An Inch Blue classic our cheeky monkey is a cute unisex design for babies and toddlers. Motif chocolate/tan suede sewn over a red leather shoe.
Benefits
Inch Blue shoes are recommended as the next best thing to bare feet. Made from soft leather they allow feet to breathe. Shoes are light and flexible so little feet can move freely without restriction. Soft soles allow pre-walkers to feel and grip the ground, helping them develop a sense of balance. The elasticated ankle makes them easy to put on and stay on.
Suede Vs Rubber Soles
Suede soles are non-slip, lightweight and are ideal for babies, crawlers and pre-walkers. Suitable for indoor and light outdoor use in dry conditions.
For walkers we have added a layer of natural rubber to our suede soles that is super flexible so doesn’t restrict movement and still allows them to grip the floor. Our ‘Gripz’ rubber soles offer an extra layer of protection for toddlers and are more durable for outdoor use in damp conditions.
We recommend you always measure the length of your child’s feet.
Age is listed as a guide but all children are different.
The gap between the big toe and end of shoe should be 8mm - 15mm.
(if less than 8mm the shoes are too small)
Shoe collars can be personalised with a name, nickname or special message.

Recommended Use and Care for Inch Blue Shoes
Ideal Usage: Suitable for indoor and light outdoor use in dry conditions.
Rubber Soles: Can withstand damp conditions, but avoid getting wet or muddy.
In Case of Wetness: If shoes become wet, stuff them with paper and allow to dry naturally.
Important: Do not machine wash.
Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can cause colours to fade over time.
Care for Specific Materials
SUEDE:
Use a suede brush for suede parts, such as soles and motifs. Caution: Do NOT use a suede brush on leather uppers.
APPLIQUE Designs:
Clean with a damp cloth or baby wipe for best results.
PRINTED Designs:
Dragging toes on rough surfaces may damage the print.
Be mindful of surfaces to maintain design integrity.
Clean with a damp cloth only; do NOT use wipes as some may remove colour.
Avoid contact with hand sanitizers, oil-based liquids, and creams that can stain.
Understanding Wear and Tear
The leather will naturally wear and fade in areas that are frequently drag across surfaces, especially on toes. This wear and tear is a normal part of ensuring little feet are protected while on the move and indicates the shoes are fulfilling their purpose effectively.
