These shoes are specifically designed for toddlers, particularly those who are learning to walk or are in their early walking stages, focusing on natural foot development.
Yes, they are suitable for light outdoor use on even surfaces like pavements or parks. Their primary design focus is on supporting natural foot development rather than rugged, heavy-duty outdoor conditions.
For the leather upper, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth and use a suitable leather cleaner/conditioner. The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Air dry naturally away from direct heat.
'Barefoot freedom' refers to the design philosophy where the shoe's minimal, flexible sole allows the child's foot to move and feel the ground almost as if they were barefoot. This promotes natural balance and gait development.
The Roamer Craft shoes are designed to encourage natural foot development, which means they feature a minimal and flexible sole rather than rigid arch support. This approach allows the foot's natural arch to develop and strengthen without artificial restrictions.
The shoes feature Riptape (Velcro) straps designed for easy on/off by parents. While toddlers may eventually figure out how to undo them, they are generally secure for typical wear and play.
Ensure the correct size has been chosen for your child's foot. The Riptape straps allow for adjustment; try loosening or tightening them. Check for a thumb's width space at the toe.
Ensure the shoes are not too tight or uncomfortable. Make the process fun or a routine. Check for any debris inside the shoe. Sometimes, a short break-in period helps. If resistance persists, consult a child's shoe specialist.
While the chrome-free leather lining is breathable, ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (e.g., cotton) for the weather. If feet are consistently sweaty, ensure the fit is not too snug. Allow shoes to air out between wears.
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. Use a high-quality leather conditioner or polish specifically designed for children's leather shoes to restore shine and condition the material. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out.
