Shupeas

Premium, soft-leather infant footwear engineered to protect delicate ankles while delivering a secure, comfortable fit for newborns and infants up to 18 months.

Key features

• Guaranteed no elastic marks around the ankle: designed to avoid the constricting elastic bands found on many baby shoes, reducing the risk of pressure marks and restricted circulation.
• Wide, easy opening and generous insert: slips on quickly with or without socks, making dressing chubby or wriggly infants easier for caregivers.
• One-size convenience: designed to fit from newborn through approximately 0–18 months, reducing the need for frequent size replacements during rapid early growth.
• Soft leather upper and soft sole: high-end, flexible materials suited for pre-walkers and beginner walkers; sole wear typically appears once a child is walking confidently.
• Fits a range of ankle shapes: accommodates both chubbier ankles (without tight elastic) and slimmer ankles (reducing shoe loss during outdoor activity).

Benefits for retailers and buyers

• Lowers customer returns and sizing complaints by accommodating a wide variety of infant ankle shapes and clothing-based sizing conventions.
• Positions well in premium baby and children’s assortments: emphasizes safety, comfort and clinician endorsements.
• Simple inventory handling with a one-size offering that covers a broad age/size window.

Sizing & care notes

• Sizing follows baby clothing measurements; actual fit varies by child percentile. Some infants in higher percentiles may outgrow the design earlier; petite infants may wear them longer.
• Can be worn with or without socks. Soft leather and soft sole materials are intended for pre-walking or early-walking stages; hard-soled shoes are recommended later for safety once a child is fully mobile.

Clinical validation

• Tested in multiple focus groups in the US and Europe and reported endorsements from paediatric and podiatry professionals for the shoe’s fit and soft-sole approach.
