Early Signs of Foot Problems in Children Are Easy to Miss. NUKIX Changes That.
Why We Built NUKIX
Too many children were arriving at Shaffin's clinic after years of preventable foot, ankle, and movement problems.
NUKIX was created to help parents recognize concerns earlier, understand what they're seeing, and support healthy development while children are still growing.
Meet the Founders
Shaffin Haji, C.Ped(C) – Certified Pedorthist
Since 2003, Shaffin has helped thousands of children walk better, grow stronger, and avoid long-term injury from poor foot alignment. He saw it every day in the clinic — early correction changed everything, but too many families didn't find him until that window had already started to close.
Then he became a father himself, and it stopped just being professional. Watching his own son grow made something he'd always known clinically feel personal for the first time.
That's why he built NUKIX — to bring the same early intervention into every home, before that window closes.
"The children I could help the most were always the ones whose parents acted early. Once I became a dad myself, I understood exactly why that's so hard to know in time. NUKIX was built so no parent has to miss that window — including me."
Danny Banayan – Co-Founder & Children's Footwear Expert
With over 40 years of experience in children's footwear, Danny understands what growing feet need. His expertise helped shape the NUKIX support system and its progressive approach to healthy foot development.
Together, Danny and Shaffin shared a simple belief: children deserve access to the right support before small concerns become bigger problems.
"We wanted to create a program that grows with the child and gives parents confidence every step of the way."
