Attipas Shoes

9 Adidas and 1 Tommy Hilfiger

People said babies can only wear shoes after 1 year old. So I heard. Then there came 10 pairs of shoes of different sizes from the US trip for lo from lo's aunt. And one of it is just nice for now, but then... they are not suppose to wear shoes before 1 year right? So I thought. And when already have these many, I did not intend to buy more (at least for now).

One day my friend was getting 2 bees rompers for her son. And before that he has owned a bee swimsuit. So I asked, why are you making your son into a bee?

Then she said, because I bought this shoes.... So she sent me the pic of a Yellow Rainbow shoes. Looks interesting I thought. I asked where she bought, she said Isetan KLCC. Then later sent me Tinker Toddler link and youtube regarding this Attipas shoes.

My question to her, isn't it cant wear shoes before 1 year old? She said it's like socks and soft shoes.
Next question when I got to know that retail price is RM90 and online price is RM80 + delivery fees RM7 (above RM200 free delivery), is it a waste because the price is actually for the functionality of the shoes and now he cannot walk yet, then she said that she bought M size which would have probably last till her lo at 1yo (the website stated up to 18months for M).

And seeing the functionality of the shoes from the youtube link, I felt that this is really something good especially designed for prewalker and toddlers. And my initial intention of not getting any more shoes got diverted:

A quick summary of Attipas shoes:

Lo first two Attipas

"Patented Toddler Walking Shoes from Korea!
Specially researched (for 7 years)& designed by Seoul University
A world first in toddlers shoes.

Functional toddler shoes which target ages from 3 months to 40 months to help walking quality of growth phased by babies.

The five key benefits of wearing Attipas shoes include:
1. Convenience: Strong, Smooth, Non-Slip, Machine Washable, Fast-Drying
2. Breathable: Superior breathable fine holes release heat (International Patent)
3. Big Toe Box: Free toe movement to improve cognitive and motor development
4. Safety: Non use of hazardous materials and adhesives, no use of Formaldehyde
5. Lightweight & Flexible: Super lightweight, just like wearing socks!

Attipas means Happy Rob Walker the name Attipas is derived from the words ‘Atti’ (Korean for ‘Precious Friend’), and ‘Pas’ (French for ‘Walk’).
In toddler speak, Attipas means Happy Walk!"

So I got these 2 shoes from KLCC Expo after failing to get from Isetan 1U (they no longer there) for lo to wear to an event hosted by us to attend that night. Lo cannot walk yet, but I find that the shoes is very attractive piece to match the outfit. 

If you are able to wait for few days delivery, you may get it from the website below which is cheaper than the retail price RM90. http://www.tinkertoddler.com/

And about the myth of toddler can only wear shoes after 1 year, I further googled and found a closely logical answer which is that wearing shoes at early age may hinder the development of the toddlers leg. Which I personally think it is not a problem with Attipas since it has much room for the toe movement.

I then recommended to my colleague and she recommended to another... now both of my colleagues are getting them for the little ones too!
