Proper care of barefoot shoes for children: tips for longevity and hygiene

Natural materials need care.

Barefoot shoes for children are often made of breathable, natural materials such as microfiber leather or mesh fabric. These ensure a comfortable foot climate but are more delicate than classic leather shoes. Regular airing, gentle brushing of dirt, and occasional wiping with a damp cloth help keep the materials intact and fresh.

What to do about wet shoes?

After a walk in the rain or if your shoes get wet while playing, proper drying is crucial. Barefoot shoes should never be dried directly on a radiator or in the sun, as this can cause the materials to harden or shrink. Instead, we recommend removing the insoles and stuffing the shoes with newspaper at room temperature.

This keeps barefoot shoes hygienic.

Since children often wear barefoot shoes without socks, hygiene is especially important. Washcloths with mild soap or special cleaning sprays made from natural ingredients are ideal for regularly cleaning the inner and outer materials. This prevents odors from developing and protects the delicate materials at the same time.
