AurelkaORTO Cygnet 1003 G4 – Standard-Fit Orthopaedic Stability Sandals

The AurelkaORTO Cygnet 1003 G4 is a supportive, standard-fit orthopaedic sandal designed for toddlers and young children who are beginning to stand, step, and take their first independent movements. Part of the Footwear for Stability collection, this high-ankle sandal provides a carefully balanced combination of softness, structure, and featherweight stability—supporting early mobility while promoting safe foot and ankle alignment.

Crafted from natural grain real leather with a soft leather lining, the Cygnet 1003 G4 is gentle on sensitive young skin while delivering the structure needed during early developmental stages. A supportive heel counter, cushioned ankle cuff, and flat Vibram Newflex sole help children feel secure and confident as they learn to bear weight and initiate steps.

Designed in a standard-width specification, this model suits children with average foot width and volume, offering a stable, well-balanced fit without excess tightness or restriction.
Three adjustable Velcro straps allow parents and therapists to fine-tune the fit, ensuring secure foot positioning throughout daily wear.
