| The little bows on the front of these "Clara" shoes are what make them so cute. They have a shiny black patent leather upper with a soft pigskin inner. The leathers are sourced from environmentally aware tanneries and their packaging is fully recyclable. The materials - from the leathers to the rubber soles - have passed the strictest European Safety Standards and the American CPSIA standards. Squeaky shoes have a small plastic removable "squeaker" in the sole and are designed to force air through the "squeaker" as the toddler steps down. This results in a squeaky sound and your child actually walking on a very comfortable cushion of air. They encourage your child to wear their shoes and they usually like them so much that they may not want to take them off! To disable the sound - simply remove the squeaker located in the sole and replace with the non-squeaky inserts (supplied). This procedure is reversible. The shoes are supplied in an attractive Little Blue Lamb shoebox and are available in 5 different sizes from 3 to 7. To find the right size please stand your child on a piece of A4 paper before marking the edges of their big toe and heel with a pencil. Measure the distance between the points in mm before repeating for the other foot. To the longer of the two measurements, add between 5 to 10mm to account for growth and movement before matching to the size chart below. For further details please see our separate Size Guide page. |
