Why SKEANIE? Our leather first walker shoes are approved Down Under and have been blessed with the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). Podiatrists and Paediatricians always suggest light & flexible first walker shoes - and SKEANIE has gotchu covered!

They say where there's a need, there's an invention. And that's exactly what happened when new mom Natasha Barber had her first kiddo in 2005 and couldn't find the perfect soft, quality first walker shoes. So, she grabbed the bull by the horns and set out to create her own. Her research of foot health and development led to her becoming passionate about manufacturing shoes, and voila! SKEANIE Shoes for Kids was born.

FUN FACT ALERT! A baby's paws have more cartilage than bones. While the shape of their foot is finished by year two, the bones don't solidify until your kiddo is 13. Plus, their little feet take on three times more pressure than yours! And if that isn't bad enough, they also sweat twice as much!

CARING FOR YOUR SHOES
SKEANIE first walker shoes are crafted from soft, cozy leather with flexible rubber and/or suede soles for growing feet. Slip 'em on for special occasions only—scuffing may occur if they're scrapped along rough surfaces. But don't worry, your shoes do enjoy walking, running and playing. The one thing they don't enjoy? Getting drenched, being used as brakes on your bike or scooter, kicking a footy, climbing trees, or strolling in mud and dirt.

Protect your SKEANIE first walker shoes with a water and stain repellent! Give your shoes a quick clean with a damp cloth or leather wipe to keep 'em looking like new. Applying Shucare Leather Conditioner and Renovating Polish is the way to go for softness and colour maintenance. Just remember - never wash your SKEANIE first walker shoes in the washing machine or dryer.

• 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.

A Final Word on SKEANIE Shoe Care

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.

Treat them well, and they’ll last well beyond their first walk.
