Shoe sizes: Please check which shoe size is right for your child before purchasing. To determine the correct shoe size, please place your child's feet on a piece of paper and draw around the outside with a pen. Please make sure that the toes are “stretched” and that your child is standing correctly. Then measure your foot drawing from the heel to the longest toe in centimeters with a ruler. Please add at least 1,2 - 1,5 cm tolerance for the toe space and look in our table to see which inside shoe length would be the right one. It's better to allow a little more tolerance, especially for winter shoes that are still lined.
Note: Children's feet grow by two to three shoe sizes per year in the first few years. Therefore, you should check your shoe size every 3-4 months to make sure that your foot is not restricted. To do this, you can remove the insole of the model. You can usually see very clearly where the big toe left its mark. But just put the child's foot on the sole again (while standing!) and see if there is still enough space.
Broad entry: The entrance to this model is large and so the children's boots can be put on very easily. With the wide climbing, the model can also be optimally closed over a wide instep.
The shoes are well suited for medium and wide feet.
The flexible POLOLO TPR walking sole Made of thermoplastic rubber has good slip resistance and is specially designed for the needs of small children. It arches well over the tips of the shoes: This means that the toes are particularly well protected when running, jumping and running. The sole is heel-free, very light and flexible.
The insole can be removed. This is the best way to check whether the shoes fit well. You can also order insoles from POLOLO if the model is passed on, for example.

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.
