Domyos bootees are designed to be worn indoors (on dry, smooth surfaces). Just slip them on without socks for optimal contact with the ground. The nerves on the bottom of the feet will "feel" the floor to help children find their balance.

Walking barefoot is best for babies so they can learn to recognise tactile sensations. The nerves located under the foot help to determine where the body weight should be distributed to help stay balanced. Domyos bootees are wide and flexible, allowing your baby's feet to grow and become stronger unrestricted while also protecting them from the cold or dangerous surfaces. All our baby shoes are specifically designed for babies' feet.

What is baby gym?Baby gym consists in doing fun gym activities on obstacle courses with specially designed equipment for children, with gym teachers leading the activities. These obstacle courses are made up of various apparatus built to be safe for very young children (beams, steps, sloped ramps, parallel bars, tunnels, rollers and more) that allow children to climb, slide, jump, balance, etc.Baby gym activities from 10 months to 6 years.

What are the benefits of baby gym?Baby gym promotes psychomotor development in young children, especially the development of motor skills, coordination and balance. Balancing on beams, jumping, rolling and climbing are activities that help your child to develop autonomy and confidence.

What should your child wear for baby gym?A comfortable outfit that's appropriate for the season: a soft-knit T-shirt and shorts or bottoms, and a jacket or tracksuit for warming up. And lastly, to avoid slipping on the gym equipment, a pair of Domyos bootees.

How to choose your size?A proper fit is extremely important: a smaller or bigger size (even by 5 mm!) is not advisable. Shoes that are too small can injure the ankle and toes or rub the skin, while shoes that are too big can change the child's gait and cause blisters. Between ages 1 and 2, children's feet will grow about 1 shoe size every 3 to 4 months. Remember to regularly check their shoe size.
