SKEANIE was founded by Natasha Barber, a mother who recognized the need for quality soft shoes for her baby. In 2005, she embarked on a journey to create the perfect footwear for children, driven by her passion for foot health and development. Through extensive research and dedication, Natasha launched SKEANIE Shoes for Kids, providing parents with stylish and supportive options for their little ones.
To keep your SKEANIE Ziggie sandals looking their best, it is recommended to spray them with a Shucare Water and Stain Repellent before wear. Regular maintenance is key; simply wipe the sandals with a clean damp cloth or leather wipe to remove dirt and stains. For added care, applying Shucare Leather Conditioner and Renovating Polish will help maintain the softness and color of the leather. Remember, SKEANIE footwear should never be placed in the washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials.
Did you know that a baby's foot contains more cartilage than bone? The structure of the foot develops fully by the age of two, but the bones themselves do not fully harden until around the age of 13. The first three years of a child's life are crucial for foot development, as their feet endure three times more stress than an average adult's foot. Additionally, a child's foot sweats twice as much as an adult's foot, highlighting the importance of breathable and comfortable footwear.
