TSUKIHOSHI 1002 NEKO Machine Washable Baby Sneaker - Navy/Tangerine, 4.5 Toddler (1-4 Years)

Tsukihoshi: Footwear for Healthy, Growing Feet

In 1873, two shoemakers in Japan opened a shop to create "Tabi shoes" - a traditional minimalist moccasin or sock-shoe that allowed feet to flex and maintain contact with the ground. Over 140 years later, their company, Tsukihoshi, continues to specialize in made-for-play children's shoes that promote freedom of movement and healthy growth.

The Tsukihoshi NEKO Baby Sneaker is a testament to this legacy. Designed for infants and toddlers aged 0-4, this shoe is crafted to support natural foot development and adventurous play. Its key features include:

Wide Toe Box: Allows toes to splay naturally, mimicking barefoot movement and enhancing grip and balance.

Machine Washable: Dirty shoes are no problem - the NEKO can withstand repeated cold-water washing to stay looking new.

Lightweight, Flexible Soles: Promote correct foot flexing and more natural movement throughout the day.

Firm Heel Stabilizer: Supports the heel in a neutral position and helps prevent overpronation.

Natural Green Tea Insole: Infused with green tea extract to help kill odor-causing germs without harsh chemicals.

Easy On and Off: Features a kid-friendly rear finger loop and hook-and-loop strap closure for a snug, adjustable fit.

Non-Slip, Non-Marking Outsole: Provides traction for outdoor play and won't scuff indoor surfaces.

Pedorthist Friendly: The removable insole, long counters, and child-specific patterns make the NEKO a favorite among pedorthists looking to accommodate customized orthotics or AFOs.

Available in a variety of vibrant color schemes, the NEKO baby sneaker is designed to withstand the demands of active little ones. Its durable, abrasion-resistant upper and cold-water washability ensure the shoe can keep up with the adventurous spirit of infants and toddlers.

Tsukihoshi's commitment to healthy, natural foot development is evident in every aspect of the NEKO design. The generous toe box, flexible soles, and supportive heel stabilizer work together to encourage proper foot alignment and movement as children grow. And the use of green tea in the insole offers a gentle, chemical-free way to keep odors at bay.

Whether your little one is just learning to walk or already exploring the playground, the Tsukihoshi NEKO Baby Sneaker is a reliable, versatile choice that supports healthy, confident steps. Trust the legacy of Tsukihoshi to provide footwear that allows freedom to move and grow, now and for years to come.
