Riding Style Baby & Toddler Pre Walker Boots Rose Gold

Our rose gold pre-walker infant riding style boots are crafted from supple, genuine leather, and feature elasticated sides for an optimal fit around the ankle.

The EU18/S size is constructed with a textured suede sole for improved suppleness and grip, while the EU20/M and EU22/L sizes boast a split rubber sole for maximum flexibility and durability. Plus, removable insoles allow for easy cleaning and accommodate orthotics.

Metallic leathers are produced using a hot press application which bonds foil to the leather. These metallics are less resilient than ordinary leathers, and if the foil is scraped, it reveals the leather underneath. We are not aware of an approach to reapply the foil to the footwear, so please tread with care!

About SKEANIE
They say necessity is the mother of invention. And when new mother Natasha Barber had her first child in 2005 and couldn't find the right kind of soft, quality shoes for her precious baby's feet, she decided to do something about it - create her own. Her own company, that is. Natasha began to research tirelessly about foot health and development and was initially surprised to discover very little information or education available. It sparked in her the need to delve even deeper. What began as an interest in podiatry, turned into a passion for manufacturing shoes. It resulted in Natasha launching her own company, SKEANIE Shoes for Kids.

DID YOU KNOW?
A baby's foot contains more cartilage than bone. Although the structure of the foot develops fully by the first two years, the bones themselves do not fully develop and harden until around the age of 13. The greatest changes in the foot occur in the first three years. Children's feet endure three times more stress than the average adult foot. A child's foot sweats twice as much as an adult's foot!

SKEANIE leather shoes and boots are made from soft, comfortable leather and feature thin, flexible rubber and/or suede soles as this is recommend for growing feet. Our shoes should be worn as dress shoes. Our shoes are made from soft leather, which will scuff when scrapped along a rough surface. They do enjoy walking, running and playing; however, they do not like getting wet, being used as brakes on your bike or scooter, kicking a footy, climbing trees or walking through mud and dirt.

We recommend that you spray your SKEANIE footwear with a Shucare Water and Stain Repellent prior to wear. The best way to keep your SKEANIE footwear looking bright and new is to simply wipe over with a clean damp cloth or leather wipe. Applying Shucare Leather Conditioner and Renovating Polish will assist with maintaining their softness and colour. SKEANIE footwear should never be placed in the washing machine or dryer.
