Choosing your baby’s first shoes is an important step: comfort, flexibility, and quality materials all play a role in supporting healthy foot development.
A key feature to look for in baby moccasins is a soft driving-style rubber outsole, which offers gentle grip and easy movement without stiffness: a signature element found across all Atlanta Mocassin baby styles.
This guide highlights the essential features to consider when selecting moccasins for babies, with suggestions from our Baby Mocs and First Walker collections to help parents choose the best option for their little ones.
1. If you need an easy, everyday shoe
Some babies simply need a soft, comfortable shoe they can wear all day without fuss. The Baby Mocs Monaco, distinguished by their white vamp, offer a clean look that pairs with any outfit. They slip on easily and feel gentle on the foot, making them perfect for daily use.
The Baby Mocs Marbella, featuring a white lace, provide that same level of comfort but with a slightly more decorative touch. Despite the added detail, they remain flexible and suitable for all-day wear.
2. If your baby needs a more secure fit
Babies who wiggle, crawl frequently, or pull off their shoes often benefit from designs with a closer, more secure hold.
The Baby Mocs Marbella naturally offer better grip on the foot thanks to the lace detail, which brings the upper slightly closer around the top of the foot.
For even more adjustability, the Baby Strap Mocs include a fastening strap that allows parents to customise the fit, making them ideal for both narrow and wider feet, and for active babies who need their shoes to stay put.
3. If you want a classic, structured look
Some parents prefer a more refined, traditional style for their baby’s first shoes.
The 032 Baby Mocs, with their penny strap, recreate the timeless penny loafer in a baby-friendly, soft version. They offer a polished look while remaining lightweight.
The 015 Walkers, designed with a plain vamp, provide a modern silhouette that looks elegant while still supporting early walking stages.
4. If you need extra warmth or coverage
When temperatures drop or when babies need a bit more ankle protection, boot-style moccasins are a great fit.
The Baby Fringed Boots add personality with their fringe detail while offering more coverage around the ankle, making them suitable for cooler days.
For a simpler option, the Baby Boots deliver the same level of protection in a clean, fuss-free design.
5. If your baby is beginning to walk confidently
As babies move from early steps to more stable walking, they benefit from shoes with gentle structure while still being flexible.
The Mocassin Boots offer a slightly higher cut that supports the ankle without restricting natural movement.
The Mary Janes combine a secure strap with a classic silhouette that transitions easily from everyday wear to special occasions.
The 015 Walkers also work well in this stage thanks to their soft flexibility paired with a more “walker-ready” design.
Whatever your baby’s needs, there’s an Atlanta Mocassin style ready to make their first steps comfortable, supported, and beautifully simple.
