🌵 This is how cactus leather is made
- 🌱 The raw material is so-called "cactus leather" made from the leaves of the prickly pear cactus – the plant is not cut down, only regrowing leaves are used.
- 🌿 The cultivation is certified organic – no extra irrigation, no use of pesticides
- ☀️ The leaves are shredded and dried in the sun – no energy is used!
- 🧵 This mixture is blended with polyurethane and applied to thin cotton fabric.
- ✨ The drying process creates a soft, flexible leather substitute – cactus leather.
🦶 Lacing & fit – also ideal for narrower feet
- 👟 Robust sneaker sole – High wearing comfort for everyday life, school, playground and adventures

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.
