Even a foot can have a best friend. And when she straps into this comfy mary jane from Naturino, it's love at first step. There's a lot to love about this shoe, with a variety of stitching and textures in the smooth fabric upper plus an oversized, easy to use hook-and-loop strap. Best of all, an exclusive "sand effect" system designed into the sandal creates just the right stability so young feet can walk freely and develop a natural, healthier gait. Naturino's success comes from the philosophy that has guided the Italian company for over 30 years: that of following the growth and development of children right from the first steps they take! It was, in fact, the Naturino "first steps" line launched in 1988 that made their company an international hallmark. Dedicated research for the finest materials and collaboration with authoritative foot specialists and pediatrician associations, has allowed Naturino to develop the best shoes for children that are not only comfortable, but also ensure the natural development of children's feet without unnecessary pinching and squeezing. Naturino's range has been extended with models that meet all the requirements of children, from 0 onwards.
