I started Dotty Fish in 2006 when I had 2 children under 2. I was given some leather baby shoes for my son, Josh. When I went to buy some more I realised how expensive they were and saw a gap in the market for quality, affordable leather baby shoes. I decided to draw some designs, my shoes arrived and Dotty Fish was born!

Our range has grown to include slippers, sandals and baby booties. As I always say, ‘you can never have too many shoes!’

  • What makes our products unique?

    Our UK team design all our shoes and we test our leather to ensure it is safe for little feet. Our shoes are podiatry approved after being tested using sophisticated gait analysis tools.

    Why we love what we do?

    Josh is 16 and Dotty Fish shoes have long since stopped fitting him. We love seeing our shoes being worn by babies & toddlers and hearing from happy parents who trust our brand.

    Are our products high quality?

    Absolutely! The heart of Dotty Fish is to provide high quality shoes at affordable prices.

      Love this brand in general but especially these because my son has a very wide foot and many shoes you can’t get on because of this. They are also super flexible which I love cause it allows for natural foot motion and strengthening of the intrinsic foot muscles. I don’t love the way they look but I’d trade good function for looks anyway especially with a toddler!

      Soft comfortable, a bit pricey I will say but definitely perfect for what they are.

      Mit diesem Schuh hat unsere Tochter das Laufen gelernt, daher kann ich ihn auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Der Schuh ist sehr leicht, aus tollem, weichen Leder und die dnne Gummisohle sehr flexibel, im Prinzip wie ein Barfuschuh. Lsst sich sehr weit ffnen und flexibel schlieen, perfekt fr kleine Kinder mit breiten Fen und hohem Spann. Der einzig negative Punkt: Dieser Schuh verschleit extrem schnell. Schon nach dem ersten Anziehen bltterte das Leder vorne am Schuh ab. Fr uns passte es trotzdem, da wir diesen Schuh ber das Ende des Sommers / Anfang Herbst genutzt haben und nun verwenden wir den nchsten Schuh fr den Herbst, denn diesen hier htten wir auch nicht weiter verwenden knnen. Mehr als drei, vier Wochen knnen die Kinder den Schuh nicht tragen. Mssen sie in der Regel ja aber auch nicht, da man nach dem Laufen lernen die nchste Kategorie Schuh kaufen kann. Fr den Preis fand ich es in Ordnung. Kaufempfehlung!

      Bought these for my baby boy as his first walking shoes, as at the moment he is just cruising. They’re great, look lovely and the soft leather is perfect and looks expensive so its great value for money. They bend nicely which is what you want for first walker shoes . Definitely recommend

      Like that these shoes are made of leather allowing the foot to breath and not become hot and sweaty. They are amazingly flexible for little feet and the soles grip well. Have noticed some remarks regarding the leather scuffing at the toes but obviously this is to be expected when the child opts to crawl instead of walk and is a small price to pay so that the feet can breath which is not the case when plastic is used instead of leather. Am absolutely delighted with my purchase.

      These shoes are the best I bought for my child his first walking shoes , so comfortable and good quality. I really recommend these pair of shoes are a good option for parents that are looking for comfortable shoes for their babies.

      Recomendables solo para cuando est empezando a andar y a dar los primeros pasos, es decir cuando se pone al nio en el suelo de forma ocasional, pero no cuando ya anda bien y quiere jugar en el suelo, ya que la suela es muy blandita y la piel muy fina, y se romperan muy fcilmente, como cuentan otras reseas. Talla muy grande, recomiendo una talla menos.

      Super quality and fit! My son still has chubby baby feet and they are perfect.

      Traditional little first shoe,?velcro tab very secure for tiny feet. Good sturdy design well made. Fits my one year old grandson really well, perfect for him taking his first steps and getting used to shoes. We bought the shoe sizer from Clark’s to make sure we got the correct size. He doesn’t seem to mind wearing them either. He did have some trainer tripe shoes which gave him a little blister, there are lovely and soft around the ankle, but are supportive too. He has chunky feet so not sure they would fit well on a toddler with slim feet.

      We bought these as the first ‘outside’ pair of shoes for our twins. The fit is good, they are not too heavy for them to toddle around in. They are also sturdy enough to stand up to mud and wet grass. Very happy will buy again once they outgrow these.

      Lovely soft leather, very easy to get on and off wobbly walker. Survived a few weeks at nursery so far.

      Los acabados son buenos. Se ve un zapato respetuoso en todos los sentidos!
      Lo devuelvo porque es demasiado ancho para el pie de mi hijo pero me parece genial para nios con pies anchos.

      Wonderful shoes if your baby has wide feet and very high instep. The strap opening opens wide enough to easily get baby’s foot in then secures well with the velcro fastening. Added bonus the sole is thin, pliable rubber so if baby has just started walking these can be worn outside.

      These are my Grand Sons first shoes . They are perfect in every way.
      Put them straight on and off he went. Nice to have the Velcro . Wish there where more of the same.
      Bought slip ons too. Haven’t tried them yet.
      Well done Dotty !

      These shoes are so good for wide feet/barefoot style as they have good toe box room for growing feet and don’t squish them like other shoes can. I’ve ordered other shoes from dotty fish and they can be hit or miss (odd shapes, some loose and some tight) but with the Velcro on these, you can control them and baby loves them already compared to other shoes which he won’t let me put on! He keeps playing with the easy to open Velcro fastenings so it’s a good way to teach him how to put on his own shoes. Can you please do larger sizes as we are on size 7 already!!!!

      Love these little shoes, our little boy started walking after lockdown started so we wanted something soft but suitable for walking outside. These have been great as they give some support and protection without being too rigid. As we measured ourself using the technique described I was unsure how they would fit but they are easy to put on and take off and seem comfortable as the leather is so soft. The colour and leather became scuffed quite quickly around the fronts and edges as they are very soft and being worn by a stumbly 15 month toddler! I am glad I found these as they have been great little first shoes.
