This one swaps a Christmas character for an animal, a sleepy black and white penguin face sits on the toe, wearing its own tiny red Santa hat with a white pom pom. It is a slightly different look from a straightforward Santa or elf design, without losing any of the cosy, festive feel.
At £12.99, they share the same price, sizing and fleece construction as our other novelty Christmas booties, so if you already know your size from those, it should carry over here too. For ideas on pairing footwear with an outfit, our guide on Christmas outfits and shoes is worth a look.
What Makes These Shoes Special
The penguin face is embroidered onto a black fleece base, with closed, sleepy eyes and a small orange beak, finished in white around the cheeks for that classic penguin look. Perched on top is a miniature Santa hat in red with white fur trim and a matching white pom pom, so the design leans festive rather than just wintery.
A small fabric tab sits at the back of the heel, which makes it easier to pull the shoe on over a wriggling foot without having to fight with the fabric. Underneath, the same soft, non-slip sole as our other novelty booties keeps things safe and comfortable for pre-walkers indoors.
Elf, Santa or Penguin: Which Suits Your Christmas Look
If you already have your eye on more than one style, all three of our novelty Christmas booties share the same fleece construction, soft sole and price, so the decision comes down to character rather than comfort or fit. Our elf Christmas booties use a red and green colourway with a pointed, pom pom toe, while our Santa Christmas shoes go for an all-red design with a sleepy Santa face.
This penguin version sits somewhere between the two, using black and white as its base colour with just a touch of red on the hat, which can make it easier to match with a wider range of outfits than an all-red or red and green pair.

Size Guide
Please measure your baby’s foot length and compare it to the chart below rather than relying on age alone, since babies grow at different rates. Measurements are in centimetres. Full guidance is also available on our baby shoes size guide.

Who Are These Shoes For?
These shoes suit:
- Parents wanting a slightly different character look than the usual Santa or elf design
- Grandparents and relatives looking for an easy, affordable stocking filler
- Parents of pre-walkers who want warm, soft indoor footwear rather than hard soled shoes
- Anyone buying for a baby boy or girl, since the design is unisex
Care Instructions
A gentle clean with water and a soft cloth is recommended rather than a full machine wash, which helps keep the embroidered face and the hat detail looking sharp. Our guide on how to care for fleece material has more general tips on keeping fleece pieces looking their best.
