FAQs
Are these shoes truly like walking barefoot?
The Roamer Craft T Sneakers are designed with a 'barefoot freedom' concept, meaning they have minimal, flexible soles that allow children's feet to feel the ground and move naturally, mimicking the benefits of walking barefoot for healthy development.
What age group are these shoes suitable for?
These shoes are ideal for toddlers and young children who are taking their first steps or are already confident walkers. They are designed to support developing feet.
How do I clean the leather upper?
For basic cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs or to maintain the leather's suppleness, use a high-quality leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for premium leather, following the product's instructions.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, these shoes are not designed for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water. Water can damage the leather and reduce the lifespan of the shoes. For very wet conditions, waterproof footwear is recommended.
How do I know what size my child needs?
Info needed: It is recommended to have your child's feet professionally measured by a shoe fitting expert, especially for first shoes. Alternatively, you can measure their feet at home and compare to a brand-specific size chart, ensuring there is a thumb's width of space at the toe.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or too loose after fastening.
Ensure the Riptape straps are adjusted correctly. They should be firm enough to keep the shoe secure but allow natural foot movement without pinching. Re-check the fit while the child is standing.
Leather appears dry, scuffed, or dull.
Clean the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove any surface dirt. Then, apply a suitable leather conditioner or polish to restore moisture and shine. Regular care prevents excessive dryness.
Foot odor develops.
The chrome-free lining is breathable, but active feet can still generate odor. Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. If needed, use a shoe deodorizer or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoe overnight (remove before wear).
Child seems uncomfortable or is tripping.
Double-check the shoe size and fit to ensure it's not too small or large. Verify that socks aren't bunched up. Observe the child's walking pattern; if issues persist, consult a pediatrician or podiatrist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Open Riptape: Fully open the Riptape straps for easy foot insertion.
- Insert Foot: Gently slide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring the heel is snugly against the back of the shoe.
- Secure Riptape: Fasten the Riptape straps firmly but comfortably across the top of the foot. Ensure it's not too tight or too loose, allowing for natural movement while keeping the shoe secure.
- Check Fit: Have your child stand up. Check for approximately a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure their toes can wiggle freely.

Care
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use. For tougher marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for premium leather. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Maintaining Leather: To keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, occasionally apply a good quality leather conditioner or polish. Follow the product instructions for application.
- Chrome-Free Leather Sock Lining: The chrome-free lining is naturally breathable. If it becomes damp, remove the shoe and allow it to air dry thoroughly before next use.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
