FAQs
What is the 'barefoot effect'?
The 'barefoot effect' means the shoes are designed to mimic the feeling of walking barefoot. They are highly flexible, lightweight, and have a sole that allows the foot to move naturally, promoting better balance and development for young children's feet.
Are these shoes suitable for a child who has just started walking?
Yes, these shoes are specifically designed for first-step shoes, offering the flexibility, support, and protective features beneficial for toddlers learning to walk.
How do I clean the chrome-free leather insole?
The insole is removable. You can wipe it gently with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before placing it back into the shoe to prevent moisture buildup.
What is the benefit of the Flexy System outsole?
The Flexy System outsole is engineered to be highly flexible, allowing the shoe to bend naturally with the foot's movement. This enhances comfort and supports the natural walking motion of young children.
Can the insole be replaced if needed?
Yes, the insole is removable, making it easy to clean and allowing for replacement if necessary. This also ensures the shoe can be kept hygienic.
What is the difference between this low shoe and other Geox Macchia models?
The Macchia line offers various styles like low shoes and trainers. This specific model is a low shoe, characterized by its minimal design and emphasis on flexibility for early walkers, whereas other models might be high-tops or trainers with slightly different support structures.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too stiff
Ensure the Velcro straps are not overly tightened. Gently flex the shoe by hand to soften the sole further.
Difficulty putting shoe on
Open the Velcro straps fully. Slightly spread the tongue area to allow the foot to slide in more easily. Ensure the child's foot is positioned correctly within the shoe.
Material shows scuffs or marks
Use a specialized nubuck eraser for light scuffs. For more persistent marks, try a slightly damp cloth followed by air drying. Test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
Insole smells after wear
Remove the insole and air it out in a well-ventilated area. Wash the insole with mild soap and water, ensuring it dries completely before reinsertion. Consider using antibacterial shoe spray if odor persists.
