Hush Puppies' Paw-Flex Technology Supports Young Ones Learning to Walk

— September 5, 2018 — Fashion
Hush Puppies is now introducing a Paw-Flex footwear collection of toddler shoes that specifically addresses the challenges young ones face when learning to walk on their own.

The Paw-Flex technology is designed to provide flexibility, comfort and stability for the feet in the form of high-top sneakers, classic Mary Jane styles and other designs—all of which include hook and loop closures so that the shoes stay securely fastened on the feet. On the bottom of the shoes, there's a Paw-Grip bottom that boosts traction and a memory foam footbed that cradles the heel to provide all-day comfort.

These new toddler shoes from Hush Puppies are available for kids in sizes ranging from four to 10, with medium and wide options available.
