About Kavat

For over eighty years, Kavat has stood for high quality, solid craftsmanship, and continuous innovation in shoemaking. The journey began as early as 1945 in a small shoe factory in Kumla, where the foundation for the brand’s strong heritage was laid. With a clear vision of creating durable and high‑quality footwear, Ragnar Karlsson founded Skofabriken Ymer – the beginning of what is today Kavat, a well‑known name in Swedish quality footwear.

What should you look for in baby walking shoes and first walking shoes?

If you are looking for baby walking shoes, first walking shoes, first steps shoes or soft baby shoes that support small feet, this collection brings together gentle materials and calm Nordic design. First walking shoes need to be steady, flexible and shaped so the foot can move naturally. These baby shoes use soft leather, light soles and simple closures that make them easy to put on and take off. They also work well as pre walkers shoes for early, careful steps.

Many parents ask how first walking shoes should fit. The shoe should follow the foot, leave space for growing toes and feel comfortable from the first step. Our size guide shows how to measure the foot and choose the right length, with inner measurements for each model so you can find a safe and natural fit.

Within this selection, Newbie x Kavat shoes add crafted leather sandals and first walking shoes with thoughtful details for everyday use. Hällevik is a light sandal for warmer days, while Edsbro is a supportive walking shoe with a slightly narrower fit.

These baby and toddler shoes follow children through early steps, outdoor play and small daily adventures. And with simple care, the leather grows softer over time. Match Newbie x Kavat shoes with Newbie clothing and let small feet move freely, season after season.
