Sustainability and environmental friendliness - cactus leather the vegan leather alternative:
Cactus leather is not leather, but a vegan leather substitute. The material originally comes from Mexico. The cactus leather is obtained from the leaves of the nopal cactus (prickly pear). The plant is not cleared, but only renewable leaves are used for production. The cultivation is controlled organic. There is no extra irrigation and no use of pesticides. No energy is used to dry the leaves. The leaves dry in the sun. POLOLOs made from cactus leather contain no animal ingredients. The outer material is cactus leather. The inner material is microfiber.What is the advantage of barefoot shoes?
Walking barefoot and feeling the world with your feet is not only fun for children, but is also the best thing for the development of their little feet. The barefoot shoes from POLOLO are ideal because they recreate this barefoot feeling. So-called minimal or barefoot shoes for children have a wide toe box, are made of breathable, ecologically and health-friendly materials, have a very thin sole and no drop - i.e. no height difference between the heel and the ball of the foot. Barefoot shoes allow children to feel the ground particularly well, so they constantly receive new impulses and their development is promoted. They are also very light and robust. That's why barefoot shoes are a good choice for all occasions - at the same time they promote optimal development of the feet.Additional information
Fit of children's shoes
The human foot takes approximately 18 years to fully develop. Of course, it grows fastest in the beginning. Therefore, you parents should check the fit of your children's shoes every 3-4 months. For POLOLO street shoes, we have always developed removable soles - as far as this was possible for the respective style. On the one hand, you can easily replace a sole (e.g. add a wool sole for the winter) and you can use it to measure the foot length and fit very well. If the imprint of the big toe is already dangerously far forward, then your child has already grown again and is due for the next shoe size. Our soles are all very flexible, especially our Barefoot collection.
POLOLO pursues the highest ecological standards
When producing our POLOLOs in Spain, we pay great attention to ecological, pollutant-free materials and workmanship throughout the entire production chain. We only use German natural leather that is vegetable tanned and certified, organic quality cotton (organic / kbA) and wool from controlled organic animal husbandry (organic / kbT). POLOLOs are allergy-friendly and therefore our leathers are naturally chrome-free.
