Bella Pre/First Walker Mary Jane Shoes Metallic Silver
Add a touch of sparkle to your little one’s step with our Metallic Silver Bella Mary Jane baby shoes – a beautiful blend of elegance, comfort, and expert design.
Handcrafted from premium, genuine leather, these pre walker shoes are soft, supportive, and gentle on delicate feet. They feature a secure hook and loop closure and an elasticised ankle collar for a snug, comfortable fit. The removable insoles make cleaning a breeze and can also accommodate orthotics for added support.
Podiatrist-designed and approved in Australia, these first walker shoes are built on barefoot principles to support natural foot development – and proudly carry the APMA Seal of Acceptance for trusted quality.
Special Care for Metallic Leather:
Our metallic finish is created using a hot-press foil technique for a shiny, eye-catching effect. While stunning, metallic leather is more delicate than standard leather and may show wear if scratched. Please treat with care – unfortunately, re-foiling isn’t possible.
Care Instructions:
- Spray with a water and stain repellent before first wear
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth or leather wipe
- Use a leather-renewing polish to maintain softness and colour
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry

- Ensure your child’s foot is relaxed before measuring.

- Place your child’s foot on a piece of paper
- Draw a line at the heel and at the big toe - measure the foot length in mm.

Leather Shoe Care
Keep Their First Shoes Looking Beautiful
To help your SKEANIE shoes stay stylish, comfortable, and long-lasting, follow our simple care guide:
What to Avoid:
- Getting the shoes wet or muddy
- Using them as bike or scooter brakes
- Kicking balls or rough play on concrete
- Walking through dirt, sand, or uneven terrain
- Machine washing or tumble drying
General Shoe Care Tips:
- Spray with a gentle water and stain repellent before first use
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth or leather-safe wipe after each wear
- Apply leather conditioner and renovating polish to maintain softness and colour
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use
Dealing with Scuffing on Soft Leather
Scuffing is natural with soft leather shoes—especially on rough surfaces. While it doesn’t damage the integrity of the shoe, it can affect the appearance. Here’s how to reduce and repair scuff marks:
- Use a colour-matched polish to touch up visible marks
- Apply a leather conditioner regularly to nourish and restore the leather
- Avoid dragging toes or scraping against pavement
- Reserve shoes for clean, dry surfaces where possible
Caring for Metallic Leather Shoes
Metallic leather shoes, like our beautiful Mary-Jane styles in Gold and Silver, require extra care. These finishes are created using a heat-bonded foil that cannot be reapplied once scratched.
To clean and maintain metallic leather:
- Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth
- Buff regularly with a dry, soft cloth to restore shine
- Use a small amount of Renovating Polish if needed, applied with a cloth in light, even strokes
Please tread carefully with metallics to preserve their delicate finish.
