Purchased in 2021 and worn for 3 months. The first shoes have considerable damage. Please check the photos. Home cleaned. The Velcro still has good adhesion and can still be used. These are kids' shoes from the "FIRST" series, designed for babies who are just starting to walk, approximately for the first 3 months. The shape of the toe is designed to curve upwards to prevent tripping and support smooth walking. Furthermore, the rounded edges of the entire sole reduce the chance of catching, which often happens when babies who are unsteady on their feet are walking. The inner material that touches the foot uses "Mediel," a low-irritation material that is highly absorbent, quick-drying, and gentle on the skin. The two adjustable straps make it easy to adjust the fit, and the wide opening makes it easy to put on and take off. They come in a variety of colors that are easy to coordinate with clothing.
