Spare Velcro Straps
Hook-and-loop straps wear out before the rest of the shoe does. Four replacement straps, two short and two long, to fit the hook-and-loop shoes in the First Walkers, Everyday and School lines. Stated here because a worn strap on a shoe under three years old is a defect we replace, not a consumable you should have to buy.

What it is made of
The three rows below are the legal footwear label required across the European Union. They are printed on a label inside the shoe as pictograms, and written out here in words so nobody has to decode a symbol to know what they are buying.
Country of manufacture is stated on the label sewn into every pair and on your invoice. We do not use origin as a marketing claim.
| Part | Category | Material |

| Lining & insoleForro e palmilha | other materialsOutros materiais | Not applicable: this is a strap set, not a shoe |
| OutsoleSola | other materialsOutros materiais | Not applicable: this is a strap set, not a shoe |
Each row names the material that makes up at least 80 % of that part. Where no material reaches 80 %, the two main ones are named. Couro is used only where a part is leather in the legal sense — hide from an animal. A coated or synthetic material is never described as leather.
The five chemical checks
Children’s footwear is held to tighter limits than adult footwear on all five of these. Where a restriction has nothing in this pair to apply to, the row says so instead of going blank.
| Restriction | Limit | Method | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chromium VI in leatherNo leather or coated leather in this pair, so the leather chromium restriction does not apply to it. | ≤ 3 mg/kg | EN ISO 17075-1 | Not applicable |
| Azo dyes — releasable aromatic aminesApplies to every dyed component that touches skin. REACH Annex XVII, entry 43. | ≤ 30 mg/kg | EN ISO 14362-1 (textile) / EN ISO 17234-1 (leather) | Tested per batch |
| Nickel release from metal partsThis pair has no metal part in prolonged contact with skin, so the nickel release restriction does not apply to it. | ≤ 0.5 µg/cm²/week | EN 1811 | Not applicable |
| Phthalates in plasticised partsNo plasticised PVC component in this pair, so the phthalate restriction has nothing to apply to. | DEHP + DBP + BBP ≤ 0.1 % by weight | EN 14372 / ISO 14389 | Not applicable |
| Free formaldehyde, parts touching skinLinings and insoles are tested because they sit against the foot for hours at a time. | ≤ 16 mg/kg | EN ISO 14184-1 | Tested per batch |
All five checks are resolved on every product before it can be listed. Where a restriction has nothing to apply to, we say so rather than leaving the row blank. Batch test reports are available on request at support@poderinfantilshoes.homes.
Keeping it clean
Machine or hand washable at up to 30 °C. Hand wash at up to 30 °C.
Washable at 30 °C — the temperature is part of the claim, not a footnote to it.
What we will not claim
This pair carries no water resistance rating, so we make no claim about wet weather. Where a pair does have one, the test conditions are printed next to it.
We describe how our shoes are made. We don't give advice about your child's feet. If you have concerns, ask a healthcare professional.
Trying them on
Indoors, on carpet, with the sock they will actually be worn with. You have 14 days to change your mind. The one thing that stops a return is outdoor wear on the sole, and we would rather say that here than after you have posted them back.
Not sure it is the right pair?
Write to support@poderinfantilshoes.homes or call +351 256 871 538 with the foot length and we will tell you plainly whether we make something that fits, including when the answer is that we do not.
Monday to Friday, 09:00–18:00 (Europe/Lisbon). We reply to email within one business day.
