The first shoes a child wears matter more than most parents realise, both for healthy foot development and for giving little ones the confidence to explore the world on their own two feet. The Ricosta Chrisy is built with exactly that in mind: a beautifully crafted pre-walker boot that supports natural movement, fits properly, and is kind to both young feet and the environment.
German brand Ricosta has long been trusted by specialist children's shoe retailers for the quality and care that goes into every pair and the Chrisy is a fine example of their approach. The premium leather upper and lining are ecologically and environmentally friendly, free from hazardous preservatives and chrome VI free, an important consideration for parents who are conscious of what goes next to their baby's sensitive skin. It's the kind of detail that quietly sets Ricosta apart from mass-market alternatives.
The double rip-tape fastening makes getting the boot on and off straightforward without losing a secure fit around the ankle, and the removable leather footbed supports the natural shape of a developing foot. For families who use prescribed insoles or orthotics, the removable footbed means the Chrisy can accommodate these without compromise. Underfoot, the natural rubber sole is exceptionally light and flexible, bending with every small step while absorbing the impact of early, unsteady walking. A protective toe-bumper adds a layer of durability exactly where little walkers need it most.
The Chrisy is unisex and available in a range of colours, making it a versatile choice for first walkers of any age. At WJ French & Son, our fitting team have years of experience in first shoe fitting and can measure your child's foot in both length and width to ensure the Chrisy is the right fit for their individual foot shape, a step that really does make a difference at this crucial stage of development.
