Pre walker shoes are suitable for babies for when they can crawl confidently alone, or are beginning to move around using items like furniture to aid moving from one point to another. They are truly special shoes and come in ballerina, booties, lace-ups and mini taps, inspired by the ladies fashion range and made of luxurious Italian leather. These shoes have been skilfully crafted for protecting your baby's delicate developing feet and for style and comfort.

The company was originally founded in Sydney, Australia in 1932. Jacob Bloch arrived in Australia at the height of the great depression in 1931. He lived and worked in his shop as he began hand making shoes. He enjoyed watching ballet and visiting dance studios, this is where he came upon a young dancer whom had trouble staying on pointe, he promised the dancer he would make her a better pair of shoes and that is what he did. Jacob's name soon spread and in the late 1930's many overseas ballet companies toured Australia including De Basil's Monte Carlo Russian Ballet. He made customised shoes for many dancers including Baranova and Lichine, to fit their own specifications.

Today the Bloch family still listen intently to the needs of dancers around the world, as they try to design both functional and aesthetically pleasing products.
