

The upper made from W-natural fiber is gentle on the skin and offers optimal elasticity to fit the delicate feet of little ones. The wide, soft Velcro strap enhances comfort for their tender feet, and makes the shoes easier to put on and take off. The upper and outsole are expertly stitched, avoiding any hazards from chemical adhesives and formaldehyde. The use of sustainable materials like natural fibers and environmentally friendly rubber pioneers a low-carbon fashion for infants and toddlers.

Design Challenge

The key challenge was aiding little ones in the vital transition from crawling to walking. For this end, the sole utilizes a bionic design inspired by sheep hooves, featuring bidirectional grips to secure a robust ground grip and stabilize steps. This feature enhances safety on various ground conditions. Moreover, the specialized arch, located at the curved juncture between the balls of small and big toes, minimizes constraints on natural toe flexion, offering a sensation akin to being barefoot.

Project Duration

The design and development of the shoes started in January 2023, in Shenzhen. It was introduced to the Chinese market in in January 2024.

Operation Flow

The outsole, with a bionic design inspired by sheep hooves, features bidirectional grips to stabilize steps and enhance walking balance. The fully wrapped toe cap effectively mitigates collisions, and the critical areas like the heel and arch have been expertly reinforced to provide extra support. Additionally, the wormwood insole, with massage points, offers lasting antibacterial effects and promotes blood circulation, championing holistic foot health of little ones.

Research

The crawling stage is vital for brain and muscular coordination of little ones. Yet, numerous footwear options, with thick outsoles or monotonous patterns, inhibit proper foot exercise. To solve this issue, this pair of shoes has been revolutionized with a bionic design at the outsole, tailored for the growth needs of this age group. And the specialized arch, at the curved juncture between the balls of big and small toes, improves toe flexibility and strength, fostering healthy gait development.

Inspiration

This pair of shoes is designed with the ergonomic and developmental needs of infants and toddlers in mind. The outsole, bionically inspired by sheep hooves, features bidirectional grips to assist in force application during crawling. This ensures a robust ground grip and stable steps, enhancing comfort for both crawling and walking. Furthermore, this pair of shoes is dominated by an elegant, pastel color palette, creating a harmonious and soothing visual effect to foster a sense of security.
