Child finds the barefoot feel unusual

Introduce the boots gradually. Start with shorter wear times and gradually increase as the child becomes accustomed to the natural feel and flexibility.

Difficulty pulling boots on

Utilize the heel loops. Ensure the elastic toggle and drawstring collar are loosened before attempting to put the boot on, then tighten for a secure fit.

Squeaking noise during wear
