Tiny Steps Flex es un parelh de sabatas concebudas per nadons e enfants pichons que passan de la caminada a quatre pautas a la marcha dreita. La sòla exteriora utiliza de gafas bidireccionalas inspiradas dels ongles de mòuton per melhorar l'adheréncia al sòl e l'estabilitat. Un arc especializat entre los balons del gròs artelh e dels pichons artelhs permet una flexion naturala dels artelhs. La tija es fabricada en fibra naturala e es leugièra e elastica per un movement liure del pè. Una braga larga e mòla fa que las sabatas sián faciles de metre e de levar. La tija e la sòla exteriora son cosidas, çò que evita l'usatge d'adesius quimics. Una primièra semèla d'artemisa amb de punts de massatge apòrta un confòrt antibacterian suplementari.

Production Technology: The upper made from W-natural fiber is gentle on the skin and offers optimal elasticity to fit the delicate feet of little ones. The wide, soft Velcro strap enhances comfort for their tender feet, and makes the shoes easier to put on and take off. The upper and outsole are expertly stitched, avoiding any hazards from chemical adhesives and formaldehyde. The use of sustainable materials like natural fibers and environmentally friendly rubber pioneers a low-carbon fashion for infants and toddlers.
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.

Research: The crawling stage is vital for brain and muscular coordination of little ones. Yet, numerous footwear options, with thick outsoles or monotonous patterns, inhibit proper foot exercise. 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.
