Please remember our shoes are hand printed by actual people, so there may be areas of print which are not perfect.
Mini Shoes
Our mini shoes are what all babies and toddlers have been waiting for. The perfect combination of barefoot and shoe, allowing foot to ground contact with a little natural protection. The suede sole provides a hardy non-slip surface, which moves with your baby's foot. You can use them as a rather natty pre-walker shoe to avoid cold toes on a buggy ride or as an indoor shoe/slipper. Rest assured, what ever you do with your mini shoes, they'll be a talking point.
Most of our Mini Shoes are made from 100% cotton and Suede. You'll also be happy to know that unlike most other brands these Baby Shoes have no exposed elastic, which means no nipping or chafing of skin. Our shoes are constructed to conceal the elastic, which has the added benefit of shoes that stay on. Oh, and because babies like to explore with their mouths, every style we produce has to pass a series of chemical compliance tests, just to check there are no nasties hiding. We test to make sure there is no Chrome, Lead, formaldehyde, phthalates, organotin compounds, Azo Dyes or disperse dyes. All our shoes are free from choke hazards, like sequins, beads and appliques.
Where to Wear:
We recommend Poco Nido Mini Shoes are worn indoors, they can also be used outdoors in dry weather occasionally. Although they are durable, they are still a soft sole and may not protect against broken glass or other debris found outside. Our baby shoes should not be used for crawling outside because of abrasion to the fabric upper on outdoor surfaces.
Caring For Your Poco Nido Mini Shoes:
We recommend spot clean/wipe only. Due to the nature of real leather the sole will stiffen and harden if you put them through the washing machine, the leather will also become less grippy on smooth floors. If you find this happens over time with use, or if the mini shoes were washed by accident you can try and buff up the suede sole with a stiff brush.
Available in other prints with matching items, or mismatching, if that's your bag. Sizes 3-6m, 6-12m, 12-18m, 18-24m, Eur 21, Eur 22.
Also available are Euro 23 & 24 size with an indoor Vegan Sole.
We don't make 0-3m, newborns don't need shoes.
All our full price mini shoes come packaged in a cardboard box which can be up cycled into a photo frame. Made by people in China at a socially audited factory.
Midi Shoes
Our Midi Shoes are the in between. In between the Mini Shoes and the Mighty Shoes. A leather alternative to the Mini Shoes for those of you who want something a little harder wearing. Our leather is chrome free and the shoes are free from choke hazards. Available in Eur 18-21.
Like the Mini shoes the Midi is barefoot friendly. It is crucial for children to spend as much time barefoot as possible to ensure good gait development and prevent pronation issues. Being barefoot improves all over leg/back/ankle muscle strength and allows for correct development of the foot bones, which do not harden until children reach 18.

These shoes are packed in a brown box which can be recycled. Made in Turkey, by real people.
Mighty Shoes
Mighty Shoes are our version of a comfy, sensible, kid's shoe. Plain or Laser etched chrome free, cow leather with soft sheep leather lining. Finished with a durable TPU Outsoles, which can be recycled. Barefoot walking friendly because of the thin, super flexible outsole and supple leather allowing full foot mobility.
Suitable for all ages. All trims are nickel free. Made in Europe, by people.
Where to wear:
Perfect for daily use, inside and outside. Great for parties, shopping trips, urban adventures, nursery, travelling.
Due to the luxe nature of the leather our Mighty shoes are not suitable for use with scooters, ride ons, bobby cars or any activity where the toe is dragged/used as a brake. The leather is too soft to withstand the abrasion and as such we are unable to replace shoes which have been used in this way.
Caring for your Poco Nido Shorties:
Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth, nourish as needed with a neutral wax or coloured polish (Amazon has a great selection of colours). If you get mud in the etching -let the mud dry and then brush out with a soft or medium bristle toothbrush or shoebrush.
Our leather is chrome free and the shoes are free from choke hazards. Available in Eur 20-26.
