Children's feet are incredibly interesting and fascinating. There are many things which you may not know about them. Read these 10 interesting facts.

It is tremendously exciting (and slightly nerve-racking) when you first see signs that your baby is ready to start walking on their own. After all, it’s officially the time when your little one transforms into a toddler!

Every milestone in your child's life is exciting for the whole family. Taking their first steps, joining their first sports team, getting ready for their first day at school – what provides the best support and comfort throughout these monumental occasions? 

Choosing kids shoes constructed from the right materials for their needs is really important. Kids feet need support, breathability and flexibility, ensuring that their shoes are specifically constructed from quality materials has many benefits. So what is the best material for kids shoes? This depends on the style of shoe and the needs of the child. Generally natural materials such as leather, suede, cotton and rubber are great materials.

We're passionate (and maybe a little bit obsessed :P ) with helping little ones put their best foot forward. So this International Women's Day we couldn't pass up a chance celebrate a few of the clever women in the Bobux team and find out what this year's theme of #BreakTheBias means to them, which women inspire them and what words of wisdom they’d offer to the next generation... and of course, the wonderful people raising them.

Bobux soft soles are a worldwide favourite for little feet. Bobux Soft Sole is the original all-leather, ultra-soft shoe that gently protects and comforts babies’ growing feet without being restricting or rigid.

So many questions come to mind when purchasing your little one’s shoes for preschool. Should I be investing in the most expensive brand? Do I opt for hook and loop, buckles or laces? Do the cheaper brands offer enough support? When kids are active and running around at preschool, you want to ensure that their feet are comfortable and supported all day. Preschool can be demanding on little feet, which need protection and tailored support to avoid injuries. 

Parenthood is one of the most challenging, magical, exasperating and rewarding adventures any of us can undertake. Most parents experience laughs, frustrations, spilled cornflakes, cuddles and grazed knees, but everyone travels a different path on their child’s wild and wonderful journey and we all have varied and vivid stories of heart-burstingly beautiful times, moments when we just want to use the bathroom in peace, and all the everyday bits in between.

It's the festive time of the year and if you are tired of accumulating plastic junk and excess packaging as a result of kids' stocking stuffers and gifts, consider a sustainable and useful option instead.
