Our shoes are crafted with your child's developing feet in mind, offering zero drop, wide toe boxes, and flexible soles to encourage natural movement and growth. As Dr. Kelly Owens, a podiatrist specializing in pediatric foot care, explains, "Children's feet are not just smaller versions of adult feet. They are unique structures that are still developing and require proper support and movement to grow and develop properly."


Our 100% leather shoes ensure that your child's feet stay cool and comfortable, even during active play. Plus, our elastic laces make getting the shoes on and off a breeze, while optional laces are available for purchase for added security.

But don't just take our word for it! As Dr. Owens notes, "Barefoot shoes allow children's feet to develop strength and flexibility, which can help prevent foot problems later in life." So whether your little one is taking their first steps or running around the playground, trust Little Love Bug Co. to provide the support and style they need. Plus, all of our moccs come in a convenient cotton dust bag for easy storage or gifting.

Measure your little bug’s foot from heel to big toe and take a look at the size chart below.

* The measurements are precise from heel to toe (bottom of shoe) so add an extra 1/4 inch for normal feet and a 1/2 inch for wide/chubby little feet to get the correct size. Love Bugs are worn and look best when fitted close to your baby’s foot to aide in learning to walk - If they are too big (too much extra length or "growing room") makes for tripping.

Leslie's Recommendation for Sizing (how to measure your little's feet):

  1. TRACE BOTH FEET: Have your little bug stand on a blank sheet of paper (you might need a helper to hold your little while you trace).
  2. Using a pen, marker, or pencil (whatever you are most comfortable with) - trace the outline of BOTH feet.
  3. They wiggle and move a lot at this age, so if you need to do it twice to make sure the markings are accurate – do that now!
  4. MEASURE: Use a ruler to measure from the outside of the heel to the tip of the big toe on both feet. Write the number down in inches and label it as length.
  5. CONSULT: Sizing chart below, as it's important to note that "3-6 months" etc. is purely an average of the ages and sizes can actually vary quite a bit based off your little.
  6. REMEMBER – many babies feet are different sizes as they develop. Measure each foot individually to find a size that's sure to fit!
