Lighter, tougher, bendier, the Xplorer is the perfect shoe for little cruisers as they embark on their earliest upright adventures. Grabbing hold of chairs and tables to heighten their perspective, little cruising kids are just starting to inspect the world from a new upstanding angle.
CRUISING + ALMOST WALKING
FEET, MOVEMENTS AND SHOES
THEIR FEET
Cruisers' feet are just beginning to form, their heels and tiny toes are starting to take shape allowing them to stand when supported. Their feet are still soft, chubby and cute with flat pads and no arches.
THEIR MOVEMENTS
Cruisers aren’t quite standing by themselves yet, but they’re starting to pull themselves up on furniture. They can stand when supported and are excited and curious to see the world at a new angle. They still crawl around with nothing to hold on to but will soon be taking their earliest solo steps.
THEIR SHOES
Cruisers’ feet are still changing every day, so soft materials and considered designs give them a full range of movement and the freedom to develop naturally. Xplorer shoes are lightweight and durable to protect babies' feet as they start to stand. Grippy textured soles help babies push against surfaces and the reinforced toe-caps protect tiny little toes as they crawl around. The Xplorer sole was expertly designed to flex with your child’s movement, allowing their feet to strengthen naturally as they grow and start to explore.
THE BOBUX XPLORER
Little cruisers are getting closer and closer to becoming little walkers. Such a monumental task demands the perfect shoe. Shaped just like chubby cruiser feet, the Xplorer carefully mimics the movement of kids as they learn to take their earliest tender steps.
