D.D.step S073-62321 Kids' Barefoot All-Season Shoes Glow-in-the-Dark Mermaid

Leather all-season shoes that work just as well for nursery as they do for day trips. The sole and print glow in the dark, making your child more visible at dusk while delighting little ones. The S073 range is the widest in D.D.step's lineup, giving feet room even where other models start to pinch.

The soft and highly flexible sole lets the foot work naturally. The spacious toe box respects the dominant big toe, while the reinforced toe cap keeps the shoe in good condition even after months of scuffing kerbs.

The double velcro fastening means your child can manage independently while still securing the shoe properly across the instep.

   All-season models are ideal for spring, summer and autumn. Thanks to the leather upper and lining, they protect little feet well even on cooler days while remaining sufficiently breathable for warmer weather.
2. Are these shoes suitable for first steps?
   Yes, D.D.step all-season shoes have a fully flexible sole, spacious toe box and zero drop - features that support natural development of children's feet and barefoot-style walking.

   Remove dirt with a brush or damp cloth. Waterproof shoes regularly and use colourless leather balm for longer life. Don't use a washing machine or tumble dryer.
5. How do I choose the right D.D.step size?
