FAQs
What is the best way to clean these shoes?
For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning, a mild leather cleaner appropriate for children's shoes can be used. Allow to air dry. The sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Are the insoles removable for orthotics?
No, the insoles in the Joyful Skip Infant Shoes are not designed to be removable.
What kind of fastening do these shoes have?
These shoes feature a convenient rip tape (Velcro-style) fastening, disguised with a classic faux buckle for easy on and off.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
They are designed with an F/G width fit, which typically accommodates average to slightly wider infant feet. It's always best to have your child's feet measured for the most accurate fit.
What materials are used in these shoes?
The upper is made from supple leather, the lining is cotton, and the sole is thermoplastic rubber.
How do I know if the size is correct for my infant?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel secure around the heel and instep without being too tight, and the rip tape should close comfortably.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles to protect the leather and prolong the shoe's life.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you've selected the correct size and width (F/G) for your child's foot. Check if socks are too thick or thin. The rip tape should be secured firmly but comfortably.
My child is resisting wearing the shoes
Check for any tags or seams that might be irritating. Ensure the shoe isn't too hot or cold. Re-measure your child's foot to confirm the size is still accurate, as infant feet grow quickly.
Shoes are getting dirty quickly
Infant shoes, especially leather ones, will show dirt. Wipe them down regularly with a damp cloth. For tougher marks on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for shoes.
Sole seems stiff or lacks grip
While designed with flexibility, new soles can sometimes be a little stiff. Allow for a break-in period. Ensure the sole is clean, as dirt can reduce grip. The thermoplastic rubber is designed for flexibility and grip on typical surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Open Fastening: Fully open the rip tape fastening.
- Position Foot: Gently slide your infant's foot into the shoe, ensuring toes lie flat and aren't curled.

Compatibility
- Age Group: Specifically designed for infants.
- Width Fit: Features an F/G width fit, catering to average to slightly wider infant feet. Always measure your child's feet for the best fit.
- Surfaces: Suitable for most indoor and light outdoor activities on even surfaces.
Care
- Cleaning Leather Uppers: For the leather upper, gently wipe dirt and marks with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for infant shoes, following product instructions. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Cleaning Soles: The thermoplastic rubber sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh detergents, or machine wash, as this can damage the leather and overall structure of the shoe.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry completely. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
