The Brand
When producing our street shoes, we attach great importance to quality and ecologically sustainable production. Only vegetable-tanned leather (chrome-free) from Germany is used. The leathers have been tested for harmful substances and are allergy sufferers friendly. The sole is removable - this makes it easy to determine whether the shoe fits. The flexible TPR outsole made of thermoplastic rubber arches well over the toe of the shoe: This means that the toes are particularly well protected when running, jumping and running.Shape:
On the Toledo model the Velcro fastener is on the side. Please note that the boots are more suitable for narrower/medium-width feet. Wider feet or feet with a higher instep or a lot of baby fat on the instep should choose the Karla model. Here's how to get started. Real sheep wool The one we use at POLOLO is still unique as a heat storage system and cannot be copied synthetically. The high water absorption capacity of wool creates unique wearing comfort. When it's cold, it keeps you cozy and when you get warm, your child's feet don't sweat in it! You can use wool as one “natural air conditioning” describe.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.respected
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 Karla 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.Sole
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 wool 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.Water repellent
Leather is a supple and durable material. The advantage of leather (especially uncoated leather) is that it is naturally breathable and at the same time relatively impermeable to water. Suede shoes like our “Karla” can be well sealed with waterproofing spray. We recommend the ecological manufacturer Tapir, for example. Because in the interests of children and the environment, we recommend ecological variants that are environmentally and health-friendly. Waterproof In this sense, only rubber boots or synthetic boots are included. These are wonderful when it is raining heavily and your child wants to run around in the rain and puddles. But otherwise they are not breathable and should therefore not be used continuously. Our blog article about this: https://www.pololo.com/expertentipps-kinderschuhe-richtig-pflegen/

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.
