Children's and baby slippers: Les Pas Petits, Birkenstock

Slippers Les Pas Petits

The soft slippers Les Pas Petits, from the French brand of soft slippers, come in Dachshunds, Bicolour Hearts, Camel Sailors, Vichy and Léon, for babies and children. The soft slipper bends with the foot. A soft slipper allows the foot to feel the ground, almost like being barefoot.

Children's slippers Birkenstock Zermatt

The children's slipper Birkenstock Zermatt is worn at home in winter, just like the parents' Zermatts. The Birkenstock children's slipper is chosen to fit the foot size, with a bit of room to spare.

Baby slippers Victoria

The baby slippers Victoria Ojalá Animals, from the Spanish brand of canvas shoes, feature animal patterns for the little ones. The patterned slipper appeals to children who like to choose.

How to choose children's slippers

For a baby taking their first steps, choose a soft slipper that supports the ankle without being too tight and allows the foot to bend. For a running child, go for a non-slip sole and a hook-and-loop or elastic closure. The non-slip sole prevents slipping on the floorboards. A wide opening makes it easier for little feet to slip on.

What size children's slippers

Measure the foot standing, from the heel to the tip of the big toe, and add about half a centimetre for a soft slipper. Feet grow quickly: check the children's shoe size each season.

Children's slippers and shoes: the full selection

The children's shoes include ankle boots, trainers and sandals, and the slippers also include adult models. The slippers for nursery should be marked with the child's name.

Children's slippers for nursery and school

Many nurseries and preschools require a pair of slippers that stay at the location. Choose a model that is easy to put on alone, with a hook-and-loop or elastic, and with a sole that doesn't slip: the school slipper should be stored in a bag labelled with the name. A brightly coloured model can be spotted in the locker.

Caring for children's slippers

Soft leather can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a bit of soap, then air-dried, away from the radiator. Fabric slippers can sometimes go in the washing machine: the label will specify this. A spare pair saves you waiting for drying.

Patterned baby slippers, girls' slippers and boys' slippers

The patterned baby slippers, featuring animals, hearts, or checkers, can be worn from the first steps at home and at nursery. Girls' slippers and boys' slippers should be easy to put on without help. Sock slippers, knitted with a sole, keep little feet warm on the floorboards.

Frequently asked questions about children's slippers

Soft slippers or rigid-soled for babies?

For first steps at home, a soft slipper allows the foot to feel the ground and bend. The firmer sole is kept for walking outside: the soft slipper is the most common for babies.

How to keep baby slippers on?

Choose a model with an elastic at the ankle or a hook-and-loop, which won't come off with a kick. The elastic slipper stays in place in the pushchair.

How many pairs of slippers for a child?

One pair for home and one for nursery or school is often enough. Feet grow quickly: a new pair each season is common.

How to label slippers with the child's name?

With a fabric marker inside, a thermal label or a tag attached with a hook-and-loop. The name avoids mix-ups at nursery.

How to wash soft leather slippers?

With a damp cloth and mild soap, without soaking, then air-dried. A bit of colourless cream keeps the soft leather.
