Start-rite Autumn/Winter collection 2007

If you've got a young baby who isn't quite walking yet then it's important to protect her fragile feet as her bones haven't quite developed yet and they can be easily squashed out of shape.

Footwear experts Start-rite do a great range of 'pre-walkers' which are specially designed for children who are in the early stages of learning to walk. Pre-walkers are made with lightweight, flexible soles for gently supporting your baby's feet and rubber toe bumpers for added protection. Each pair is made from either nubuck or leather and all shoes can be machine washed at 40 degrees.

The latest Autumn/Winter range includes some fun and funky designs which babies will just love. There are four types available for both boys and girls with pretty pastels for the young ladies and autumnal browns and reds for the young men.

We love the Blossom Tot design with its embroidered flowers, bows and glitter stitching - fit for that little princess in your life! Other girls' designs include the velcro-strapped Wriggle Tot and buckle-ups Jelly Tot and Cuddle Tot.

For the boys check out the trendy Jelly Tots in red and the super warm Toasty Tots, among others.

Prices start from £18 - check out www.startriteshoes.com for more information.
