Material:

Upper: Leather
Lining: Leather
Outsole: Rubber

Why we like this shoe:

Provides good space for toes
Flat sole, without elevations
Velcro strap for easy wear

Fit:

Suitable for normal to wide feet. Suitable for normal to high instep. This shoe, and other models with code 073 in the name have a straighter/less sloping toe box, so if the child has a really narrow foot, this model will probably be too wide. If you want a shoe with a more sloping toe box, for a better fit for a narrow foot, they can be found among the d.d. step models that have code 063 in the name.

Care instructions:

Treat the shoe regularly with spray/cream to maintain the leather's properties and to establish protection against moisture and dirt. For example, this one from Collonil.

Size chart:

Here's how to get the right size:
Measure the child's feet by placing the foot inside a box or with the heel against a wall. Let the child put weight on the foot and measure up to the longest toe from the wall. This is the child's foot measurement. Add 1-1.5 cm to this measurement to get the right size. It is not advantageous to buy shoes with more than 2.0 cm extra space for immediate use. The shoe's inner measurements are listed below.

Inner length cm / sole width cm
20 12.6 / 5.7
21 13.3 / 5.8
22 14.0 / 6.0
23 14.7 / 6.2
