Life With Bobux

It is tremendously exciting (and slightly nerve-racking) when you first see signs that your baby is ready to start walking on their own. After all, it’s officially the time when your little one transforms into a toddler!

Every milestone in your child's life is exciting for the whole family. Taking their first steps, joining their first sports team, getting ready for their first day at school – what provides the best support and comfort throughout these monumental occasions? 

Getting the right winter boots are essential for your toddlers. With so many options available, what should you be looking for in order to find winter boots which are warm, comfortable but can also handle the day to day life of your toddler? Bobux are the experts when it comes to finding the best toddler winter boots and footwear for your young children. Our winter boots are podiatrist approved and specially designed for natural growth and protection.

Every parent knows it’s impossible to avoid dirty school shoes. So when the inevitable does happen, it helps to be prepared with the right cleaning strategy and cleaning tools. The Bobux School Shoes range are made from leather which can make it easier to remove mud and other substances but there are still some tricks to cleaning leather that you should know. We will also review how to remove unwanted odors and minimise school shoes from getting dirty in the first place.

Choosing kids shoes constructed from the right materials for their needs is really important. Kids feet need support, breathability and flexibility, ensuring that their shoes are specifically constructed from quality materials has many benefits. So what is the best material for kids shoes? This depends on the style of shoe and the needs of the child. Generally natural materials such as leather, suede, cotton and rubber are great materials.

We're passionate (and maybe a little bit obsessed :P ) with helping little ones put their best foot forward. So this International Women's Day we couldn't pass up a chance celebrate a few of the clever women in the Bobux team and find out what this year's theme of #BreakTheBias means to them, which women inspire them and what words of wisdom they’d offer to the next generation... and of course, the wonderful people raising them.

Bobux soft soles are a worldwide favourite for little feet. Bobux Soft Sole is the original all-leather, ultra-soft shoe that gently protects and comforts babies’ growing feet without being restricting or rigid. Little feet need to be protected, but they also need the freedom to grow and develop naturally, the Bobux founders designed the Original Soft Sole almost 30 years ago to be like a second skin.

When it comes to preparing and packing lunches for school we can often be confused about what to include, especially when it comes to fussy eaters. We have teamed up with our friend @thelunchbox.mama to get some tips and inspiration for creating healthy and well balanced lunches for your littles ones.

So many questions come to mind when purchasing your little one’s shoes for kindergarten and preschool. Should I be investing in the most expensive brand? Do I opt for hook and loop, buckles or laces? Do the cheaper brands offer enough support? When kids are active and running around at kindergarten, you want to ensure that their feet are comfortable and supported all day. Preschool can be demanding on little feet, which need protection and tailored support to avoid injuries.

The back to school period can be both exciting and daunting at the same time. Getting the uniforms, backpacks, books, school supplies and having their shoes fitted is only part of the process of preparing your little ones for their next steps in their educational journey. We have spoken to some members of the Bobux community to get some insights into how they make sure their little learners are ready for the first day of school.
