What Makes a Truly Supportive First Walking Shoe: Inside Taranis ONE ONE

During the first years of life—from birth to around age three—many parents find themselves asking the same question: What kind of shoes does my child really need when learning to walk?

At this early stage, a child’s first walking shoes are less about performance and more about providing a stable, comfortable, and secure environment for early steps. Thoughtful design can help children feel more confident as they explore movement, balance, and coordination at their own pace.
At Taranis,the comfort and everyday walking experience of young children have always guided our design approach. ONE ONE Shoes are the result of years of stability-focused on stability, material performance, and structural design—created to reflect what a thoughtfully made first walking shoe should offer.
ONE ONE Shoes are not simply winter footwear. They are thoughtfully designed first walking shoes, focused on stability, protection, and everyday comfort for children in the early stages of walking.

Next-Level Stability Technology

The Core Value of ONE ONE Shoes

Technology MAX · Protection MAX · Stability MAX
ONE ONE Shoes are built on one central principle: stability. From the outsole and internal structure to material selection, every design decision is made to elevate a child’s walking experience and redefine the upper standard of high-end first walking shoes.

Premium Vibram® Rubber Outsole

Backed by the Global Leader in High-Performance Rubber

ONE ONE Shoes feature a Vibram® rubber outsole, a material widely recognized for its reliable traction and durability in functional footwear.
Key performance advantages include:
  • Superior slip resistance, suitable for low-temperature environments
  • Lightweight construction without unnecessary bulk
  • High abrasion resistance for extended durability
  • Environmentally responsible rubber formulation
  • Stable ground contact and support early steps
A cold-weather, slip-resistant rubber compound is used to provide dependable traction on wet or slippery surfaces commonly encountered during colder seasons.
This material choice reflects a focus on functional performance and everyday stability rather than decorative elements.

Polar Bear Paw–Inspired Outsole × Vibram Multi-Density Zoning

Professionally Engineered Support for Developing Walkers

Rather than relying on a single level of firmness, the outsole of ONE ONE Shoes is thoughtfully designed to accommodate the varied pressures experienced during early walking.
  • Polar bear paw–inspired bionic outsole design
  • Vibram multi-density zoned construction
  • Targeted support for different foot pressure zones
By varying firmness across the forefoot and heel areas, the outsole is designed to provide balanced ground contact and everyday stability, helping children feel more secure as they practice walking.

Protection MAX: Globally Selected Shearling Lining

A Premium Interior Rarely Used in Children’s Footwear

The interior of ONE ONE Shoes is lined with natural shearling (sheepskin with the wool intact), selected for its softness, warmth, and comfort against young children’s skin.
Its advantages extend well beyond warmth:
  • Fine, evenly distributed sheepskin fibers for strength and support
  • Naturally softer wool fibers for enhanced comfort
  • Dense structure for superior heat retention
  • Natural animal fibers that are gentle and non-irritating
  • Suitable for barefoot wear, minimizing friction
Through careful material processing, the shearling maintains its softness, breathability, warmth, and durability for everyday wear.Even during extended use, little feet remain warm, dry, and comfortable.

Lightweight Comfort · Thermal Retention · Skin-Friendly Breathability

Thanks to the natural structure of shearling, ONE ONE Shoes also provide:
  • Built-in air layers that retain warmth naturally
  • Breathable sheepskin pores for moisture regulation
  • Excellent elasticity and shape recovery
  • Wrinkle resistance and easy maintenance for frequent wear
During everyday wear, the lining is designed to help keep little feet warm, comfortable, and dry.

Water-Repellent Upper

Designed for Real-Life Everyday Scenarios

The upper features a water-repellent finish, helping protect against:
  • Wet ground after rain
  • Splashes during outdoor play
  • Damp winter environments
This added practicality enhances usability without compromising breathability—allowing children to explore more freely.

Customizable Toe Design

A Balance of Protection and Personal Expression

ONE ONE Shoes allow for toe customization as an added element of personal expression, while maintaining the protective structure of the shoe. Customization is designed to complement, not compromise, everyday wear and comfort.

ONE ONE Exclusive Gift Set

Each pair of ONE ONE Shoes comes with a thoughtfully curated gift set:
  • Taranis ONE ONE Shoes ×1
  • Taranis wool socks ×1
  • ONE ONE exclusive brand card ×1

  • Exclusive mesh tote bag ×1
From unboxing to daily wear, the experience reflects the refinement and ritual expected of premium children’s footwear.

What Defines a True Premium First Walking Shoe?

A thoughtfully designed first walking shoe is not defined by a single material or marketing feature. Instead, it reflects a careful balance of stability, comfort, protection, and everyday usability—supporting children as they take their earliest steps at their own pace.

Features such as reliable traction, comfortable materials, and a stable structure can help create a secure environment for early walking. ONE ONE Shoes were designed around these principles, with the goal of offering comfort, warmth, and confidence during a child’s first walking experiences.
