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.
Features
Stays on - elasticated ankle keeps them secure without pinching
Soft sole for natural foot development and floor feel
Natural grip on wood, tile, and carpet
Temperature regulating and breathable - warm without overheating
Naturally anti-odour
Tested free from Chrome VI and heavy metals
Indoor use only - not suitable for wet conditions or rough outdoor surfaces
Composition
Fully tanned and made in New Zealand from lambskin suede and nappa - Chrome VI free, heavy metal free.
Love these!! They last forever with daily wear! All my grandsons have worn them from before they could walk until they outsized thru the years-probably 7 years old. We just kept getting a new pair each year for them to enjoy.

Love these. Please consider making larger sizes!
They’re so cozy, grippy on hard wood floors, mold to my child’s foot. We have outgrown the largest size and really wish we could size up for my 4 year old. Please make these in bigger sizes!!

Best splurge I’ve made
I never write reviews and I’m using the precious minute of downtime I have while my husband gives our son a bath. These slippers are amazing. They are well constructed, the suede leather grips to the floor when my son walks, the lining is supple and warm. The reason I picked these is because my son started walking right when the weather got cold and wet. Ideally emergent walkers will spend at least a few months wearing the most minimal footwear possible, such as robeez or moccasin like shoes. This is so that every bone in their foot can come in contact with and feel the floor. They can spread their toes wide to balance and can learn to walk in a natural way.
Because my son started walking in the cold months, he needs to wear more “shoe like” shoes when outside. If my house had more carpet, and was easier to keep warm or had heated floors, I would just let him be barefoot inside, but my house has no carpet, cold floors and because it’s an old house, temperatures are inconsistent. But I didn’t want to get rubber bottomed slippers because I want him coming into contact with the ground. I also didn’t want to buy slippers made with faux shearling lining because faux shearling is essentially plastic and doesn’t breathe as good and is potentially toxic. These slippers checked all the boxes.
Regarding sizing. My son is 15 months and a 6-7T in shoes. His feet are just shy of 6 inches long and I ordered the size 2-3 years. They are roomy but I have watched him walking closely and have determined the roominess doesn’t impede his walking. If your child is around 1 years old, my guess is that size 1-2 years would fit, but I’m glad I got the 2-3 years. They will fit him at least for the next 6 months which is as far as my mum brain can think. I might get rubber soled slippers when my son is older, maybe 3-4 years old because he might want some more support, but for emergent walkers, or kids under 3, I think this type of indoor footwear is ideal. I wouldn’t let him wear them outside though, the suede could be ripped on rocks or sticks. These are for sure inside slippers.
I do feel like these are priced a bit high and feel like Nui could at least pay for shipping on these slippers, but after spending hours of researching trying to find a better price point for this type of slipper, I decided to just go for it. I couldn’t find shearling lined moccasins anywhere else. For a while I was just putting his robeez over socks as a kind of house shoe set up but the socks always got bunched up, the socks were always sweaty and it’s a two step process. So nice to just slip these on and off he goes, and I can rest assured his feet are warm and he’s learning to walk on the ground, not on thick shoe beds.

So cozy
Got the 3-6mo size for my average sized 3 month old, they fit wonderfully and are true to size. They are SO soft, cozy and stay on his feet, keeping them toasty and warm. Amazing quality. I'll be buying the next size up when he outgrows these.

My daughter has been in these since infancy - currently at 3.5 with a size9 foot she still fits in the size 2-3 booties. they are soft, flexible, warm, and not slippery. They are one of my very favorite baby presents to give.

The COZIEST
I have a couple pairs of these I found secondhand for my daughter and they are PERFECT. I got another little pair for our baby on the way and I'm so happy to have them.

The best and a must!
These are the softest, most flexible shoes. They were perfect for my little one, keeping his feet warm. They don’t fall off, but still offer lots of room to grow. Best investment!

Love these
I have booties in every size for my older kid. Just purchased the 3-6 month for my newborn. He’s a big baby and these booties have room to grow yet don’t fall off either. Love how soft they are and easy to get on/off.

Stay on tiny feet
Great experience with these, little elastics are gentle on the feet but tight enough that we have never had one fall off and get lost. We wear these over thin wool socks and baby’s feet are always warm!

Cute and practical
I’ve been eying these for a long time and finally scored a pair secondhand. They seem to run a bit big for the written age range, but the quality is great as expected and we are already getting tons of wear out of them! I love how well they stay on!
