Winner:GOLD - Best Baby Footwear Collection

Who:Prenta

What:First Walkers

Why:

Prenta put their best foot forward with their adorable first walkers collection. The meticulous, podiatrist-approved designs were an instant hit with our judges, who felt that they were the perfect blend of style and practicality and the colours are stunning. There’s a pair for every outfit, our panel particularly loved the timeless T-bar design. The quality of these shoes really shines, made from premium leather and designed to be sturdy enough to support little feet through every wobbly step in their walking journey!

Great quality classic first walkers!

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

What a stylish first step into the world of walking - I love the metallic pair!

Eleonore Crompton, Deputy Editor, Junior

The quality of these first walkers is impeccable; they’re really made to last. It’s great to see that the designs are podiatrist backed too.

Winner:SILVER - Best Baby Footwear Collection

Who:The Little Sock Company

What:Stay-On Baby Booties

Why:

We wonder how many baby socks have been lost, never to be seen again after one adventure out of the house. Our judges thought these handy stay-on booties were the perfect remedy to the lost-sock conundrum. Thermal lining and grippy soles keep little toes cosy and support them on their early walking adventures. The panel felt that this product was both practical and adorable, and particularly liked the waterproof option – a little rain should never put a stop to fun adventures!

I love the idea behind this brand and I like the product design. The sherpa and all weather options are my favourites!

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

What a great addition to any tiny wardrobe, I was forever losing baby socks!

Bonita Turner, Editor, Junior

Winner:BRONZE - Best Baby Footwear Collection

Who:Snugabugz

What:Snugabugz Stay On Baby Booties

Why:

The age-old problem, you go out on an adventure and return home with one (or both!) baby socks nowhere to be seen – enter Snugabugz Stay on Baby Booties. Our judges thought these innovative booties were a handy addition to any baby bag or nursery drawers. Our panel loved how soft the GOTS-certified cotton was and agreed that the product was very lightweight and comfortable. The sweet elephant prints also went down particularly well!

As a parent of three who has lost many a baby sock I appreciate the innovation behind this brand!

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

Gone are the days of losing every sock that goes on those little feet. These booties are adorable, love the little elephant print!

Bonita Turner, Editor, Junior

Lifechanging! The frustration of lost booties is over!
