Kids leather barefoot sandals collection - Febo JOY

The Febo Joy collection brings high-quality leather sandals, designed to provide comfort in the summer and at the same time good adaptation to different foot shapes. Leather naturally has excellent thermoregulatory properties, which is why the sandals are pleasant on hot days and can also function in slightly cooler weather. The lining is textile, which helps to better absorb any sweat and increases comfort when worn all day. Even though these are leather sandals, the models are light and airy.

The fastening is solved with two Velcro fasteners, thanks to which you can easily regulate the instep part and adjust the tightening as needed. The sandals have a removable textile insole. The cut of the collection is especially suitable for flipper-shaped feet and can often be tightened well around a narrower ankle. The suitability for the instep is usually better for normal to lower insteps.

Why choose: leather sandals with thermoregulation properties, light and airy design, textile lining for greater comfort, two Velcro fasteners for easy adjustment, removable textile insole, cut suitable for flippers.

Suitable for: summer, regular outdoor wear, vacation, playground and walks, children with flipper-shaped feet (narrower heel, wider front), normal to low instep. For width and height of the instep, we recommend following the recommendations for a specific model.

Selection tips: measure the length and width of the foot while standing and choose according to the size chart for a specific model. Use both Velcro fasteners to fine-tune the tightness so that the sandal holds but does not press. If the child wears the sandals barefoot, the textile lining can help with comfort when sweating. For a higher instep, we recommend checking whether the specific model fits according to the description.

Mini-FAQ:

Are sandals suitable for hot weather?
Yes, leather has good thermoregulatory properties and sandals are breathable.

Does a child have to wear socks in sandals?
It is not necessary, but it depends on the sensitivity of the child's skin. The sandals have a leather insole and a soft lining, which are also comfortable for bare feet. Leather naturally absorbs sweat, which increases the comfort of wearing barefoot.

Are these shoes suitable for a "flip-flop" foot?
Yes, the Joy models are ideal for this type of foot. They have a very wide anatomical toe (for free toes), but at the same time a significantly narrowed heel, so they hold well on a flip-flop foot and do not slip off.

Are they adjustable?
Yes, two Velcro fasteners allow for regulation of the tightening on the instep.

Do you need impregnation and what should be the summer care for summer sandals?
Although these are summer shoes, impregnation is recommended. It protects the leather from excessive dust and dirt settling deep into the pores. Thanks to it, the sandals are much easier to clean later with just a damp cloth.

What type of impregnation is best for smooth leather and brushed leather (velour)?
For smooth leather, impregnation sprays with nutrition or beeswax are ideal. For brushed leather (suede/velour), use only sprays intended for suede that do not stick together the fine hairs of the leather.

What to do if the leather hardens after drying in the summer?
This happens if the leather loses moisture. A special leather balm or emulsion will help, which will soften the material again. Never dry shoes in direct sunlight, which dries the leather the most.
