The upper and outsole are expertly stitched, avoiding any hazards from chemical adhesives and formaldehyde.

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.

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.
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.
