News

Bobux shoes are soft non-slip suede leather soled and first shoes with split and fully flexible rubber soles. They are the only company featuring Eco-Leather™.

Criteria for Ecological leather:

• Chrome(VI) free leather.

As well, we will take delivery of a small selection of Bolas.

The Mexican bola or pregnancy chime is a pretty and original necklace for pregnant women. Inside the bola, a tiny sort of xylophone is welded, on which a little ball ‘dances’ around. Human hearing develops during the last three months of pregnancy and a baby can hear and recognise sounds in the womb. By wearing the ball regularly, low on the belly, the baby will grow familiar with the chiming sound of the bell. The baby will experience the special sound as soothing, both before and after birth.

Le bio for bébés et mamans

Hi Catharine,
thanks for your comment. When my daughter was small, you couldn’t get these shoes off her, she loved them, as they are completely flexible and allow for every movement of the foot. As close as going bare foot as possible. You say, well worth the money.I used to think that they are expensive, until I bought “ordinary” shoes since Bobux stop at about size 24. Now for a good quality shoe you pay easily 50 to 100% more in a shoe shop than for the Bobux.
Have a great day.
Claudia/Zone Bébé

Bobux are utterly brilliant. I had a pair for Max and they survived all manner of abuse, were washed numerous times and were then passed on. Twice. Well worth the money!
