The bootie that stays on. The one parents buy in every size, then keep.
Made from butter-soft New Zealand lambskin, the Kina is the indoor bootie that solves the problems other booties don't: they stay on tiny feet, grip wood and tile floors without slipping, breathe naturally so feet don't overheat, and hold up well enough to be handed down to the next baby still in good shape. Parents describe them as one of the few baby items worth keeping long after they're outgrown.
The minimal soft sole lets feet feel the floor naturally - ideal for crawlers, new walkers, and toddlers building their balance. Tested free from Chrome VI and heavy metals so the lambskin is as safe as it is soft.

I found out about these when my oldest was fitting into the largest size. He loved them so much he wore them down until his big toe was poking through.
I wish they made these in bigger sizes!
Now, our youngest is crawling/standing and it's fall so I'm so glad I remembered and came back to these. I bought them in several sizes to stock up and I couldn't be happier knowing his feet will be essentially "barefoot", warm, and sturdy on hardwood floors.
I'm also gifting them for a friend's son's first birthday because of how adorable and functional and unique they are.

Perfect all weather footwear for little feet
These are the only shoes we’ve owned (or needed!) for our baby thus far. Size 6-12 months has fit well since month 5; baby is now 10 months old and has a bit of room left in the shoes though the elastic ankle band is getting tighter. They’ve kept our baby’s feet warm in chilly weather during a trip to Ireland and are worn daily now that it’s winter. We get so many comments on these shoes when we’re out. We purchased the dark brown and they’ve worn in well and, now that he’s crawling, we realize the dark color hides dirt and scuffs brilliantly. They will definitely be a treasured item destined for his baby box once he’s outgrown them.

Love these!
These booties are wonderful! I have been looking for a soft bootie that stays on and that can be worn without risk of slipping, these are it. They have literally only come off on 2 occurrences, once when my son stepped on his own foot and another crawling down our carpeted steps. He sat on his foot and then moved his leg and it slid off. Outside of that, they stay on and the leather provides a great grip on carpet, tile and wood floors. My son’s feet are always warm when I take them off, so perfect for the winter months. Nui, if you read this please continue to make them and consider making a version that can be used outdoors, they are awesome!

Amazing booties!
My baby hates having anything on his feet and he loves these booties! He'll be 1 tomorrow and he tries to put them on himself! Well made, soft and durable. Perfect indoor slipper! I like that the footbed is minimalistic. Perfect for his foot development and learning to walk. Well done, Nui!

Love these!
These are SUCH nice house shoes for my littles, easy to put on, they stay on, they’re well made and well shaped, and oh so cozy. I only wish they came in big people sizes!

So cozy!
These booties are very cosy and excellent quality! I am so pleased that it will be family heirloom to pass down. My brand new walker is so exited about wearing her shoes. She is walking so well in them, just as if she were bare foot. However don’t let them walk outside in the rain or wet snow in these, as it quickly damaged the soft leather for us. These are best suited for indoors or dry ground!

Best toddler booties
My toddler has been wearing these booties for the last 6 months. In the last couple months she has learned how to put them on and take them off independently. It gives her such pride and she insists that we clap whenever she accomplishes this new feat (pun intended). She’s gotten so attached to her booties that she must wear them to sleep every night. Though her pudgy paws can remove them fairly easily if she wants to, they stay on through her wild tossing and turning. I can’t think of a single instance of crawling under her crib for a stay Kina bootie but did so often with those from other brands. Also the natural leather provides just enough traction that she doesn’t lose her footing on our wooden floors, which was yet another problem we frequently experienced with other brands. When she does grow out of these we’ll buy the size up. Then I’ll save these for our next kiddo because other than some mild darkening on the plantar side, they show no signs of wear. It’s crazy how well they’ve held up.
