The Roamer Craft T Sneaker excels in providing a natural walking experience for toddlers and young children. Its highly flexible sole allows the foot to bend and flex unimpeded, crucial for developing strength and coordination. For a child learning to walk, this means better proprioception – the sense of where their body is in space – leading to more confident and stable steps on various indoor and outdoor surfaces.
The lightweight design ensures children aren't burdened by heavy footwear, promoting longer periods of comfortable wear during play, exploration, and daily activities. The Riptape fastening system is particularly beneficial for quick transitions, whether at home, nursery, or during outings. Parents will appreciate the ease of securing the shoes, and children can begin to learn how to manage their own footwear. The premium leather upper holds up well to typical toddler activities, offering both durability and a classic look suitable for both casual and slightly more formal settings. The breathable lining is key for active little feet, helping to regulate temperature and minimize discomfort during extended wear.
Open Riptape: Fully open the Riptape straps for easy foot insertion.
Insert Foot: Gently slide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring the heel is snugly against the back of the shoe.
Secure Riptape: Fasten the Riptape straps firmly but comfortably across the top of the foot. Ensure it's not too tight or too loose, allowing for natural movement while keeping the shoe secure.
Check Fit: Have your child stand up. Check for approximately a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure their toes can wiggle freely.
These shoes are designed specifically for toddlers and young children (age group: kids/toddler) starting to walk and for continued healthy foot development. They are suitable for various casual activities and everyday wear. The size provided is UK 3.
Cleaning the Leather Upper: Wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use. For tougher marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for premium leather. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Maintaining Leather: To keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, occasionally apply a good quality leather conditioner or polish. Follow the product instructions for application.
Chrome-Free Leather Sock Lining: The chrome-free lining is naturally breathable. If it becomes damp, remove the shoe and allow it to air dry thoroughly before next use.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
