After more than 73 years of manufacturing baby shoes in the UK, the directors of Early Days have made the difficult decision to close their factory in Leicester.

Persistent increases in overhead costs since 2023, continuing through 2026 without signs of economic recovery, have necessitated this closure.

The company is receiving enquiries from interested parties, offering optimism that both the Early Days and Baypods brands will continue in some capacity. For all enquiries, please contact sales@earlydays.ltd.uk.

In the meantime, the directors would like to thank their loyal customers for their longstanding support over the years.
