Dodo Shoes, Handmade with Love in Romania
FROM THE MANUFACTURER:
"Dodo Shoes are lovingly created from natural materials, friendly to the skin of the little ones. The leather used is high quality, being imported from Italy, produced according to EU standards. The number one principle we follow is to ensure healthy footwear for children, which means letting the foot grow beautifully and naturally. Given this aspect, we decided that our shoes should not have lining or reinforcements, which would interfere with the growth of the bone. The sole is made of 3 mm natural rubber, being extremely flexible and non-slip.
We know that all parents, like us, are concerned about making healthy choices for their children. We chose the insoles we use to be made of vegetable tanned leather, so that the shoes can be worn lightly on the bare foot, without the risk of transferring chemicals to the child's skin.
The shape of the shoes is anatomical, leaving enough space for children's little toes. Thus, the skeletal system, ligaments and muscles, which are in full formation in the first years of life, can develop naturally.
Our shoes fall into the category of barefoot footwear, shoes that are becoming more and more popular among parents looking for healthy alternatives for their children."
SIZING
Please refer to the size chart for exact measurements of Dodo shoes. The manufacturer recommends that their minimalist shoes should be a maximum of 4-5 mm (for children under 2 years) and a maximum of 7 mm (for children over 2 years) over the size of the child's sole. They recommend that you do not choose a size too large because, having no reinforcements, the shoe is very flexible and the child might trip.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Gently clean the shoes with a cloth dampened in cold water, without detergent or other substances.
- Do not immerse the shoes in water!
- Carefully clean the stains and avoid heavy rubbing or rough brushing as they can damage the material.
- Dry the shoes at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight or other heat sources.
- Do not wash in the washing machine.
