About Inch Blue

Since 1999, Inch Blue has been nestled in the heart of the South Wales Valleys, handcrafting beautiful leather shoes designed to let little feet breathe, move, and explore. We passionately believed in a barefoot start, shaping every pair to nurture muscle strength, flexibility, and confidence as babies take those first amazing steps. Every shoe is lovingly handmade to order, from the first cut of supple leather to the final stitch. With hundreds of adorable styles, finding the perfect match for tiny adventurers is wonderfully easy! Nurturing Natural Foot Development: Our Barefoot Shoes Our barefoot shoes are crafted to follow the natural shape of a baby’s foot. Made from soft, breathable leather and supple suede, each pair features a flexible sole—either a lightweight suede version or a “Gripz” rubber option. An elasticated collar hugs the ankle for a secure, slip free fit, so the shoes stay on even during the most enthusiastic wiggles.Read their story
