Styles
Jodphur Boot
It's just a favourite year after year, this year with a couple of shimmery styles for the girls. Often bought with handing down to boys and girls in mind. Classic look with a zip on the inside of the leg. An average to narrow fit & not so good for those with a higher arch. Wear them, like most boots, with pants, skirts and leggings, everything really.
Desert Boot
Another style that gets updated every year. Good on a average to wider foot - it's leather & leather lined with a big velcro tab. And as boots can be a bit harder to get on & off, this one open ups wide.Ā We had it on a child with a very wide foot & HIGH arch & it wasn't high enough at the top of the foot.
Signet Boot
Another unisex boot and again good on a average to wider foot - it's leather & leather lined with aĀ zip on the inside leg.Ā We had it on a child with a very wide foot & chunky legs and found that the fit around the ankle was a bit restrictive when walking - BUT - absolutely perfect on a average to wider foot.
Shire Boot
There are 2 versions of this leather upper boot - 1 is leather lined & the other, fluffy merino lined. Pick your's based on how cold it is were you are. Higher up the leg, so can be a bit restrictive on those toddlers with shorter legs. Another 'goes anywhere, goes with everything' style.
Timber Boot
This a was new last winter now with more colours.Ā Leather lined, however the Black is NubuckĀ with a waxy finish & the Mustard Nubuck ( has a furry feel) so it you are worried about keeping it clean then think about choosing a different colour :). Unisex boot good on a average to wider foot it has a single strap around the ankle. This is the style that fit well on ourĀ child with a very wide foot, high archĀ & chunky legs. No restrictionĀ when walking, he looked the most comfortable in this style. The Navy, Pink, & Olive are smooth leather, so easier to wipe clean.
Apsen Boot
It's WATERPROOF and has velcro, plus a zip on the inside of the leg. Also fluffy warm merino lining to keep those toes toasty warm, but could be a bit too warm for those in the upper North Island. Fab for the colder climates. Higher up the leg & can be a bit restrictive on some toddlers with shorter legs.
Paddington Boot
The NEWĀ WATERPROOFĀ (for 4 hours)Ā boot with a zip on the inside of the leg & a bit of has a gusset at the back of the leg which looks quite comfy. Warm merino fabric lined and a real firm favourite all ready - especially the yellow. Dry naturally. Action leather so coated to extra durability.Ā
I-Walk hold a special place in the heart of Bobux designers. At this stage children are starting to have more of a say in what shoes they want to wear so, aesthetically, we get to have a bit of fun.Ā

Of course there is much that needs to be taken into account at this critical stage. Running and jumping poses interesting design challenges along with the less obvious mental development going on at this stage.Ā

Based on Bobuxā expert foot health foundations and styled to demand attention, itās no surprise I-Walk have been such a massive hit around the world.
Consider - Waterproofness
Waterproof?
Worried about the wet and cold? Consider these waterproof styles.
Grass Court trainer ( careful there are waterproof & non waterproof versions)
Aspen Boot ( with merino fluffy lining)
Paddington Boot
Water Resistant.
Leather uppers, while not water proof are more resistant than canvas
Mary Janes, Trainers, Boots & T Bars offer that little bit of extra protection from the elements.
Consider - Width
Narrower?
As we are a nation of slightly wider feet, it can be hard to find shoes suitable for a narrow width. While not be specifically narrow, some Bobux styles may fit.
Try:
- Boston Trainer
- Jodphur Boot
- Delight Mary JaneĀ
- ATKIV's
Average.
Most styles will be fab on the average (and slightly chubby) toddler foot.
Though the Jodphur boot will probably be be a little bit of a squeeze (not so good for a growing foot) for those that are a little wider and/or have a higher arch.
