Ethan is not a big fan of shoes. In the past 6 months I have purchased three shoes which we barely use because he gets cranky when we put them on. When we do get him to wear them, they either come off easily or he stops a lot when he walks, probably because he’s uncomfortable. I tried slip-ons with leather soles, tiny squeaky rubber shoes and some cheap slip-ons with socks.
Now that Ethan is becoming increasingly active, I’ve come to realize that he needs a good pair of shoes. He spends a lot of time walking and running, and he needs durable yet comfortable shoes that he can wear at home and outdoors. I was so lucky when Mommy Bloggers Philippines and Attipas Philippines gave us the opportunity to try out the Attipas Baby Shoes, the timing could not have been more perfect!
Attipas Baby Functional Shoes are designed to teach our babies how to walk correctly while providing comfort, durability and safety. They come in different styles and colors, too!
Attipas Baby Functional Shoes is aimed at helping babies to start walking correctly by evenly distributing foot pressure and correct toddler’s walking behavior while he/she learns to walk. The design is based on kinetic and physio-dynamic test of toddlers’ walking that enables the steady and stable walking pattern of the toddler. It also helps in the toddler’s brain development by enabling the sole and toe movement while walking.

Too cute, right? Imagine how excited I was when Attipas Philippines sent us a pair for Ethan!

| Check out the cool packaging! |

| Ethan’s very own Attipas! They sent us one from the Natural Herb Collection in Yellow Gray |
They arrived just a day before our big trip to Subic! Again, perfect timing!
When we had Ethan try them out, he was fussy at first and he tried to stop me from putting them on! But as soon as we got the shoes on, he started walking as if nothing happened. He did stare at the shoes at first, but then he went back to running around. Here are a few things I noticed:
- He does not constantly stop anymore, like he did with his old shoes.
- They don’t slip off like most slip-ons with socks do. He had them on for a couple of hours and they did not come off at all.
- He did not get itchy or irritable from the socks, he usually does not like wearing socks!
- He rarely trips or falls down.
During our two days in Subic I had him wear the shoes every time we’d go out. I can honestly say that based on our observations, these shoes are barely noticeable to him.

| A budding model in action! |

| Their Red Marine design would be perfect with his outfit here!! |
Upon checking the pamphlet they included in the package, I realized that there is a special benefit to the Natural Herb variant that they sent us:
“Natural Herb yellow is dyed with Amur Corktree. Amur Corktree is one of the most frequently used medical substance from old days. It is known to have outstanding effect for skin drying and sensitive skin. For contemporary people who pursue well-being, natural dye is a great gift. These natural dye will be a present to children with skin trouble like atopy inflammation”
What are the odds that they would send me shoes with such benefits? My son has skin asthma and has patches of eczema on his feet and legs. Come to think of it, this morning I noticed that the patches in the crease between his left foot and leg were gone – completely gone. I’m not sure if I can attribute it to the shoes, or to the salt water when we hit the beach – or both? I can’t tell. But the fact that they could incorporate such healing properties to shoes is just amazing.
All I can say is that these shoes are awesome and true to Attipas’ claims! I still have to observe though if there are any signs of improvement in the way he walks. I checked out Attipas on Lazada and they go for P899 to P1000+. Some of you mommies may find them expensive, but I’m telling you, they are worth it. You just can’t find shoes that offer so much.
Okay, mommies. Let’s sum it up, here are a few more amazing things about Attipas Baby Functional Shoes:
PROS
- Easy to put on – goodbye to velcro straps and shoelaces!
- Lightweight and flexible – perfect for active babies
- They don’t easily slip off, they stay put!
- Non-slip – thanks to it’s Silicone soles
- Comfortable and breathable
- Safe for babies – made from 100% non-toxic materials, No hazardous materials and no glue or adhesives, no use of Formaldehyde
- Easy to carry in your baby’s bag, they aren’t bulky
- Easy to clean – they’re machine washable and they dry fast
- They come in a lot of designs! They have collections such as Rainbow, Animal, Corsage, Ballet, Marine, Together, Sneakers, Polka, and Natural Hurb!
CONS
I honestly can’t think of any. Some might say price, but I’d definitely buy Ethan another pair without hesitation. And with everything listed above, I can’t come up with any reason to dislike these shoes.

Cute design, sis! Super comfy indeed. 🙂
Yes, sis! I can tell he’s really comfortable with them! 🙂
Thanks for dropping by!
Best,
Nicole
that is the cutest!!!! love them baby shoes! i wonder if it will work with my 3 year old pa…he hates wearing shoes.
Hi Mommy May,
It’s worth trying out, si Ethan he really hated his bulky shoes, yung may velcro straps. The Attipas is more comfortable, it’s designed to make kids feel like they’re walking barefoot. I hope it works for your kid if you decide to buy, let me know how it goes! 🙂
Regards,
Nicole
Good to know it’s made actually for babies! Love the shoes, and he looks so cute in it!
besos,

Yes, specifically designed to improve their motor and cognitive development! 🙂
My son’s name is Ethan also. This shoes is really cute. When my son was 1yr old below, I don’t buy shoes and I always use socks that look like shoes. 🙂
Ethan is a handsome name! 🙂 Even my Ethan does not like typical shoes, the sock-like shoes are easier to put on. Kaso they tend to slip off, not the Attipas though!
Your model is so adorable! These look really snug and if my kid was small, I’ll buy a cute design for her.
Thanks Cym, my camera loves him! 🙂
My hubby is the shoe addict in the family and he prefers boots for our daughter. I find them cute for OOTDs but not comfy for walking. I think he will love these shoes and pwede ako mag request ng budget. Haha.

Paulline, the designs for girls are soooo adorable! You must buy a pair, convince the hubby! Haha. But I’m sure your daughter will feel comfy in them.
Gah, your pair looks so cute! I’m so excited to get mine! I was actually wondering whether it’d be fit for outdoor use, but you seemed to use it outdoors, so I’m even more excited haha 😀
It does hold up pretty well outdoors. Though I’m not sure how it will do in soil and mud, haven’t tried it yet. Ayoko kasi madumihan pa, haha.
Ethan is really rocking the Attipas shoes. I also got Attipas for review too. I want the red polka dot design for my daughter tuloy 🙂
What design did you get? The designs for girls are too cute! Like the Attipas Corsage!
Your model looks so adorable! Love ’em cheeks! The shoes look comfy too!
Thanks! I’m wondering if they’ll make Attipas for adults, I’m curious about how comfortable they are! Haha
I guess I should buy my niece!
I’m sure she’ll love them!

Hi Nicole! Ethan is truly a blessing! His adorable photos show that he really enjoyed wearing those baby shoes. Kaka-one lang niya? Exciting days ahead, Mommy! I’ll be following your mommy updates. I hope to see you in the coming MBP events. Ingats!
Hi Nadia! Great seeing you here. I’m glad you still remember me. Yes, he just turned one, ang likot na grabe! I have to chase him all the time. Same here, hope to see you too in our upcoming events!
super cute si baby Ethan…bagay sa kanya ang shoes…hehe…I am excited for our Attipas shoes na din…:-D
I’m sure you’ll baby with love the shoes, will look forward to your post about it. 🙂
Ang cuuuuuttttteeee ni Ethan!!!! Hahaha. I have just visited your blog now and I fell in love with your cutie patotie!! Hehehe. I can’t wait to try attipas too with my very makulit na baby boy! =)
Aww, thanks Jen! It’s perfect for our active baby boys. I look forward to reading about your son’s Attipas experience. 🙂
i think Ethan loves the shoes! the pictures say so
He does! Whenever I put them on he gets excited and starts running, then I have to chase him!
It seems that Ethan loves his shoes like my little boy. The shoes are so comfy and the designs are so cute. This is perfect for our growing and active babies.
Yes, perfect for our super kulit boys!
Ethan looks really comfortable in them. I wonder how my daughter would feel about it, too. Then again, she loves shoes – she associates it with going outdoors kasi. Hehe
I could really tell that he was comfortable. I’m sure your daughter would them!
It looks like Ethan is enjoying his Attipas shoes 🙂 My daughter is already turning 6 in a few months. How I wish she was able to try those when she was still little. Hmm, maybe for the next baby in the future 🙂
Yes, he really loves them. I’m also planning to buy a pair for our next baby. I hope it’s a girl so I can buy the cute designs with the corsages and ribbons! 🙂
I hope they have shoes for flat footed toddlers too. It would help my daughter. 🙂 -Cel
I didn’t come across any info about it being designed for flat footed toddlers, but I guess it’s worth trying? Or better yet you can ask Attipas PH through their Facebook page. 🙂
It’s nice that there are now shoes/socks specifically for growing feet. I invest in good shoes as I know their growing feet will be impacted.
I agree, Que. I bought his other shoes because they were cute, not thinking about how he would feel in them. I’m glad I came across Attipas!
My son RJ doesn’t also like to wear shoes that much! thanks for the recommendation i would buy this for my son
You’re welcome, Rona! I hope he’ll enjoy them when you buy him a pair. 🙂
I will keep this in mind for my future kiddo! thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! Thanks for dropping by!
Your little boy looks so cute with the shoes! I have to agree with you that it’s the most comfy shoes they ever had. My daughter walks properly with it that at first she felt like she doesn’t have any shoes on! 🙂
The shoes are awesome, right? I’m seriously considering sticking to Attipas. I’ve never seen Ethan have so much fun walking and running until we got the shoes!
These look so comfy and the features you listed definitely make it worth buying. My son is 3 years old and I wish this had been available when he was smaller. Your son looks like he’s comfortable and having fun in those shoes. 🙂
Maybe their bigger sizes will still fit your son? Ethan’s wearing medium and he’s more than a year old. I know they have big sizes but I’m not sure of the measurements. Try checking out their FB page 🙂
Your post excited me, who would ever think that shoes could actually have that many benefits? I agree with you that it might be pricey for some but it also can be considered as a worthy investment. 🙂
Exactly my thoughts. 🙂 I can’t get over how amazing these shoes are!
It does look comfy! My son is already 2 1/2 years old so he needs running shoes.If and when we have another baby, we’ll check this out! 🙂
Awesome! Thanks for dropping by!
These are really cute, makes me wish my own children had this during their time.
Yeah, it would have been awesome if these shoes were made sooner. It would have made a lot of happy mommies and babies 🙂
If ever we will have a baby again, I will definitely buy these shoes. They looks comfortable to wear.
I hope I’ve known this brand way back. I ordered shoes like this from US, should I have known I could have saved a lot from shipping.
I honestly love the design though I like the color you have. I saw one that’s yellow and it seemed easy to get dirty. Wish I knew about Attipas when my kiddos were younger.
Hi, I read your blog ang I decided to give it a try to the shoes. The shoes came today but the inside looks diferent than regular shoes. Like it has no insoles. Is that the way they are? Are they meant to use without socks because I touch the botton of the shoes inside and it was a little rough. Since you have a pair could you clarify this to me….thanks so much. I love your blog 😉
Hi Luz,
Yup as I remember (because it’s been a while) it didn’t have an insole but I don’t recall the bottom being rough. My son was pretty comfortable wearing his pair until he grew out of it.
Thanks for dropping by the blog!
