FAQs
What age range are these shoes suitable for?
These shoes are specifically designed for infants. They are available in UK infant sizes (e.g., UK 5-9), catering to younger children who are either crawling or just beginning to walk.
How do I ensure I pick the right size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to a brand-specific size chart. Infant shoes should have a little room for growth, about half an inch (1.2 cm) from the longest toe to the end of the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear or just special occasions?
Thanks to their comfortable design and durable rubber sole, they are suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions. The stylish patent finish makes them versatile.
Can these shoes be worn outdoors?
They can be worn outdoors in dry conditions. However, to maintain the patent finish and cleanliness, we recommend primarily indoor use or light outdoor activity on clean, dry surfaces.
What is the material of the shoe?
The upper material is 100% PU (polyurethane), giving it a patent leather look, while the sole is made of rubber for comfort and traction.
How should I clean these shoes?
Gently wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and air dry. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
Do these shoes provide good support for a baby learning to walk?
Yes, the rubber sole offers good cushioning and the secure hook and loop closure helps keep the shoe firmly on the foot, providing stable support for infants learning to walk.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
First, ensure you have the correct size. The hook and loop closure allows for some adjustment; try loosening or tightening it. Check if socks are too thick or thin for the shoe fit.
Hook and loop closure isn't holding securely
Check if there's lint, dirt, or debris stuck in the hook and loop fasteners. Clean them gently with a small brush or tweezers. If the closure is worn, it may need to be replaced by a cobbler, though this is rare for new shoes.
Shoes appear scuffed or dull
The patent finish can be revived. Gently wipe scuffs with a soft, damp cloth. For a deeper shine, use a small amount of non-abrasive shoe polish specifically designed for patent leather (or synthetic patent materials) and buff with a soft cloth.
Infant slips easily while wearing the shoes
While the rubber sole provides traction, extreme conditions (wet or very smooth polished floors) can still be slippery. Ensure the walking surface is suitable and clean the soles regularly to prevent dirt buildup from reducing grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Putting on the Miso Mary Ballet Shoes is straightforward. Simply unfasten the hook and loop tape, slide your infant's foot into the shoe, and then secure the tape snugly but not too tightly over the instep. Ensure there's a little wiggle room for toes.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for infants and are available in various UK infant sizes (5, 6, 7, 8, 9). They are specifically styled for female infants, complementing a wide array of children's clothing. Always refer to the size guide to ensure the best fit for your child's foot length.
Care
To keep your Miso Mary Ballet Shoes looking their best, gently wipe them clean with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue. Air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the 100% PU material and patent finish. Regular wiping will help maintain the patent shine and prolong the life of the shoes.
