Lieblinge® Learning-to-Walk Shoes "Knots" with Soft Lieblinge® Eco-Natural Rubber Sole

Whether at home, in daycare, or outside in good weather. The mega-soft, non-slip natural rubber sole and foot-friendly shape make them perfect for all kids making their first attempts to stand up to walking independently.

The all-rounder for the whole year, indoors and outdoors. The unique feature of the cute Lieblinge® Knots (English = knots) is the ultra-soft sole and the foot-friendly barefoot shape. This allows your child to walk almost as if they were barefoot. Only this way can the valuable sensory impulses be transmitted to the brain during this important developmental phase, ensuring optimal strengthening of the little feet.

Optionally, order Lieblinge® wool felt insoles for the cold days or as "growth buffers" to be removed later in the matching size directly here.

Lieblinge makes all Lieblinge® barefoot learning-to-walk shoes according to the latest anatomical insights with loving handwork in a small manufactory in Berlin. This creates an anatomically natural, incomparably soft, and at the same time minimally beautiful children's shoe.

The ecologically tanned natural leather is buttery soft and breathable, without artificial surface protection. This maintains an unpolluted, environmentally friendly material that is safe for delicate children's skin. For the best weather protection of the ecological leather, be sure to treat it with Lieblinge® ecological leather grease.

Models made of eco-leather are very soft and not suitable for permanent use with Bobby Cars, balance bikes, etc.!

CLEANING

If your Lieblinge get dirty or you want to freshen them up, wipe them with a soft, slightly damp cloth. You can also use a mild soapy solution (e.g., an ecological hand soap or a gentle organic soap). Rub gently, especially on two-tone models, moving from a dark area to a light area to avoid discoloration. For heavier dirt, you can use a brush and mild soapy solution. Always test on a less visible area before cleaning and check the result before treating the entire shoe. Lieblinge should not be washed in the washing machine!

CARE PRODUCTS

The best way to keep your Lieblinge soft and durable is by using our high-quality and toxin-free Lieblinge Leather Grease. It is entirely developed and manufactured in Germany according to NCP (Nature Care Product) standards. It uses only natural origin materials, no microplastics, no genetic engineering, no environmentally harmful additives, and no animal testing.

With commercial leather care products, it is almost impossible to find out what ingredients are included because they are not labeled and usually contain petroleum derivatives.

LEATHER CARE:

Simply apply the Lieblinge Leather Grease thinly and rub it in. You can do this with a cotton cloth or just with your fingers. This care is also recommended if you are outdoors a lot and want to protect the shoes from moisture or if your Lieblinge have gotten wet. It's better to apply too much than too little.

IF YOUR LIEBLINGE GET WET…

If your Lieblinge get wet, it’s best to stuff them with paper and let them dry gently. Do not place the Lieblinge on or near a heater to dry. This can cause the leather to dry out, become stiff and brittle, and possibly lead to color changes.

CHROME-FREE NATURAL LEATHER

The ecological, vegetable-tanned leather used for Lieblinge is a natural product and meets the highest ecological standards. It is safe and free from heavy metals. No lacquers, plastics, or similar surface seals are used. This ensures you receive a natural, low-toxin product. The open-pored and highly breathable leather is more sensitive to stains than conventional, industrially manufactured chrome leather. Dyed, chemically untreated, and especially uncoated natural leather can bleed when wet, depending on the color. Keep this in mind, for example, when wearing white socks in the shoes or if the shoes get wet.
