Squeaky Shoes - For Toe Walkers
Our feet are an exceptionally important part of our anatomy. They carry us through life, which is why it’s essential that we take good care of them. Shoes are actually quite a strange thing to put on small, soft children's feet - and more and more research shows that we humans are actually better off walking barefoot as long and as often as possible. But alas, in our modern world that isn’t always possible, especially in cold weather. But wearing shoes causes some children to develop walking patterns that aren't ideal for their motor skills. For instance, some children become toe walkers, meaning they walk on their toes and their heel never fully hits the ground when they walk.  Whether your child is a toe walker or has other challenges related to their way of walking, these "squeaky" shoe straps can be a great help in developing a healthy, correct gait. The sound made by the straps is less like a creaky door and more like a squeak or chirp. The straps fit shoes from size 19 to size 36. The squeaky sounds help your child pay attention to how each step rolls over the foot, the movement of the toes, and the rhythm of the stride. From around 2-3 years old (be sure to check that your child's shoe size matches the sizes mentioned above).
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with
