Duckies® are lightweight, flexible first-walker shoes made for babies and toddlers. They suit little feet that are just learning to walk, featuring a roomy toe box, a breathable knit upper, and a grippy rubber sole built for daily play. According to the current size guide, sizes span about 6 months to 3 years and beyond, depending on fit.
• Socks aren't required, though you can wear them if you prefer
• Simple slip-on style
• Very flexible, ideal from the first steps through high-energy play
• Super lightweight
• Machine washable
• Non-slip rubber sole with great grip
What age are Duckies Slip-Ons for?
Duckies are designed for babies and toddlers who are learning to walk, roughly from around 9 months up to 3 years depending on foot length and size chosen.
How should they fit?
We recommend a snug heel and enough room to wiggle toes, with about a thumb-width of space in front of the longest toe so little feet can grow.
Can my child wear them without socks?
Yes, the soft, breathable knit upper is comfortable on bare feet, and many parents use them without socks, especially in warmer weather.
Are they OK for daycare and outdoor play?
The grippy rubber sole is made for everyday use on tiles, floorboards, playgrounds, and footpaths, so they work well for daycare and trips outside.
How do I wash Duckies?
Pop them in a cold machine wash inside a laundry bag, then air dry out of direct sun – they dry quickly and are ready for the next adventure.
Duckies shoes have been independently tested and officially endorsed by a practising paediatric podiatrist, not as a paid partnership but based on their design.
They are built around the key features recommended in children’s footwear for new walkers: flexible, lightweight soles, wide toe area, and room for little feet to move, spread, and develop naturally. Approved for new walkers and young children, Duckies focus on healthy foot development rather than stiff “supportive” fashion styles.

Introducing The Wiggles x Duckies. 🎶
Four pairs of shoes. Four iconic colours. One very legendary collab.
Each pair in the collection is inspired by The Wiggle's’ uniform shades, Evie and Tsehay's sunshine yellow, Simon and Caterina’s's rosy red, Anthony and Lucia's classic blue, and John and Lachys's cool purple. First steps are magical, but first dance? That's something else entirely.

Are Duckies® a good shoe for babies and toddlers?
Yes! Duckies® are designed for babies and toddlers aged 6 months to 3 years, especially little ones learning to walk.
They’re lightweight, flexible and roomy, helping support natural foot movement without feeling stiff or clunky. The wide toe box gives little toes space to spread and balance, while the soft, breathable upper keeps them comfy for everyday wear.
Duckies® are also machine washable, making them a practical first-walker shoe for daycare, playtime and all the messy adventures in between.
Supports healthy foot growth
Duckies have a wide toe box that allows for their growing toes to move freely, supporting healthy foot development. And the lightweight, breathable knit uppers to avoid overheating and rubbing.
Easy machine washable
Simply throw your duckies in a cold, gentle wash at the end of the day to keep them fresh and hygienic.
Are Duckies recommended for first-time walkers?
Yes! Duckies are specifically designed for first-time walkers and early toddlers who are learning to stand, and take independent steps.
Our shoes feature a wide toe box, highly flexible sole and super lightweight construction to support natural foot movement and healthy foot development in those crucial first walking months.
The breathable knit upper hugs the foot gently without restricting growth, while the grippy non-slip rubber sole helps prevent slips on tiles, playgrounds and outdoor surfaces. Duckies are trusted by over 150,000+ parents around the world, and recommended as everyday shoes for babies and toddlers starting to walk and exploring the world on their own two feet.
What age are Duckies shoes designed for?
Duckies shoes are designed for babies and toddlers from the first steps stage through to confident walkers who are running and playing. They are ideal for little ones roughly in the 6–36 month range, depending on when your child begins walking and how quickly they grow.
The combination of a soft, breathable mesh knit upper, wide toe box and flexible sole makes Duckies suitable for new walkers, early walkers and active toddlers who need everyday footwear for daycare, playgrounds and outdoor adventures.
