Growing children’s feet, from first steps up

About Primigi: Primigi is an Italian children’s brand we have stocked for years, made for little feet from their very first steps right up to the teenage years. The leathers are lovely and soft with breathable linings, and the direct-injected polyurethane soles are light and flexible while still standing up to plenty of wear. The whole shoe is shaped around how children’s feet grow, with a foot-friendly last and easy Velcro fastenings, and there is a good choice of school shoes, boots, casual trainers and sandals, including some waterproof styles.

Primigi fit & sizing tips

  • True to size. Primigi comes up true to size with a foot-friendly shape, so most children can stick with their usual size.
  • Leave room to grow. Allow about 1 to 1.5 cm at the toe for growing feet and natural movement, and check the fit every few weeks against the foot length below.
  • Easy on and off. Most styles fasten with Velcro, so little ones can manage them by themselves.
  • Soft and breathable. Super soft leathers and breathable linings keep feet comfortable through the day, and some styles are fully waterproof.
  • If in doubt, go by the EU size. The UK number on our site can be half a size out from the one printed on the box, so the EU size and the foot length in cm are the ones to trust.

Primigi Children’s Shoes

Primigi put a lot of thought into how children’s feet grow and move. The shoes are light and flexible with a breathable lining, snug through the heel and midfoot with plenty of room at the toes. Direct-injected polyurethane soles soak up the knocks of the playground and keep their spring, so little feet are well supported without being held in. Children grow quickly, so it is worth checking the fit every few weeks against the foot length below. We stock from a small EU 19 (UK 3) right up to EU 40 (UK 6.5).

Primigi Shoes Care Guide

How you care for Primigi shoes depends on what they are made of, and a few simple habits will keep them looking smart and lasting longer.

  • Leather: brush daily to lift off dust and mud, and work in a little transparent or matching shoe cream now and then to feed the leather.
  • Fabric: wipe over with a damp cloth and a neutral soap, then finish with a water-repellent spray.
  • Suede: brush away dust when dry, and bring the nap back up with a suede brush or rubber.
  • Patent & synthetic leather: a soft damp cloth is all you need to lift off dust or mud. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Keep them away from radiators and hair dryers, as direct heat can mark the colour and wrinkle the lining. Let them dry naturally, out of direct sun.
  • Lift the insole out to air separately, and rotate between two pairs so each gets time to dry out between wears.
