Learning to Walk

When your child begins to walk, shoes become necessary. Shoes protect the feet, provide warmth and play a role in fashion.

Pediatricians recommend that the best footwear should have these characteristics :

- Proper fit : if the shoe is too short, toes will be compressed.
- Flexible sole : so the foot can move freely.
- Made of porous material : to allow the skin to breathe.
- Extend above the ankle : to prevent the shoe from slipping off.

Nowali produces a top quality moccasin with a machine washable leather sole. The moccasins are not restrictive, they conform to the shape of the foot. The soft leather soles help prevent slipping, an important factor for busy young walkers.

The upper part of the moccasin is made of cotton, lycra and nylon. Cotton allows the skin to breathe, and lycra helps the fabric maintain its shape. Nylon makes the fabric more durable and long lasting.

Moms love Nowali moccasins because they are easy to put on and the stay on - no more lost shoes !
