As soon as the baby clings to stand up or holds onto their parents to walk, their foot needs good support. The heel counter of GBB shoes provides this support. They must acquire the necessary balance to learn to roll their foot properly and strengthen it, which is why GBB soles remain quite thin and flexible for this stage of learning to walk. The Abrico model also features a leather lining and insole, which helps absorb moisture from perspiration. Finally, tabs allow the shoe to open wide, making it easier to put on the child's foot.
