TSUKIHOSHI 3580 Velocity Strap-Closure Machine-Washable Child Sneaker Shoe with Wide Toe Box and Slip-Resistant, Non-Marking Outsole – for Toddlers and Little Kids, Ages 1-8

“In 1873, two shoemakers opened a shop to make “”Tabi shoes,”” a traditional Japanese minimalist moccasin or sock-shoe that allows feet to flex and maintain tactile contact with the ground. They named their company Tsukihoshi. Over 140 years later, Tsukihoshi still specializes in made-for-play children’s shoes that allow freedom to move and grow and breathe. Tsukihoshi makes all its shoes with extra toe-box width so that toes can splay, stretch, and wiggle, boosting children’s sense of balance and contributing to healthy arch development and bone alignment as they grow. Trust the name brand that stands for healthy kids with healthy feet. The Tsukihoshi VELOCITY Child Sneaker is a toddlers’ and little kids’ shoe designed for everything from casual wear to hard athletic play. This adorable sneaker is available in a variety of cute and cool color schemes, including blue and lime, green and black, navy and red, gray and camo, and silver and orange. Great for either the toddler who’s just started walking or the young child first learning sports, this child tennis shoe features a non-slip, non-marking outsole. It provides both outdoor traction for running at the playground and indoor traction that won’t scuff your home’s hardwood floors or your gym’s basketball court. The VELOCITY children’s shoe is easy to put on or take off thanks to its convenient rear finger loop and a hook-and-loop strap closure that provides a nice, snug fit. Combining fashion and function, its vivid colors are designed to survive cold-water machine washing so that your boy or girl can play in the dirt. A durable abrasion-resistant upper holds up to hard use. An all-natural green tea insole keeps in check without harsh chemicals. Remove insole before washing and allow to air dry. The Tsukihoshi VELOCITY Child Sneaker is a play-hard shoe designed for toddlers and little kids aged 1-8.”
