Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Roamer Craft shoes is straightforward:
- Open Riptape Straps: Fully open both riptape straps on the shoe.
- Position Foot: Gently guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring toes lie flat and are not curled.
- Secure Straps: Close the riptape straps securely but not too tightly. Ensure there's enough room for comfortable movement without the foot sliding. Check fit by wiggling your finger behind the heel.
Compatibility
- Age Group: These shoes are specifically designed for toddlers, particularly those at the pre-walking and first-steps stage.
- Foot Type: Ideal for developing feet that benefit from minimal interference and maximum ground feel.
- Activity Level: Best suited for daily wear, light outdoor play, and promoting natural movement. Not designed for extreme sports or rugged terrain.
Care
To maintain the quality and longevity of your leather Roamer Craft shoes:
- For light dirt, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for premium leather, following the product instructions.
- Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the shoes are worn frequently or exposed to varying conditions.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
