MIKI HOUSEWe will introduce how to handle pre-shoes. Please take a look at the product you have and check the relevant parts.
Preschools' attention to detail
The baby's feet are mostly made up of cartilage, and the cartilage that is growing is weak and prone to deformation. It is said that the foot skeleton is completely formed around the age of 18, and if you continue to wear shoes that do not suit your feet during the period up until then, it can hinder the correct growth of your body as well as your feet.
Also, when babies start walking, their cerebrum is stimulated by the various sensations transmitted from the soles of their feet, which encourages the development of sensory organs such as balance, so it is very important to walk a lot barefoot. Therefore,MIKI HOUSEThe pre-shoes are designed with a focus on "barefoot feel."
Preshoes Features
①Foot design
The toes are designed with roomy and rounded so that you can walk with your fingers as if you were holding the ground.
②Barefoot sole design
The sole is made of special synthetic nanofibers that are thin, soft and have moderate grip. The midsole is made of thin, soft urethane material so that you can feel the feeling of walking on the ground barefoot to the soles of your feet.
③ Fit adjustment using the instep belt
The shape of your foot varies depending on the child, so it is important to secure the ankles with the instep belt of the shoe to fit them. The instep belt is also effective for adjusting the height of the instep, which varies from person to person.
④ Inside that is good for your feet
The inside is made of a soft material that feels good on the skin, and by reducing unevenness caused by sewing and parts, we focus on how it feels on your feet.
⑤Inlet pads
The opening where the feet touch is soft padded to gently wrap around your feet.
⑥ Soft counter
It supports the heels of children who are prone to fall over when the impact of landing, making it less likely to tilt, and improves the sense of unity with the shoes and stabilizes walking. These shoes are worn during the season when you are in a jewellery event, so the hardness of the counter is slightly softer than the first shoe, taking into consideration the amount of foot in mind.
7. Lightweight design
Due to its lightweight design, it helps you get used to the shoes with a feeling that is almost barefoot.
*There are some exceptions depending on the item.
Examples of usage
It can also be used as a practice shoe to get used to first shoes.
*Please be careful of severe wear on asphalt and gravel roads. Since it is made of soft material, repeated rubbing on the ground may cause tears.
*When learning to toddle and go on a serious outdoor walk, switch to first shoes.
How to choose pre-shoes
Try on both feet and check the condition you actually wear them before choosing them. Even shoes with the same size display may vary slightly in internal dimensions and comfort depending on the design and material. Make sure to check the fit, ease of movement, and the area around your feet before choosing. The perfect condition is to have a moderate amount of room on the toes so that they do not interfere with the movement of your fingers.
When wearing, align your heels tightly, then secure your ankles with an instep belt or something similar to ensure that your feet do not move back and forth inside the shoes.
- Although there are individual differences, children's feet grow very quickly, with children growing approximately 1cm per year until they are around the age of two.
Therefore, even if it is just the right size at first, it can become cramped before you notice it. Make sure to measure your feet frequently for about three months, and choose the perfect size for your feet. - Please be careful as continuing to wear shoes that do not fit your feet may interfere with the correct growth of your feet or body, and may cause scratches, groins and injuries.
- The shape of your feet and how you walk vary depending on your child, so please avoid putting on some quirky shoes after wearing them.
Care instructions
Care methods vary depending on the material of the upper part (the fabric part that wraps around the feet).

Cloth shoes (natural fibers, synthetic fibers, etc.)
- To wash, use a neutral detergent diluted with water or lukewarm water, and lightly wash using a soft brush.
- Please avoid using detergents with strong cleaning power, such as weak alkaline detergents (shoe detergents), as this may cause color fading.
- Avoid applying detergent directly to your shoes as this may cause color fading.

- Please avoid using a washing machine as it may damage the fibers.
- If the shoes are left covered in a lot of water, they may lead to stains, fading, and color transfer.
- After washing, be careful not to lose its shape, slowly press and wring it out with your hands, then wipe off the water thoroughly with a dry cloth, then fill it with white paper or something similar to shape it, and dry it in a well-ventilated shade.
- Please be especially careful of stains, fading, and color transfer when using color schemes or dark-colored shoes.
- After washing, due to insufficient rinsing, detergent and other residues may appear on the surface, but if this occurs, wash again as soon as possible.
