Buying your child’s first pair of shoes is a big milestone! The shift from tiny feet kicking on a blanket to a little explorer standing up and taking those first steps can happen overnight, and suddenly, it’s time for shoes. For many, this can feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to feel uncertain. But don’t worry! Viking is here to help, with a wide selection of footwear designed for the tiniest adventurers.
To take good care of your child’s feet, it’s important to choose proper footwear that fits securely. Look for:
A flat sole with no heel drop (children under 2 haven’t developed an arch yet)
A sturdy outsole that offers good grip and reduces the risk of slipping
A supportive heel counter and light ankle support for stability and proper foot alignment
Adjustable closures, like laces or Velcro, for a secure and comfortable fit

The Viking Alv collection is our selection of baby shoes, sandals, rubber boots, and sneakers for the very youngest children, designed to support those first, shaky steps with confidence.

Your child is ready for their first shoes when they start pulling themselves up and showing an interest in walking—whether on their own or while holding your hand.
In the beginning, shoes should only be worn for short periods; a couple of hours a day is a great place to start.
