• Insole: Removable Thermofelt insole (recycled material)
• Outsole: Rubber, thin (approx. 4.55 mm) and flexible

What we like about this shoe:

• Barefoot design with a thin, flexible sole that lets the child’s foot work naturally
• Wide toe box that gives plenty of room for the toes to splay
• Durable suede upper with TEX membrane that helps protect against moisture and wet conditions
• Combination of laces and side zipper for a secure fit and easy on and off
• Low weight (approx. 80 g) that keeps the shoe light on the foot, even for smaller children

Care instructions:

• Wipe the shoes gently with a damp cloth when needed, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
• Avoid direct heat such as radiators, drying cabinets or strong sunlight, as this can cause discoloration and damage to the materials.
• Let the shoes air-dry after use and, if possible, stuff them with paper to help them retain their shape.
• To protect the leather against dirt and moisture, you can use for example Collonil Organic Cover. For suede shoes, a suede brush is also recommended to remove dirt and lift the nap so the suede keeps its soft and smooth texture.
