They are machine washable (30°C In a Laundry Bag) but look great even after a quick baby wipe or when rinsed out by hand.
Remove insoles before washing and rinse by hand to prolong their life.

Size Guide
CHECK OUT OUR NEW FOOT MEASURE TOOL.
To help you find the right size, we've put together an easy to follow guide.
CLICK HERE to print the size guide below at 100% on A4 paper and ensure scaling is set to actual size, none or unchecked.
Please note that the size guide & foot length does NOT represent the actual size of the shoe, it is a guide to help you select the right size.
Example: If your little one is measuring right on 11.5cm, a Small would still be the perfect size for them and there will still be plenty of room for their toes to wiggle and grow, as the actual shoe will be longer than 11.5cm.
If you don't have a printer, place a piece of paper against a wall and have your child put their heel against a wall.
Measure from the back of their heel to the tip of their toes. The best size for them would be the next closest size to their foot measurement. For example, if their foot measures 11cm, we would recommend purchasing a size small.
At this age, the right size shoe is just as important as the right type of shoe. Shoes that are too big will slip off and cause your little one trip, stumble and fall. We strongly recommend purchasing the correct size for your little one, and not a larger size.
Use the size chart above to find the right size.
It’s always tricky when they measure in between sizes, that’s why we have a really flexible exchange policy. Sometimes, adding a pair of grip socks underneath the shoes can help while they are in between sizes.
More Product Information
At Sole Sox Australia we understand and have lived the struggles of finding the perfect shoes for toddlers. When babies are learning to crawl, learning to take their first steps and learning to run, climb and jump, whats on their feet matters.
Decades of research has shown that barefoot is best, but it’s not always practical. That’s where Sole Sox come in. All our pre-walker shoes are designed to protect their delicate Soles, be as comfortable as Socks, all while giving babies feet the room to move, wiggle and grow.
Sole Sox are soft, sustainable, anti-bacterial and breathable. The bubble toe, flexible anti-slip sole and light weight design simulate barefoot walking. They are designed to be worn with or without sock and are easy to clean. But most importantly, all our products are made from tested non-toxic food grade materials... just in case your baby wants a bite!
No need to purchase separate insoles as ours come included.
Please note actual colours may vary. It’s important to note that they may look different on a real product than what you see on your computer monitor. This is due to the fact that every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours and that everyone sees these colours differently. We try to show the products as life-like as possible, but please understand the actual colour may vary slightly from your monitor.
PODIATRISTS REVIEW
'Sole Sox are a safe, practical choice for healthy foot development' Bethany - Podiatrist
OUR PROMISE
Why are 'normal' shoes so bad for little feet?
Wearing regular, and heavy shoes can significantly hinder kids foot develoment.
Sole Sox have a wide toe box to allow toes to wiggle, grow and pick up sensory information from the ground that helps develop their balance and stability.

FAQs
What are the key features of Sole Sox?
Sole Sox are essentially a cotton sock with a light weight, soft & flexible, rubber sole. They are designed to mimic barefoot walking.
For decades we have been told that barefoot is best, but it’s not always practical. Thats where Sole Sox come in. Our rubber sole doesn’t have any holes in it so it provides protection from harsh, hot, cold and damp surfaces.
Sole Sox are perfect for little ones learning to walk, run & climb.
👣Simulates barefoot walking - The soft rubber sole is light weight flexible and oh so comfortable. It allows their little feet to pick up on sensory information from the ground as they learn to walk.
👣 Large toe box - Our shoes are designed to give their little toes room to wiggle and grow. This is essential in ensuring their feet grow and develop correctly.
👣 No holes in our soles - so you don’t have to stress about damp feet when out and about.
👣 Combed cotton socks - more durable so you can wash them as much as you like.
👣 Non-slip food grade rubber sole - helps develop their confidence and keep them from slipping and sliding. And we use food grade rubber without any harmful glues or toxins to keep your little one safe.
👣Super Cute - Our designs are simple sleek and look great on any outfit.
👣 Affordable Pricing - We have worked hard to bring to you a great product at a reasonable price without compromising on quality.
👣Slip on like socks - No time consuming laces or buckles.
👣Machine Washable & Quick drying
👣 Insoles are included- why pay extra for something that should come standard.
Have Sole Sox been approved by a podiatry association?
At Sole Sox, our products are thoughtfully designed in collaboration, and endorsed by health professionals, including podiatrists, child physiotherapists, and paediatric specialists.
While there is currently no formal approval framework from Podiatry Australia for pre-walker footwear, our designs are based on the latest research and clinical insights into early childhood foot development.
We’re proud to be endorsed by a growing number of leading podiatrists, many of whom recommend Sole Sox after using them with their own patients and families.
Research consistently shows that footwear which mimics barefoot walking best supports natural foot development, balance, and coordination in early walkers. This is the foundation behind every Sole Sox design — lightweight, flexible, and made to move with your child, not restrict them.
As Podiatry Australia finalises its official framework, we look forward to formally submitting our products for assessment. Until then, we remain committed to creating footwear that supports healthy development, backed by expert insight and real-world trust.
Are Sole Sox protective enough to be worn outdoors on hot & ruff surfaces?
Our Sole Sox Rubber Shoe Socks are made from a flexible light weight rubber called TPE. This offers protection from hot and harsh surfaces such as gravel and concrete, all while mimicing barefoot walking. They are especially great for outdoors as there are no holes in the sole so moisture & odor-causing bacteria does not seep in.
And if you’re out camping or can’t access a washing machine, and they get dirty or muddy, just give them a quick rinse and leave them out to dry.
Are Sole Sox breathable? My daughter has sweaty feet even when it's cold.
Our Sole Sox are made with a very breathable and comfortable materials.
Often customers worry that because there are no holes our soles this may cause their feet to sweat.
While your little ones feet may become sweaty in their Sole Sox, our research found that adding holes into the sole actually caused an increase in 'smelly feet' as the holes allowed odour causing bacteria & moisture to seep in.If you find your little ones feet are getting sweaty, you can always add a pair of socks underneath to help with absorption, or wash them more frequently.
We also have our Breathable Mesh styles that are great for Summer and extra sweaty feet.
Can I wash my Sole Sox?
Definatly!
Babies love getting messy! That's why our Sole Sox are made with soft but durable materials to ensure they can be washed again and again! They are designed to be washed as regularly as you would wash your socks.
They are machine washable (30°C) and look great even after a quick baby wipe or when rinsed out by hand.
Our range of Summer Sole Sox are designed with Fast-Dry Technology so air-drying is best.
Remove insoles before washing and rinse by hand to prolong their life.
Do Not Tumble dry
Do Not Bleach
When picking a size, is the age range accurate?
The age range is purely a guide. For most babies its perfect, but for some its too big or too small. It’s best to use our printable size guide or your childs foot measurement.
We include the age range mainly for people looking to purchase these shoes as a gift. Children of the same age can vary greatly in their foot measurements so whenever possible we suggest using this size guide to measure their foot.
We have a very flexible returns/exchange policy, if they happen to be too small/big. Just reach out to one of our friendly staff via the contact us page.
Should I purchase a larger size so my little one can grow into them?
At this age, the right size shoe is just as important as the right type of shoe. Shoes that are too big will slip off and cause your little one trip, stumble and fall. We strongly recommend purchasing the correct size for your little one, and not a larger size.
And if its not the right size, we have a really flexible Returns & Exchange policy.
We have worked hard to provide a great quality product at an affordable price because we are passionate about insuring little ones have the right size & type of footwear.
My little ones feet measures just on 11.5cm. Should i size up?
At this age, the right size is just as important as the right shoe. We would still recommend purchasing a Small (11.5cm).
The foot measurement does not represent the actual size of the shoe, it is a guide to help you select the right size.
Example: If your little one is measuring right on 11.5cm, a Small would still be the perfect size for them and there will still be plenty of room for their toes to wiggle and grow, as the actual shoe will be longer than 11.5cm.
They should still get a few months wear out of them. At this age, if your little ones shoes are too big on them, they can slip off and cause them to trip stumble or fall which will delay their motor development.
It’s always tricky when they measure in between sizes, that’s why we have a really flexible exchange policy. Sometimes, adding a pair of grip socks underneath the shoes can help while they are in between sizes.
Do i need to purchase insoles with Sole Sox?
We recommend wearing Sole Sox with insoles, thats why we include them at no extra charge.
Sole Sox are fully lined with a cotton sock, and our insole provides a thin layer of support, whilst still allowing their adorable feet to pick up essential sensory information from the ground.
Sole Sox can be worn with or without the insole. It’s personal preference. Lots of customers like to wear socks underneath instead of insoles as well. Kids are often in and out of mud and puddles so thats why they're designed to be worn with or without insoles and socks. The inside of the shoes are cotton lined to totally ok either way if your little one prefers to wear them without the insoles.
Because we avoid using any harmful chemicals and toxins, we are limited with the types of glues we can use on our insoles. This is why we recommend removing insoles before washing your Sole Sox and rinsing them by hand to prolong their life.

Fast delivery. Gorgeous little shoes. Little person seems to be comfortable. Easy to put on and they stay on
She loves these shoes, and runs around everywhere in them.
Love them
Have the grey bear socks in xs,s,M,L for baby and toddler-neutral and easy to match-both baby and toddler loves it :)
Comfortable durable shoes for first walker shoes -so eay to wash . Highly recommend
I’m so happy with Sole Sox! Their customer service was fantastic they resolved my issue and arranged a replacement so quickly, making the whole process easy. I also love their shoes! They’re so easy to put on, and my son walks comfortably in them. We tried other brands, but he struggled to walk properly and kept tripping. In Sole Sox, he walks naturally, as if he’s barefoot exactly as described! Highly recommend 😊
Perfect gigt I got for my son turing 1 soon. He is walkign everywhere. He needs his feet protected. Easy to put on and take off-unlike ther shoes he doesn't bother taking this one off so he must be comfortable in it.
Purchased for an upcoming birth present.
We love these shoes for our little one! They look great and we find they don't come off as easily as some of the other styles with wider collars. The velcro makes it easy to get the little one involved with taking the shoes on and off.
We love these shoes because they fit snug across our little one's ankles and lower legs and do not easily come off when walking, which we found with the other styles. These are perfect for daycare and trips outside!
Bought these for my 14 month old who just started walking, to wear at daycare. They stay on and he seems to walk comfortably with them! Which is not something I can say for other shoes I've tried. Very happy with my purchase
Thankyou to Sole Sox customer support. When I had a mix up with my order they corrected it in a flash great support thankyou Shellie - WA
It took only a few steps in my daughters new shoes for her to be able to walk comfortably and confidently. It was her first time walking in shoes.
great shoes. Comfortable and durable
So cute , bought for my grand daughter for first shoes , great quality and service 💕
Pretty colour , great prompt service , great quality 💕
Great shoes , bought for my grand daughter for first steps , great quality and prompt service , love them , had to buy 3 💕
I like these socks for my grandchild as they are well made and have lots of dots on the base which makes them non slip
Makes life easier that's for sure. Handy little gadget.
Fantastic quality and super soft! My toddler finds them so comfortable to wear, and they stay on securely throughout the day. Very practical for everyday use—highly recommend!
We absolutely love these Sole Sox! They are extremely lightweight, breathable, and flexible, making them ideal for an active toddler. The grip on the soles gives great stability without restricting foot movement, and knowing they are podiatrist-approved is a huge plus. Super easy to slip on and off when heading out!
These are cute ready for summer
These are amazing. I’m hoping there will be sizes for 4 & 5 yr olds unless I’ve miss understood the sizings lol
The sole sox size measure is a total game-changer for finding the perfect shoe fit, especially for kids and babies! 👣📏👶 Not suitable for adults, too small #shoes #kids #babies #measurement
My son is ASD level 3 and hates shoes or anything on his feet he is almost 5 and coming into summer with bindeys and the heat we thought we would give them a go, he absolutely loves them and I’m so glad to have found these shoes! We will be purchasing more as he grows! Thankyou so much
Great!
My son loves his new shoes! Great quality
Love it..Can measure my granddaughter's feet to buy shoes
Perfect Christmas present for our Granddaughter!
Fit well, she can’t pull them off and easy to clean
Perfect, my baby loves walking in these sandals
I couldn't get my 1 year old to wear shoes for more than a few minutes, until I found Sole Sox. He doesn't even try to take them off. Obviously comfy
They’re great quality and they don’t fall off
I had a great experience with Sole Sox The shoes are lovely and the company's service was excellent. I would recommend this company and product
Easy to order simple to follow sizing, great for my grand daughter only shoes she will keep on her feet.
Sturdy little shoes, love the colour and flexibility of the sole. My daughter seems very comfortable wearing them. She has worn them for a week now and they are holding up well. Not so easy to remove for little fingers as there is two velcro spots.
Very soft, comfortable. Perfect for those tiny little feet indoor and outdoor. Highly recommend.
✨ Little feet, big first adventures! 👣💛 We recently received two beautiful pairs of Sole Sox — the Chocolate Velcro Mesh and Lemon Breathable Mesh — and I’m honestly so impressed with the quality, softness and flexibility! As a mum, choosing those first shoes feels extra special, and I love that these are designed with little explorers in mind. The lightweight, flexible soles are made to mimic barefoot walking, while the wide toe box gives tiny toes room to wiggle and grow. The grippy soles are perfect for those wobbly first steps, and I especially love how breathable and comfortable they feel. The Chocolate pair with double Velcro makes getting them on and securing the fit so easy — especially when you have a little one who just wants to keep moving! And both styles are machine washable and quick-drying, which is definitely a mum win. 🥰 Seeing my little one take those precious first steps in her very first shoes makes these even more special. 🥹👣 I’m so glad @sole_sox are part of this beautiful milestone. 💕
The gift voucher was a present for my great nephews first birthday. As we live in different states I am unable to provide details on the actual solesox chosen.
