The Xplorer has been developed through a user-centred design process, especially for children who are just learning to walk and move alternately between crawling, pulling themselves up and taking their first steps. The materials used, such as a soft, hard-wearing EVA sole, leather upper and special protective toe cap, make the Xplorer light and flexible and at the same time offer the protection and durability of a walking shoe.
Statement by the Jury
The successful symbiosis of a soft first shoe and a stable walking shoe is brought into additional focus by the distinctive design of the sole.
