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

Navy blue all-season leather trainers with a skateboard print, equally at home at nursery and on a day out. The sole and the print glow in the dark, so your child is easier to see at dusk, and kids tend to love it. The S073 line is the widest in the D.D.step range, so little feet have room where other models start to feel tight.

The soft, very flexible sole lets the foot move naturally. The roomy wide toe box respects the natural shape of the foot and the big toe, while the reinforced toe bumper keeps the shoe in good shape even after months of scuffing against kerbs.

The two velcro straps are easy for your child to fasten alone, and they hold the shoe securely over the instep.

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

1. What seasons are D.D.step shoes suitable for?
   All-season models are ideal for spring, summer and autumn. The leather upper and lining protect 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 as if barefoot.
3. How does the 073 line differ from the 070?
   The 073 is a wider last. If a child's toe feels squeezed in the 070 or the strap will not fasten over the instep, we usually reach for the 073.
4. How should I care for barefoot shoes?
   Remove dirt with a brush or a 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 your child's foot length and add 9-12 mm of extra room. Then pick the size from our chart.
