Petit - The icon for the first steps

For more than a decade, Bundgaard Petit has been the ultimate beginner shoe for little adventurers. A shoe that combines timeless design with thoughtful functionality, and with its iconic wavy toe and ultra flexible sole, it has found its way onto thousands of children's first steps..

Petit is designed to support the natural foot development of little ones who are just mastering the art of walking. The wide front fit allows for the natural movement of little toes, while the fixed heel cup ensures the shoe stays stable and secure on the foot. A flat sole construction with no heel cup creates a harmonious and natural foot position that promotes balance and freedom of movement.

Flexibility and komfort in hthe highest klasse

The ultra-flexible sole is one of Petit's most remarkable features. Built-in flex zones allow the shoe to follow the child's movements without resistance, providing a barefoot feel that strengthens little feet. Combined with a durable toe cap, the shoe is both durable and suitable for children who are still crawling, but also for those who are curious and ready to take their first steps.

Petit is made from carefully selected materials with a focus on quality and sustainability. The leather is very high quality and comes from LWG-certified tanneries. The soft vegetable tanned leather lining ensures a breathable and comfortable fit, free from harmful chemicals.

What is a beginner shoe and why is it important?

A beginner shoe is designed specifically for children taking their first steps. Small feet are soft and flexible, so it's important that a beginner shoe supports healthy foot development without restricting movement. A good beginner shoe should have a soft and flexible sole that allows the foot to move naturally while providing a firm grip on the heel for stability.

Parents should look for shoes made from breathable and natural materials, such as leather, that mold to the child's foot and provide optimal comfort. It's also essential that the shoe has a spacious forefoot so that the toes have room to spread out and grip the ground. A beginner's shoe should also have a lightweight construction so that the child's movement is not restricted and a secure closure mechanism that ensures a good fit without being tight.
