Boys' Neko by TSUKIHOSHI

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 NEKO Baby Sneaker is a babies' and toddlers' 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 charcoal and sea, fuchsia and light blue, gray and purple, gray and royal blue, navy blue and green, navy blue and red, navy blue and tangerine, purple and berry, and red and royal blue. Great for either the infant learning to walk or the eager toddler learning sports, this baby 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 NEKO baby 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 odors in check without harsh chemicals. Remove insole before washing and allow to air dry.

The Tsukihoshi NEKO Baby Sneaker is a play-hard shoe designed for infants and toddlers aged 0-4. Machine washable, with a hook-and-loop closure and elastic faux-laces for easy on and off, this shoe provides barefoot comfort with its wide toe boxes that allow natural splaying of the toes for balanced landing and maximum comfort. Its ultra-lightweight, non-marking EVA/TPR outsole offers excellent flexibility, abrasive-resistance, shock absorption, stability, and slip-resistance for safety and comfort.

Pedorthist Friendly - With its removable insole, long counters, and child-specific patterns, Tsukihoshi has become a favorite for Pedorthists looking to make modifications to accommodate customized orthotics and/or AFO's. The shoe's insole is infused with natural Green Tea extract (no chemicals) and the shoe last and insole are designed to provide proper arch support for growing kids. The long heel counter also provides optimum stability. The breathable, latex-free textile lining and cushioned foot-bed ensure active comfort.
