If you are looking for only the best for children, the environment and health, you should use raw materials and leather that have been known for thousands of years when making children's shoes: tanning leather was based on vegetable raw materials such as bark, wood, pods, leaves or roots the tried and tested method over many generations. Around 300 different plant species worldwide are used to produce tannins.
