"These are definitely a really cool tool to use! As a physio, it has been frustrating trying and failing to help my own child with this issue...but my girl's walking has improved a ton over the last few weeks of wearing these, they are the only shoes she can’t toe-walk in!" 

- Dr Ashley Estes a.k.a @thept_mama

Kids love them, Parents do too...

“Ella is pretty much heel-first in the Aerlos. You could tell when she is wearing them that her gait and her posture are better. I would definitely recommend it to other toe walkers' parents. In my busy life, it is hard to find the time to do the exercises all the time to stretch her calves. So the fact that she can easily do that by wearing these shoes is great.”
— Lisa 

“Phoebe loved wearing the Aerlos, she thought they looked really great and said that they were really comfy. We were really impressed with them. When she is wearing the shoe it seems to have corrected her gait and her stance. The shoes push her back into a normal stance. When she wore the shoes in the house, she would tip-toe when she got excited, that has completely stopped.”
— Megan

“Nathan loved wearing them, he was saying ‘I'm wearing my sticky shoes’. All the parents were commenting on them, how cool they were. They are a good style of shoe. After day 4 or 5 is when I noticed that he was going onto his heel and walking more flat footed. It was like he had never walked flat footed before as he was stomping his feet.”
— Rebecca

When healthy movement isn't supported…

  • Physical Strain: The feet lack the foundations needed for stable steps, so small wobbles can turn into bigger topples.
  • Emotional Load: The body lacks proper positioning, movement feels uncertain, increasing sensory load and overwhelm.
  • Social Stress: The brain works harder to steady the body, making children tire faster and hold back from joining in.

More than just a pair of trainers...

We designed AERLOS for just kids like us. Struggling with movement, meltdowns, and isolation in their early years, designing a trainer to be a child's companion for life.

  • Promoting healthy movement: simple foot and posture realignment for a gentle stretch.
  • Encouraging social inclusion: playful child-friendly designs & real-world functionality.
  • Supporting emotional well-being: promoting body positivity and empowering confident strides!

Tested in the Lab, Developed Through Play...

Built in a high-tech gait lab under the supervision of an independent team of highly experienced experts in physiotherapy, podiatry, paediatrics, biomechanics and engineers. Tested in real-world environments from the school to the play park!

Tailored by Tip-toers

Nathan & Josh tip-toed from a young age, leading to tight calf muscles, shortened Achilles tendons, instability and injuries. 

Both neurodivergent and bullied from childhood, the brothers tailored these trainers to help kids walk one step stronger!

Award-Winning, Family-Approved Design

We have won 8 awards in the last 2 years, and have gained the support of thousands of families worldwide. 

Joining us on our mission - to empower kids of all abilities to spring forward with New Found Hope in their soles!
