Bella Pre/First Walker Mary Jane Shoes Metallic Silver

Add a touch of sparkle to your little one’s step with our Metallic Silver Bella Mary Jane baby shoes – a beautiful blend of elegance, comfort, and expert design.

Handcrafted from premium, genuine leather, these pre walker shoes are soft, supportive, and gentle on delicate feet. They feature a secure hook and loop closure and an elasticised ankle collar for a snug, comfortable fit. The removable insoles make cleaning a breeze and can also accommodate orthotics for added support.

Podiatrist-designed and approved in Australia, these first walker shoes are built on barefoot principles to support natural foot development – and proudly carry the APMA Seal of Acceptance for trusted quality.

Special Care for Metallic Leather:
Our metallic finish is created using a hot-press foil technique for a shiny, eye-catching effect. While stunning, metallic leather is more delicate than standard leather and may show wear if scratched. Please treat with care – unfortunately, re-foiling isn’t possible.

Care Instructions:

• Spray with a water and stain repellent before first wear
• Wipe clean with a damp cloth or leather wipe
• Use a leather-renewing polish to maintain softness and colour
• Do not machine wash or tumble dry

Why Choose SKEANIE?
SKEANIE pre walker baby shoes are trusted by podiatrists and loved by parents for their soft soles, flexible structure, and baby-safe materials – all designed to support your child’s earliest steps with confidence.

• Ensure your child’s foot is relaxed before measuring.
• Measure towards the end of the day to ensure foot is at it’s largest.
• Place your child’s foot on a piece of paper
• Draw a line at the heel and at the big toe - measure the foot length in mm.
• DO NOT add to your child’s foot length as wriggle room has been factored in.
• Whilst we have tried our best to make our sizing guide as accurate as possible, the sizing of our shoes may vary slightly between designs.
• *Approx. Age - please note that this is an approximate only and we cannot guarantee that the size will fit the approximate age bracket. We recommend using the Maximum Foot Length measurement.

SKEANIE leather shoes and boots are thoughtfully designed for growing feet. Handcrafted from soft, breathable leather and featuring flexible rubber or suede soles, our footwear is podiatrist-approved and supports natural foot development.

Because we use soft, high-quality leather, SKEANIE shoes are best worn as dress shoes or for special occasions. While they’re made to move—walking, playing, even running—they’re not made for rough, wet, or extreme conditions.

Leather Shoe Care
Keep Their First Shoes Looking Beautiful

To help your SKEANIE shoes stay stylish, comfortable, and long-lasting, follow our simple care guide:

What to Avoid:

• Getting the shoes wet or muddy
• Using them as bike or scooter brakes
• Kicking balls or rough play on concrete
• Walking through dirt, sand, or uneven terrain
• Machine washing or tumble drying

General Shoe Care Tips:

• Spray with a gentle water and stain repellent before first use
• Wipe clean with a damp cloth or leather-safe wipe after each wear
• Apply leather conditioner and renovating polish to maintain softness and colour
• Store in a cool, dry place when not in use

Dealing with Scuffing on Soft Leather

Scuffing is natural with soft leather shoes—especially on rough surfaces. While it doesn’t damage the integrity of the shoe, it can affect the appearance. Here’s how to reduce and repair scuff marks:

• Use a colour-matched polish to touch up visible marks
• Apply a leather conditioner regularly to nourish and restore the leather
• Avoid dragging toes or scraping against pavement
• Reserve shoes for clean, dry surfaces where possible

Caring for Metallic Leather Shoes

Metallic leather shoes, like our beautiful Mary-Jane styles in Gold and Silver, require extra care. These finishes are created using a heat-bonded foil that cannot be reapplied once scratched.

To clean and maintain metallic leather:

• Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth
• Buff regularly with a dry, soft cloth to restore shine
• Use a small amount of Renovating Polish if needed, applied with a cloth in light, even strokes

Please tread carefully with metallics to preserve their delicate finish.

Your baby’s first shoes hold precious memories—first steps, little adventures, growing confidence. With the right care, SKEANIE leather shoes can stay beautiful and functional, supporting your little one every step of the way.
