The Riley is a retro-inspired trainer, perfect for special occasions and everyday style. Embossed detailing and a two tone chartreuse and navy colourway with racing stripe complete a preppy look, while the natural and breathable materials are designed to keep kids’ feet cosy. This understated style offers adjustability and a secure fit with double hook-and-loop strap fastening, with a padded heel collar for added comfort. Suitable for first walkers, this style fits true to size.

Care Instructions:
Polish every two weeks with a natural polish such as beeswax or a revitaliser cream to keep leather soft and protected. This will also provide some protection from water. Light scuffs can be reduced by rubbing beeswax or cream over affected area. Avoid fully immersing in water. Dry naturally, away from direct sunlight. Do not bleach, soak, or tumble dry.

Bobux believe in ‘stage, not age’ and Step Ups exemplify this philosophy. Meeting the needs of children learning to walk, cruising, and new to unassisted walking, Step Ups will suit children from as young as 7 months to 2 years and beyond – depending on their developmental progress. Built on unique custom lasts and making use of Bobux’ industry leading expertise Step Ups are designed to support healthy foot development through this crucial stage. Step Ups are styled like little shoes (who doesn’t want cool kicks for their kids?) while retaining all the important design features of healthy first walker footwear.

When your child takes their first assisted steps, it won’t be long until they are cruising around furniture and starting to explore the wide world outdoors. This is when they’ll need some first walking shoes. However, at this stage children are still learning to walk confidently and their foot shape reflects this. You will notice that their feet are still not muscular, feature a fat layer on the sole and chubby square toes. Also, their arch and achilles remain undefined.
