W-kid Sensory Shoes target specifically at children aged 0.5 to 1.5 years which is a critical period of body growth for toddlers. And their feet are growing fasting among all body parts. So we developed these shoes based on their feet growth pattern and aesthetic system and took the comfort of wearing and cultivating good gaits into consideration to guide their healthy growth. And the entire shoe is weaved by a single cotton thread compared with the traditional hook & loop fastening shoes. The show surface is made up of 100% combed cotton, up by 75% compared with traditional ones. With the W-Kid 4th generation capsule technique, the shoe has a single layer without any glue being used. No overlapping reduces feet rubbing and secures babies’ tender skin. The bionic insole stimulates the nerves of the baby's feet by mimicking different textures of the road, which is conducive to neuron development, and encouraging balance, strength and coordination. The wider shoe front is more comfortable and the shoes are suitable for babies either with fat or thin feet. And since there are plenty of room for the toes to grasp the land flexibly, the shoes can train the insole muscle and stimulate the skeletal muscle growth, thus improving the flexibility of the ankle and the support of the insole ligament. The sole has a modular structure that can support different foot parts properly as the hardness varies. Such a design can protect the foot bone, ensure a more natural fit and balance foot pressure to encourage walking coordination. Equipped with a unique balanced semi-insert at the heel, toddlers can walk more stably.
