FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for a baby who is not yet walking?
These shoes are specifically designed as 'First Steps' shoes, intended for babies who have begun to walk or are cruising. While they offer support, they may be too structured for a baby solely crawling.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
There should be about a finger's width of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel snug and not slip when the child walks. The width should allow for foot spread without being too loose.
Can the insole be replaced if it wears out?
Yes, the insole is removable and can be replaced. You can purchase compatible insoles from Geox or use custom orthotics if needed. Ensure the replacement insole is the correct size and shape.
Are Geox shoes waterproof?
The Geox B Macchia Boy C shoes are designed for breathability, not full waterproofing. While the materials offer some resistance, they are not intended for prolonged exposure to water or wet conditions.
What does the 'patented Geox system' mean?
This refers to Geox's unique sole technology that features a special membrane allowing air to circulate and moisture to escape, while preventing water from entering the shoe. This ensures a comfortable and dry foot environment.
How often should I clean the shoes?
It is recommended to clean the shoes after noticeable soiling or at least once a week if worn daily. Ensure the insole is dried thoroughly between wears to maintain hygiene and prevent odor.
What is the main benefit of the Flexy System?
The Flexy System is integrated into the tread of the outsole and provides enhanced flexibility, allowing the shoe to bend and move naturally with the child's foot as they walk, promoting a more natural gait.
Troubleshooting
Child seems uncomfortable or hesitant to walk
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. Check that the riptape fastening is secure but not too tight. Verify the insole is properly seated and dry.
Feet feel warm or sweaty after wear
While designed for breathability, ensure the riptape is not fastened too tightly, which can restrict airflow. Check that the insole is completely dry. For very humid conditions, consider airing the shoes out after each use.
Shoes appear to be wearing out quickly
These shoes are designed for early walking stages and may show wear with extensive use on rough terrain. Limit use on abrasive surfaces and check for any loose threads or seams that may need minor repair.
Difficulty getting the child's foot into the shoe
Loosen the riptape fastening fully. Gently guide the child's foot into the shoe, ensuring the heel is set back properly before securing the fastening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the correct size is selected for your child's foot, checking that there is adequate room for toe movement while maintaining a secure fit around the ankle and heel.
Compatibility: Designed as first walking shoes, they are compatible with most surfaces for indoor and light outdoor use. The removable insole allows for compatibility with custom orthotic inserts if recommended by a healthcare professional.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials that could damage the shoe's finish.
- Cleaning the Insole: Remove the nontoxic leather insole and clean it gently with a damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Ensure the insole is fully dry to maintain its antibacterial properties.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can warp or damage the materials.
