THE PHASE OF CRAWLING

SHOWS
HOW TO
MANAGE
STIMULATION

Getting the child used to receiving simultaneous stimulation through touch, sight and sound.

DEVELOPS NEAR VISION

A key skill for subsequent skills such as reading and writing, directly involved in the child’s development.

INCREASES BREATHING CAPACITY

Essential in the first stages of speech and when learning to walk upright.

STABILITY IS KEY TO TAKING THE FIRST STEPS

Improves their balance and stability

thanks to a system of side stabilisers that focus on the centre of gravity.

Encourage the child to walk unaided.

It gives the child greater independence, "broadening his world".

It multiplies the child’s interaction with other people and the world around him.

Helps them move more easily and securely

thanks to its hyperflexible sole and perforated toecap.

"Suitable footwear contributes to the correct development of the foot and also makes baby feel more secure and confident about taking his first steps. A base that is wider at the heel facilitates balance"

Dr. Ernesto Such Paediatrician

"Baby’s foot has to slip into the shoe without difficulties. It is important not to put off changing sizes and always prioritise protection at the cap and heel, as well as breathability"

BIOMECANICS cooperates with the Spanish Association of Paediatrics, an institution dedicated to the health and life of children and adolescents. Founded in 1949, it brings together some 9000 professionals who share knowledge and interests on a regular basis.

Our cooperation with the AEP is our best source of inspiration and information: driving us in the innovative development of each new model.

Founded in 1976, the Biomechanics Institute of Valencia (IBV) is a technology facility engaged in the study of the behaviour of the human body and its relationship to the products, settings and services used by people. To achieve this the IBV combines knowledge from biomechanics such as ergonomics and emotional engineering.

The application of this knowledge to various settings pursues an objective that BIOMECANICS shares with IBV: the wellbeing of people. That is why we are so proud that they endorse each and every property of our models.

Biomecanics has the compromise of innovation in the children's footwear field, through the last resources in technology in order to respect the correct evolution of the growth of the kids feet, offering the maximum liberty, security and confidence along the different stages of their development.
