Main Material

The materials were carefully chosen to maintain maximum flexibility and lightness. This way, children’s feet can grow unrestricted with a barefoot sensation.Shoes that protect your child and let them move freely and naturally while taking their first steps.

Shoes designed for young children’s feet:

The wide openings make them easy for kids to put on and take off.
The cloud puzzle on the insole, along with right/left labels on the outsoles, let your child put on their shoes correctly and feel more independent. These shoes are a great way for parents to boost their child’s development.

Improves independence

Around the age of 5 or 6, kids will begin to learn right from left and understand these concepts in relation to their body.
We also wanted to include a little hint on the insoles and outsoles to help kids put their shoes on the correct feet.
That’s why there’s a cloud puzzle on the insoles. 
Two small paws that are greeting each other on the outsoles.

Which shoe goes on which foot? That’s a great question!

From 1 to 2 years (sizes 4.5 to 7): starting to learn to walk.Feet are flat, round, and chubby: our I Learn shoes are extremely flexible to support children’s natural development.From 3 to 6 years (8.5 to 12.5): mastery of walking, running, and jumping. Feet get stronger and more slender, and the arch begins to form. Our I Move shoes are flexible and support the heel.

Which shoes should you choose for your child?

It’s very easy to check the size: Remove the insole and put it on the ground. Place your child’s foot flat on top of it, the heel flush with the back of the insole; if their toes fall in the hatched area at the other end, you’ve got the right size! Kids’ feet grow fastest between ages 1 and 3: Check the size guide on our website.

Choosing the right shoe size

Did you know that to stay healthy, your child should get at least 180 minutes of physical activity every day? And at least 60 minutes should be moderate to vigorous.
Regular physical activity from a very young age is beneficial for your child’s physical and mental development. Learning healthy habits early on can help limit health problems later in life.

Regular physical activity from a very young age is beneficial for your child’s physical and mental development. Learning healthy habits early on can help limit health problems later in life. Doing a group physical activity also supports your child’s social integration and personal development.

The benefits of physical activity at a young age:

What are the physical benefits?
- Foster development of basic physical abilities (psychomotor development)
- Support healthy growth
- Foster healthy habits

What are the mental benefits?
- Help build self-confidence
- Facilitate social integration
- Support personal development

Physical and mental benefits:

Domyos booties are designed to be worn indoors on dry, smooth surfaces. Slip them on without socks for optimal contact with the ground. The nerves on the bottom of the feet “feel” the floor, helping children find their balance.

Tips for use:

Walking barefoot helps babies recognize tactile sensations. The nerves in the sole help babies learn where to place their weight and stay balanced. Domyos booties are wide and flexible, allowing your baby’s feet to grow and become stronger, unrestricted, while also protecting them from the cold and dangerous surfaces. All our kids’ shoes are specifically designed for kids’ feet.

What is Gym 101?
Gym 101 consists in doing fun gym activities on obstacle courses with specially designed equipment for children, with gym teachers leading the activities. These courses include different apparatuses built to be safe for very young children (beams, steps, sloped ramps, parallel bars, tunnels, rollers, and more) so they can climb, slide, jump, balance, and more. Gym 101 can be practiced from 10 months to 6 years.

The sport:

What are the benefits of Gym 101?
Gym 101 promotes psychomotor development in young children, especially the development of motor skills, coordination, and balance. Balancing on beams, jumping, rolling, and climbing help your child develop autonomy and confidence.

Benefits:

What should your child wear for Gym 101?
A comfortable seasonal outfit: Soft-knit T-shirt, shorts, or pants and a warm-up jacket or tracksuit. And lastly, to avoid slipping on the gym equipment, a pair of Domyos booties.

What to wear:

How to choose your size
A proper fit is extremely important: a smaller or larger size (even by 5 mm/0.2”) is not advisable. Shoes that are too small can injure the ankle and toes or rub the skin, while shoes that are too big can affect the child’s gait and cause blisters. Between the ages of 1 and 2, children’s feet grow about one shoe size every three to four months. Remember to regularly check their shoe size.

The importance of wearing the right shoe size:

 

 
Booties designed in collaboration with a physiotherapist.

Our baby gym product designers created these shorts to support your child's psychomotor skills development.

Between ages one and six, feet play an important role in children's development and growth. Our shoes address the specific needs of children's feet during their many development stages.

Shoes designed for young children's feet:

From 1 to 2 years (sizes US 4 to 7.5): learning to walk. Feet are flat, round, and chubby: our I LEARN shoes are extremely flexible to support children's natural development.
From 3 to 6 years (sizes US 8 to 12): mastery of walking, running, and jumping. The feet get stronger and more slender and the arch begins to form. Our I MOVE shoes are flexible and support the heel.

For children aged 3 to 6 who run and jump, you should choose a shoe that protects their feet while offering good freedom of movement. The Domyos I MOVE shoes also offer enhanced support at the back of the foot. Kids at this age are growing (height, weight) and increasing their physical activity (greater intensity and longer duration). They need more support and protection.

Characteristics of children's feet at ages 3 to 6: 

Very easy to check the size: remove the shoe's insole and put it on the ground; place your child's foot flat on top of it, with their heel level with the back of the insole; if their toes are in the shaded area at the other end of the sole, it's the right size! Remember to regularly check their shoe size. Kids' feet grow fastest between the ages of 1 and 3 years: check our size guide on our website.

We are all born with flat feet. As we begin to walk, the arch gradually develops through the natural development of our foot muscles. This is why children's shoes do not need to have arch support when they are still growing (unless otherwise indicated by a healthcare professional).

Arch support or not?

Regular physical activity from a very young age is beneficial for your child's physical and mental development. Learning healthy habits early on can help limit health problems later in life. Doing group physical activity also supports your child's social integration and personal development.

Your child needs to be comfortable in their clothing, able to take off a layer if needed, and not have to pull up their pants every five minutes! Choose an outfit that is appropriate for the temperature: Soft-knit T-shirt, shorts, or pants and a warm-up jacket or tracksuit. Finally, to avoid slipping, a pair of Domyos Babylight Booties!

Children grow fast! And their feet grow just as fast: making sure they’re wearing the right size shoes is very important. The wrong size can hinder their movement or hurt their ankles and toes. Shoes that are too big can affect their gait and cause blisters. Between the ages of 1 and 2, children’s feet grow about one shoe size every three to four months. Remember to regularly check their shoe size.

What should kids wear for Gym 101?

We choose safe fabrics and inks, as well as accessories (buttons, drawstrings, rhinestones, etc.) that cannot be swallowed. Our fabrics aren’t toxic, so they are safe if your child puts them in their mouth. We consider your child’s safety when designing every aspect of our products. These little details make all the difference.

Our goal is to reduce textile waste during production, starting with design. A pattern template—not just a drawing—is used to design and make products. 
Pattern development is key to the design process. To generate as little waste as possible, the pieces of the product fit together perfectly, like a puzzle, on the pattern template.

What does minimal waste mean?

Between 15% and 20% of textiles used in clothing is discarded. Wasted textiles mean wasted natural resources. It’s vital to tackle the problem at the source by maximizing our use of textiles, minimizing waste, and generating as little fabric waste during the production process as possible.
We reduced waste from 18% to 9%.

Why adopt a minimal waste design approach?

We choose safe fabrics, inks, and accessories (buttons, drawstrings, rhinestones, etc.) that cannot be swallowed. Our fabrics aren’t toxic, so they are safe if your child puts them in their mouth. We consider your child’s safety when designing every aspect of our products. These little details make all the difference.

We partnered with a physiotherapist to design clothing that gives kids more autonomy. “The challenge is to prevent kids from getting discouraged. They need small victories to encourage them to keep going and repeat actions until they become automatic,” explains Agathe, our partner physiotherapist.

How do we help kids out? With easy-to-close zippers, a wide neck so their head doesn’t get stuck, visual markers so they can get their clothing on the right way around, and more! With a little help, tots will gradually learn to dress themselves like the big kids.

We perform comparative studies in a thermal laboratory, in light wind conditions (5 km/h). This is how we measure the thermal resistance of our boots. However, every individual feels the cold differently.Comfort temperature: felt slightly cold; 70% of users felt like their feet were warm enough.
Limit temperature: felt very cold; 10% of users felt like their feet were warm enough.

Are my boots warm enough for winter hikes?

Your boots have a membrane to guarantee waterproofing and breathability. A membrane is a very fine component (5 to 25 micrometres) affixed to the inside of a fabric that prevents water from entering but allows moisture to escape.

How do my boots protect me from outdoor conditions?

Thermal comfort is a balance between warmth and breathability. Too much heat or not enough breathability lets moisture accumulate and cold set in. This membrane is designed with your activities in mind, preventing water infiltration and letting moisture escape.

Breathable boots for optimal thermal comfort.

We made sure that your boots are waterproof by conducting laboratory tests that simulate walking with the boots half-submerged in water. We also conducted field tests to measure wear and aging. We tested 3 levels of waterproofing: 2,000 flexes (approx. 4-km hike), 4,000 flexes (approx. 8-km hike), and 8,000 flexes (approx. 16-km hike). This boot has been tested for up to 2,000 flexes, which is equivalent to a 4-km hike.

Are my boots 100% waterproof?

A boot’s traction depends on tread number and shape. The grip depends on the sole materials and the tread pattern, like car tires. Traction optimizes propulsion, prevents slipping when going uphill, and stabilizes the boot. 
Grip prevents the boot from slipping and skidding on smooth ground or in demanding conditions (rain, snow, and ice).

What is the difference between traction and grip?

Boots with Snow Contact soles provide maximum grip and traction on snow for hiking. The location and height of the studs (3 mm) are inspired by lynx paws; they are spaced strategically for optimal grip when hiking on steep, snowy terrain. The lugs are designed to grip hard snow and evacuate excess water to avoid slipping.

Which type of grip and traction does this boot provide?

The material and tread of Snow Contact soles are specifically designed for optimal grip and traction. Snow Contact soles are more effective on snow than traditional soles. When walking on ice, adding anti-slip grips to your boots is the only way to ensure optimum safety.

What are the advantages of Snow Contact technology?

This product was lab-tested by our engineers to ensure your total satisfaction. We tested the following elements: tear resistance of eyelets and straps, bonding, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion resistance of outsole and upper components, and accelerated aging.

Will my boots withstand regular use in the long term?

Follow these guidelines for winter activities: Warmth: wear warm socks (ideally with a good percentage of wool).
Breathability: choose socks based on the intensity of the hike and make sure they’re breathable, to minimize moisture accumulation.
Boot height: the height of the sock should correspond to the height of the boot—for more protection, choose higher socks.

The right footwear for hiking in snow

Water repellency is a fabric’s capacity to make water run off its surface without being absorbed. It prevents the fabric from soaking up water, keeping it lightweight, warm, and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment needs to be reapplied throughout the product’s lifetime. Products for this purpose (spray and liquid) are available in our stores.

For children ages one and six, their feet are key to their development and growth. Our shoes address the specific needs of children’s feet throughout their development.Biomechanical engineers helped design these shoes so that they don’t hinder movement.

While children do not need to wear shoes for their feet to develop, shoes are important for protection from the cold, damp, and impacts, both indoors and out. Domyos I Learn shoes give children aged 1 to 2 years the protection they need, while allowing maximum freedom of movement: flexible shoes let their feet develop naturally; the thin, flat, and flexible outsole provides the feeling of walking barefoot.
