71% of children wear shoes that restrict healthy foot development
During the crucial first three years, your child's feet build the foundation for the future.
Traditional “supportive” shoes can limit natural movement, block muscle growth and lead to lifelong problems such as hallux valgus, flat feet or chronic pain.
Give your little one the freedom to grow as nature intended.


Their first steps
deserve better shoes.

Customer reviews

These shoes are perfect for my baby’s first steps! Lightweight, flexible and super soft on her little feet.

I was looking for barefoot-style shoes and these are amazing. My son walks more confidently now!

The quality is excellent. Easy to put on and take off, and they actually stay on! Definitely recommend.

Love how natural my daughter walks in these. She even asks to put them on! Great purchase.

Great fit and very soft inside. My baby doesn’t try to take them off like with other shoes.
🫧 Easy To Wash
-
Simple
Just pop them in your washing machine with your regular clothes if the cotton material gets dirty.
-

It's as simple as using a wet wipe to making the shoes look brand new again!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pick the right size?
Print our one-page foot ruler and place your child’s heel on the line.
Read the centimetre mark at the longest toe, match it in the table below and order with total confidence.
Tip: Between sizes? Choose the larger—the knit collar hugs without slipping.

Wide or chubby feet?
The Blooma toe-box is deliberately generous. Knit uppers expand up to 20 % without squeezing, so even the chunkiest “marshmallow feet” relax and spread naturally.
Will my child actually keep them on?
Yes. The soft sock-collar stretches on in five seconds and clings just enough to stay during running, climbing and scooter-rides—without red marks.
Indoor & outdoor friendly?
Absolutely. The feather-light sole grips polished floors yet flexes on grass and playground bark.
Socks or no socks?
Either works. Parents of narrow-footed toddlers often add thin socks; chunky-foot parents skip them. Comfort stays identical.
Machine-washable?
Throw them in at 30 °C on a gentle cycle, air-dry overnight. Shape and grip stay intact—tested for 30 full washes.
Quick clean option?
A damp cloth wipes mud off the rubber; a lint roller lifts fluff from the knit.
Shipping speed?
Orders placed before 2 pm ship the same business day via Royal Mail 24 h. Typical delivery: 1 – 3 days UK-wide.
Payment methods?
Visa / Mastercard · PayPal · Apple Pay · Klarna · Amex — all processed through 256-bit SSL checkout.
30-day Money-Back Guarantee
Try Blooma at home, outside, even on nursery day. If you’re not delighted, email us within 30 days for an immediate refund or free size swap.
Shoes sliding off when my baby is still crawling—what now?
Blooma First-Steps are engineered for upright explorers. Crawling babies develop best barefoot; slip the shoes on once standing becomes routine.
Packaging—no shoebox?
We ship in a recyclable, letterbox-friendly sleeve that cuts cardboard waste by 80 %. Healthier feet and a healthier planet.
