Making a success of your first steps with <tc>Pom d'Api</tc>.

At the house of Pom d'Api, we know that everything starts with your child's first steps. It's the beginning of their journey toward independence and confidence.

That's why, for over 50 years, we've been supporting children's journeys with first-step shoes specially designed for this fundamental stage.

Walking, a key step for the development of the child

Learning to walk involves several stages that help children strengthen their muscles, become more toned, improve their coordination, and find their balance. Whether sitting, crawling, or walking on all fours, each child develops their own unique rhythm and way of moving.

Then comes the long-awaited moment of first steps, when the child places one foot in front of the other to take the plunge. This is an essential phase that should not be rushed, as the foot is a very sensitive part of the body.
