Proper care of barefoot shoes for children: tips for longevity and hygiene
Share
Natural materials need care
Barefoot shoes for children are often made of breathable, natural materials such as microfiber leather or mesh fabric. These provide a comfortable foot climate, but are more delicate than traditional leather shoes. Regular airing, gently brushing off dirt, and occasionally wiping with a damp cloth help keep the materials intact and fresh.
What to do if your shoes are wet?
After a rainy walk or if your shoes get wet while playing, proper drying is crucial. Barefoot shoes should never be dried directly on a heater or in the sun, as this can cause the materials to harden or shrink. Instead, we recommend removing the insoles and padding the shoes with newspaper at room temperature.
How to keep barefoot shoes hygienic
Since children often wear barefoot shoes without socks, hygiene is especially important. Washcloths with mild soap or special natural-based cleaning sprays are ideal for regularly cleaning interior and exterior materials. This prevents odor development while protecting the delicate materials.
