Baby Steps, Big Adventures:
The Shooshoos Philosophy
We are commited to providing our customers with the best shoes for baby and toddler's feet, so we use the highest quality materials available, and offer a wide range of handcrafted designs for boys and girls.
THIS IS OUR STORY
Big adventures start with a baby step.
This is our story.
Shooshoos™ are not just shoes. They’re custodians of first memories, protectors of knees and toes, liberators and fun-enablers, and they are there at every stage of one of the greatest adventures your little one will know: childhood.
For us, baby shoes need to be equal parts functional and magical. They need to protect growing bodies so as to encourage curious minds, which is exactly what children need to explore, imagine and discover the world.
Shooshoos is built on the ideas of adventure, support, quality, play fun and design excellence, and we have worked tirelessly since 1996 to bring the finest handcrafted leather shoes to fearless children and not-so-fearless parents around the globe.
We couldn’t be prouder of where we’re from and couldn’t be luckier to work where we work. We’re also grateful to have an advanced shipping system that let's us ship to two international locations and all 50 U.S states (but more on that here).

From Cape Town, With Love
Our own adventure began 7 million pairs ago* where all darling adventures start: In Africa
Since 1996, all our shoes have been designed in Cape Town, South Africa, where we employ some of the finest shoemakers in the country. The result? A range of top quality leahter shoes time and time again.
Keeping Baby Feet Happy and Healthy
Few people know that a growing baby's feet are made mostly of cartilage(yes, like your nose and ears!) so it's important for the soles of their shoes to be soft, flexible and accommodating to feet that are on a mission to grow big and strong.
Another thing first-time parents learn very quickly is that, well, baby feet sweat. A lot. Every pair of Shooshoos is designed with a supple sole and eco-friendly breathable leather to keep your little one's feet safe, dry and comfortable.
