The Design
About Tiny Steps Flex Sko for spedbarn og småbarn
Tiny Steps Flex er et par sko designet for spedbarn og småbarn som er på vei fra krabbing til gange. Utersålen bruker toveis grep inspirert av saueklover for å forbedre grepet og stabiliteten mot underlaget. En spesialtilpasset bue mellom tåballene til stortåen og lilletåen gir naturlig tåfleksjon. Overdelen er laget av naturfiber og er lett og elastisk for fri fotbevegelse. En bred, myk stropp gjør skoene enkle å ta på og av. Overdelen og utersålen er sydd sammen, slik at kjemiske limstoffer unngås. En innleggssåle av malurt med massasjepunkter gir antibakteriell komfort.

- Design Challenge

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.

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
