The first bootees for babies and toddlers taking their first steps at day care, school, home, and everywhere they want to explore
What are the benefits of these soft gym bootees for your baby’s balance?
These gym bootees replicate the benefits of walking barefoot thanks to their wide, flexible design, which allows the foot to strengthen naturally. They provide effective protection against the cold whilst stimulating the nerve endings in the arch of the foot, helping your child to distribute their weight and stabilise their footing naturally.
Why is it recommended to wear these gym bootees without socks?
Not wearing socks allows them to maintain direct sensory contact with the ground: the nerve receptors thus accurately detect changes in surface texture and contour, effectively guiding the toddler as they learn to walk and control their posture.
Tips for use:
Domyos bootees are designed to be worn indoors (on dry, smooth surfaces). Just slip them on without socks for optimal contact with the ground. The nerves on the bottom of the feet will "feel" the floor to help children find their balance.
About children's feet:
Walking barefoot is best for babies so they can learn to recognise tactile sensations. The nerves located under the foot help to determine where the body weight should be distributed to help stay balanced. Domyos bootees are wide and flexible, allowing your baby's feet to grow and become stronger unrestricted while also protecting them from the cold or dangerous surfaces. All our baby shoes are specifically designed for babies' feet.

What is baby gym?
Baby gym consists in doing fun gym activities on obstacle courses with specially designed equipment for children, with gym teachers leading the activities. These obstacle courses are made up of various apparatus built to be safe for very young children (beams, steps, sloped ramps, parallel bars, tunnels, rollers and more) that allow children to climb, slide, jump, balance, etc. Baby gym activities from 10 months to 6 years.

Baby gym promotes psychomotor development in young children, especially the development of motor skills, coordination and balance. Balancing on beams, jumping, rolling and climbing are activities that help your child to develop autonomy and confidence.

What should your child wear for baby gym?

The importance of wearing the right shoe size:
How to choose your size?
A proper fit is extremely important: a smaller or bigger size (even by 5 mm!) is not advisable. Shoes that are too small can injure the ankle and toes or rub the skin, while shoes that are too big can change the child's gait and cause blisters. Between ages 1 and 2, children's feet will grow about 1 shoe size every 3 to 4 months. Remember to regularly check their shoe size.
