The AAP Recommendations

The AAP (American Association of Pediatrics) has developed recommendations to help parents find shoes that are helpful for babies learning how to walk.

Mamou covers all of the requirements set so that both you and your baby can enjoy a safe, healthy and happy time together!

The AAP gives three specific tips to follow when shopping for your baby's first pair of shoes:

1. Shoes should be lightweight and flexible to support natural foot movement

2. Shoes should be made of leather or mesh to allow your baby's feet to breathe comfortably

3. Shoes should have soles for traction to prevent slipping or sliding. 

The soft, lightweight leather soles are extremely comfortable and allow room for natural growth and development of the baby’s feet. During winter time, the fur lining is ideal for keeping the babies’ feet warm as is it a natural thermo-regulator - the feet will always be kept just warm enough during the cold.

Each Mamou pair is unique, handmade with care in the EU.
