D.D.step S073-62313A Kids' Barefoot All-Season Trainers Dark Blue

Dark blue leather barefoot trainers for your child, with a wide toe box, flexible zero drop sole and two velcro straps for easy fastening. The sole and print glow in the dark.

Dark blue leather all-season shoes with a skateboard print, suitable for nursery or school as well as for days out. The sole and print glow in the dark, so your child is easier to spot at dusk. The S073 line is the widest in the D.D.step range, so there is room for your child's foot where other models start to feel tight.

The soft, very flexible sole lets your child's foot work naturally. The roomy toe box leaves space for natural toe development, including the big toe, and the reinforced toe bumper helps the shoes stay in good condition after months of scuffing against kerbs.

The two velcro (hook-and-loop) straps are easy for your child to fasten independently, and they hold the shoe securely across the instep.

What you may want to know about D.D.step all-season shoes

1. Which seasons are D.D.step shoes suitable for?
   The all-season models are ideal for spring, summer and autumn. The leather upper and lining protect your child's feet on cooler days, while the shoes stay breathable enough for warmer weather.
2. Are these shoes suitable for first steps?
   Yes. D.D.step all-season shoes have a fully flexible sole, a roomy toe box and zero drop, features that support natural foot movement and walking much like barefoot.
3. How does the 073 line differ from the 070?
   The 073 has a wider last. If your child's toes feel squeezed in the 070 model, or the instep strap will not fasten, we usually recommend the 073.
4. How should I care for barefoot shoes?
   Remove dirt with a brush or damp cloth. Waterproof the shoes regularly and use a colourless leather balm for a longer life. Do not use a washing machine or tumble dryer.
5. How do I choose the right D.D.step size?
   Measure the length of your child's foot and add 9-12 mm of growing room. Then choose the size from our table.
