Check out these gorgeous, soft leather baby shoes which are made in Wales by Inch Blue. They are the next best thing to bare feet, and are great for giving support for little crawlers and toddlers taking their first steps. The soft leather won’t restrict growing toes, they’re super comfy and will help tots grip on tiled and wooden floors. There is a huge range of designs available for boys and girls, from buses to tractors, foxes and elephants, but we particularly love the fab Christmas robin and penguin designs. The little Welsh dragon design is also a fab present for any little Welsh tot! What little one wouldn’t want to find these shoes in their stocking? They fit from birth to age two – see the full range here. We only wish they came in adult’s sizes as well!
Inch Blue Cwtch Sheepskin Baby Boots
It’s nippy out, so wrap up and give little toes a warm cuddle ( or cwtch) with these natural sheepskin boots by Inch Blue. Available in tan, black, pink and blue in sizes 0-6 months and 6-12 months, baby boys and girls will be toasty and on trend with these cute little boots. Sewn by hand in Wales, these snuggly boots will keep babies’ feet at the perfect temperature without overheating or the need for socks. They come in a presentation box, all you have to do is wrap them. A gorgeous Christmas present that will get a lot of use in wet and windy Wales.
