Sensory Response Technology was incorporated into this collection to help young walkers feel the ground beneath their feet. Retracting pods were embedded in the outsole to provide a sensory experience for toddlers exploring new terrain. The outsole tread design allowed for multi-directional flexibility, while the uppers featured premium leather and seamless construction to cradle the natural shape of the foot.
