FAQs
What age group are the Geox Macchia shoes intended for?
These shoes are designed for infants and toddlers who are taking their first steps and are in the early stages of walking.
What is the main benefit of the 'barefoot feel' design?
The barefoot feel design allows the foot to move more naturally, promoting better balance, strength development, and healthy foot structure during crucial growth periods.
How do the Geox breathable systems work?
Geox's patented systems allow the outsole to breathe, meaning it has micro-holes that permit air to circulate and release moisture, keeping the foot drier and more comfortable.
Can I wash the shoes in a washing machine?
No, these shoes should not be machine washed. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth and appropriate leather care products as outlined in the care instructions.
What does 'chrome-free leather' mean for the insole?
Chrome-free leather means that the tanning process used to treat the leather did not involve chromium salts. This results in a more natural, non-toxic material that is safer for sensitive skin.
How flexible is the sole?
The sole features a 'Flexy System' designed to provide excellent flexibility, allowing the shoe to bend and adapt to the natural movement of the foot during walking.
Can I replace the insole if needed?
Yes, the insole is removable, which makes cleaning easier and allows for the potential to insert custom orthotics if required, provided they fit correctly.
Troubleshooting
Child seems uncomfortable or resists wearing the shoes.
Ensure the correct size has been selected by measuring the child's foot. The shoes should not be too tight or too loose. Check that the rip-tape fastening is secure but not overly tight.
Shoes appear dirty or scuffed.
Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for specific guidance on cleaning nubuck and nappa leather. Use appropriate leather cleaning products and gentle techniques.
Insole smells after wear.
Remove the insole and air it out separately. Wash the insole with mild soap and water, ensuring it is completely dry before reinserting. The antibacterial properties help minimize odor, but regular airing is beneficial.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the nubuck and nappa leather gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner designed for nubuck and nappa can be used sparingly, following product instructions.

- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
