Tiger head shoes, specially prepared for newborn babies, are also the first pair of shoes in life. When the baby falls to the ground, there is already a pair of tiger head shoes waiting next to it, which means a lifetime of joy and protects the child's health and tranquility.

In Cixi, the production of tiger head shoes is said to date back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. At that time, the environment around Cixi Dagutang was harsh, and children often died. People have to pin their hopes on one beast: the tiger. In the memories of the Jiangnan people, the tiger is the most powerful of all the beasts, not only can deter enemies, but also devour demons. People make "tiger shoes" with tiger head patterns on the toe toe, so that tigers can bless the healthy growth of children.
