Bella Pre/First Walker Mary Jane Shoes Metallic Gold

Add a little sparkle to every step with the SKEANIE Mary Janes Metallic Gold Baby and Toddler Shoes—the perfect blend of style, comfort, and healthy foot support. Whether you're shopping for shoes for newborns, pre-walker shoes, or first walker shoes, this shimmering pair is designed to meet the needs of every early stage.

Handmade from buttery-soft leather with a metallic gold finish, these baby shoes provide a flexible, breathable fit that’s gentle on delicate feet. A secure hook-and-loop closure and elasticized ankle collar ensure these shoes stay on during all that crawling, cruising, and early walking. With removable insoles, they’re easy to clean or swap for orthotics as needed.

Please note: Metallic leathers are created using a hot foil press, giving them their stunning shine. However, they are more delicate than regular leather—scratches may expose the natural leather beneath, and re-foiling is not possible. These shoes are perfect for special occasions and light wear.

Recommended by Australian podiatrists and awarded the APMA Seal of Acceptance, SKEANIE shoes are designed to support the natural development of growing feet. These first walker shoes and pre-walker shoes encourage healthy movement with their barefoot-inspired, flexible sole. Lightweight yet supportive, they’re ideal for children just beginning to take their first steps.

Why proper footwear matters: A baby’s foot contains more cartilage than bone and undergoes rapid development in the first few years. Children’s feet sweat twice as much as adults’ and experience three times the stress, making breathable, podiatrist-approved baby shoes and toddler shoes a must.

Care Instructions:
Spray with a water and stain repellent before use. Wipe clean with a damp cloth or leather wipe. Use leather conditioner or polish to maintain softness and color. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Thoughtfully designed in Australia and ethically Fair Trade made, the SKEANIE Mary Janes Metallic Gold are the ideal choice for parents looking for safe, stylish shoes for newborns, baby shoes, and toddler shoes. Perfect for every special moment—because their first steps deserve to shine.

• Ensure your child’s foot is relaxed before measuring.
• Measure towards the end of the day to ensure foot is at it’s largest.
• 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.
• DO NOT add to your child’s foot length as wriggle room has been factored in.
• Whilst we have tried our best to make our sizing guide as accurate as possible, the sizing of our shoes may vary slightly between designs.
• *Approx. Age - please note that this is an approximate only and we cannot guarantee that the size will fit the approximate age bracket. We recommend using the Maximum Foot Length measurement.

SKEANIE leather shoes and boots are made from soft, comfortable leather and feature thin, flexible rubber and/or suede soles as this is recommend for growing feet. As our shoes are made from soft leather, they should be worn for special occasions or dress shoes. Our shoes are made from soft leather, which will scuff when scrapped along a rough surface.

They do enjoy walking, running and playing; however they do not like getting wet, being used as brakes on your bike or scooter, kicking a footy, climbing trees or walking through mud and dirt.

We recommend that you spray your SKEANIE footwear with a Shucare Water and Stain Repellent prior to wear. The best way to keep your SKEANIE footwear looking bright and new is to simply wipe over with a clean damp cloth or leather wipe. Applying Shucare Leather Conditioner and Renovating Polish will assist with maintaining their softness and colour. SKEANIE footwear should never be placed in the washing machine or dryer.

Metallic leathers are created using a hot press technique in which foil is bonded to the leather. Metallics are not as durable as regular leathers, and if the foil is scratched it will expose the leather underneath. There is no process we know of to re-foil shoes, so please tread with care!

Introducing your little one to the world is an amazing feeling. As a parent, you want to make sure they have the best of everything – including shoes. But with leather shoes, there’s a little bit of extra care that needs to be taken to make sure they stay looking their best.

Gentle Stain Repellent for Shoes

When it comes to keeping our shoes looking their best, a little preventative care goes a long way. And one of the best ways to do that is by using a gentle stain repellent.

SKEANIE's gentle stain repellent is made specifically for leather baby shoes, and it's formulated to repel water, dirt, and stains. It's easy to use and will help keep footwear looking clean and new. Plus, it's safe for all types of shoes, including leather and suede. So no matter what type you have, you can protect them with this gentle repellent.

Shoe Polish Kits Keep Your Leather Shoes Looking New

First, it’s important to choose the right shoe care products. We recommend using a cleaner and conditioner like our Natural Leather Conditioner & Patent Cleaner. This product is specifically designed for baby shoes and is gentle enough for even the most delicate leather.

To use, simply apply a small amount of cleaner to a clean, dry cloth and rub it into the leather in a circular motion. Once the shoes are clean, apply a little conditioner to another clean, dry cloth and rub it into the leather. This will help to protect the leather and keep it looking its best. 

Once you’ve applied the cleaner and conditioner, you can use a shoe brush to buff the shoes and give them a little extra shine. 

Caring for Metallic Leathers 

We love these Toddler & Children's Leather Mary-Jane Shoes in Metallic Gold, and we want you to love them for years to come, too!

Metallic leathers are created using a hot press technique in which foil is bonded to the leather. There is no process to re-foil shoes, so please tread with care! To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth. To maintain, regularly buff with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, apply some Renovating Shoe Polish to a soft cloth and wipe evenly over the surface.
