FAQs

What age range are these shoes for?

These shoes are designed for toddlers and pre-walkers, typically those beginning to walk or already walking confidently.

Are these shoes truly barefoot?

They are designed with barefoot principles in mind, featuring a thin, flexible sole and a wide toe box to promote natural foot movement and development.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

The mesh upper can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft brush can help with tougher spots. Always air dry them afterward.

Can my child wear these in wet conditions?

While the mesh is breathable, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the material.

What is the benefit of the 3D printed toe protection?

The 3D printed toe protection adds an extra layer of durability to the front of the shoe, safeguarding against scuffs and impacts as toddlers explore and play.

How do I ensure a proper fit?

Check that your child's toes have wiggle room at the front and that the heel does not slip. The riptape fastening should be snug but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot expansion.

Troubleshooting

Riptape not sticking securely

Ensure the riptape surfaces are clean and free of lint or debris. Gently brush the hook and loop sides to remove any obstructions. If the riptape is excessively worn, it may need replacement.

Mesh upper appears discolored or stained

Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent stains, use a soft brush with a light soap and water mixture, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.

Child seems uncomfortable or restricted

Re-adjust the riptape fastening for a more customized fit. Ensure the shoe is the correct size and width for your child's foot. Barefoot-style shoes can feel different initially; allow a short break-in period.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn marks on the mesh, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Washability: The mesh upper is described as washable. Gentle hand washing is recommended. Machine washing is not advised to preserve the shoe's structure and materials.
