Great for children with wide feet/high insteps
For children with high insteps or those who are still learning to put on their own shoes, children's shoes with a wide opening and easy to put on are particularly important. This model is ideal for this, because shoes with a wide Velcro fastener make it much easier to put them on and take them off, especially for children who cannot yet stretch their feet when getting dressed. This is much more relaxed for the little ones but also for parents, grandmas and kindergarten teachers. The generous fit also offers enough space for a high instep. Shoes with an adjustable closure system are particularly adaptable.Primero sole
Shoes with flexible soles adapt better to the shape of the foot and make putting them on easier. At the same time, they support natural foot development. The Primero sole is raised over the tips of the toes, so your feet are optimally protected when running, jumping and playing.🌵 Material Vegan leather alternative made from cactus
A new chapter of sustainability! Our barefoot shoes are made from a cactus-based vegan leather alternative. This innovative choice not only protects animals, but also our planet.- The raw material for these children's shoes is a so-called “cactus leather”.
- It is made, among other things, from the leaves of the prickly pear cactus. The plant is not cleared, but the regrowing leaves are used for production.
- The cultivation is controlled organic
- There is no extra irrigation and no use of pesticides.
- It contains no animal ingredients - therefore the model is vegan
- No energy is used to dry the leaves. The leaves dry in the sun.
- Cactus leather is PU coated and therefore water-repellent
size tip
Please make sure you choose the correct size when ordering; you can find information about this in our size table. When the shoes arrive, please take out the insole and place your child's foot on the insole. Then you can see whether there is still enough space at the front for plenty of toe room.Sole
The insole is removable - this makes it easy to determine whether the shoe fits. The flexible TPR outsole in the MINI collection arches well over the toe of the shoe: This means that the toes are particularly well protected when running, jumping and running.

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.
