ORANGENKINDER AMIGO barefoot sandals - pink

Product detailed description

Beautiful handmade pink leather sandals with flexible rubber soles by Orangenkinder®

An airy summer version of the best-selling AMIGO line. The Orangenkinder® AMIGO barefoot sandals in antique pink are handmade from breathable, vegetable-tanned organic nappa leather. The non-slip, flexible sole made of rubber and recycled cork makes them ideal for your little adventurers both indoors and in dry outdoor areas.

These breathable children's barefoot sandals with a non-slip, water-repellent sole are ideal as house shoes, kindergarten shoes and even as barefoot and first steps. They ensure a safe and comfortable feeling when running and playing.

For kindergartens: Many facilities now require a more robust alternative to thin leather soles. For short trips to the yard or wet areas, a kindergarten sole with water-repellent properties is essential. Our AMIGO barefoot sole is perfect for this - it is located under a layer of breathable leather that prevents little feet from sweating unnecessarily.

Thanks to the hand-sewn elastic, the children's barefoot sandals do not slip off toddlers' feet, while older children can easily put them on and off. This saves time and makes everyday life easier for parents.

Special detail: Our Amigo sole is not glued, but exclusively sewn. This eliminates the need for potentially harmful adhesives and protects the environment.

For cold days or to adjust the fit, we recommend our cozy felt or wool fleece inserts.

All AMIGO shoes are 100% made in Germany - where the manufacturer has its own factory in Bavaria.

Walking barefoot is best for the healthy development of children's feet. But sometimes a firmer and more protective sole is needed - and this is where our Amigo sole offers the perfect compromise: soft, flexible, yet robust, allowing children to discover the world in a healthy and natural way.

All Orangenkinder® shoes are made by hand from vegetable-tanned leather.

What to look out for when buying leather shoes

Not all leather is created in the same way. On the market, suppliers often offer handmade relatively cheap leather slippers. But where does the supposedly cheap leather for small children's shoes come from? And why would it be better to buy relatively expensive leather slippers with labels and certifications that may not mean anything to you? This question is easy to answer. Cheap leather scraps for crafting often come from industrial leather processing. These factories regularly work with chemical processes that not everyone is aware of. However, it becomes problematic when this leather comes into contact with the sensitive skin of children, especially when combined with the sweat of little feet, and these chemical residues, such as chromium VI or similar, dissolve and are absorbed through the skin. For this reason, you should definitely pay attention to labels such as IVN natural leather, ECARF or Ecopell. These guarantee that the leather used has been lightly vegetable tanned and is subject to strict tests for harmful substances. If you buy leather slippers with the appropriate labels, you can be sure that they are breathable, skin-friendly shoes that are ideal for use by children.

Care

This product is not suitable for washing! Do not wash, rinse or use detergents, dish soap, etc.! It is best to use a brush for cleaning. If necessary, wipe with a damp cloth. When drying, fill with newspaper, dry without strong external influences (do not dry on radiators, etc.)
Dyed leather (intense shades) can lose colour when wet.

In order for Orangenkinder® leather to be as durable as possible, care must be taken to keep it supple, soft and tear-resistant! For this purpose, we recommend using an ecological leather care product. For Orangenkinder® with light soiling, commercially available household olive oil also helps.
