Baby barefoot elasticated trainer in blue

The ICOPCV (Valencian Community, Spain) recommends these textile Biomecanics trainers for first steps with its Podologic seal. Their barefoot geometry keeps the heel and toe at the same height, with zero drop, and gives the baby's toes a wide toe box to spread out and grip the ground. The FOAMtech stabiliser sits outside the upper, with no rigid heel counter.

The elastic fastening gives as the foot goes in and tightens again over the top, so they fit the foot snugly and little ones can put them on without help. Inside, the lining and the insole are in breathable On Steam textile, which lets the vapour out and keeps the foot dry through the day; that insole is removable and comes out to dry separately. The lightweight, flexible sole allows bending and twisting over a non-slip tread.

Behind it is the Institute of Biomechanics of Valencia (IBV), a technology centre founded in 1976, and its work is reflected in footwear developed together with the IBV and designed to respect the natural growth of the foot, not to restrict movement and to be comfortable to wear for hours. Toxic-free: its materials contain no chromium or nickel.

Elastic

Take the insoles out to air them between wears and before cleaning. Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap and leave them to air-dry, away from sources of heat. Do not put them in the washing machine unless the product label says so: too much water can deform the materials and trap moisture.
