AurelkaORTO Cygnet 1003 LE25 – Narrow-Fit Orthopaedic Stability Sandals

The AurelkaORTO Cygnet 1003 LE25 is a specialist narrow-fit orthopaedic sandal designed for toddlers and young children with very slim feet who are beginning to stand, step, and take their first independent movements. Part of the Footwear for Stability collection, this high-ankle sandal offers a balanced combination of softness, structure, and featherweight stability—ideal for early mobility development where proper ankle alignment and secure foot positioning are essential.

Crafted from natural grain real leather with a soft leather lining, the Cygnet 1003 LE25 ensures comfort against sensitive young skin. Its supportive heel counter, cushioned ankle cuff, and stable flat Vibram Newflex sole promote confidence and security for new standers and walkers. Designed in the LE25 narrow-fit specification, this model provides a snug, secure fit for children with very low foot volume, reducing foot slippage or excess space inside the shoe. Three adjustable Velcro straps make fitting easy for parents and therapists while ensuring a stable, customised hold.
