Product Information
Full details
The Geox Macchia infant first-steps shoe is designed for baby boys who are beginning to walk, offering a barefoot feel for natural movement. Its key benefit is promoting a flexible, unrestricted gait with superior underfoot comfort. A potential consideration is the synthetic lining which may not be ideal for all climates. This shoe features a pared-back aesthetic, crafted from nubuck and nappa leather in a biscuit colour, combining breathability with stylishness.

FAQs
What is Geox Respira™ technology?
Respira™ technology combines a perforated sole with a breathable, waterproof membrane. This allows air to circulate, keeping feet dry and comfortable, while preventing water from entering the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Macchia shoe is designed with a focus on flexibility and a natural feel, which generally accommodates a standard foot width well. However, for exceptionally wide feet, it's recommended to try them on if possible.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Measure your child's foot from heel to the tip of their longest toe. Compare this measurement to the Geox sizing chart. Ensure there is a small amount of growing room, but not so much that the shoe hinders walking.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
The Respira™ technology offers some water resistance due to the waterproof membrane. However, they are not fully waterproof boots and prolonged submersion in water is not recommended.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 0.5cm, contributing to the low profile and barefoot feel of the shoe.
What materials are the shoes made of?
The uppers are made of nubuck and nappa leather. The lining, cushioning, and sole are 100% synthetic, with the sole being rubber.
Troubleshooting
Shoes seem too stiff.
The shoes are designed for flexibility. Try gently flexing them by hand to encourage softness. Wearing them for a short period will also help them conform to the child's foot.
Child's feet feel warm or sweaty.
While the Respira™ technology enhances breathability, extreme conditions can still lead to warmth. Ensure the shoes are not too tight and allow them to air out after use. Check that the socks worn are also breathable.
Fastening strap not holding securely.
Ensure the touch 'n' close strap is clean and free from lint or debris, which can impair its sticking power. Press firmly along the entire length of the strap to secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
