Ricosta Chrisy

German brand Ricosta has long been trusted by specialist children's shoe retailers for the quality and care that goes into every pair and the Chrisy is a fine example of their approach. The premium leather upper and lining are ecologically and environmentally friendly, free from hazardous preservatives and chrome VI free, an important consideration for parents who are conscious of what goes next to their baby's sensitive skin. It's the kind of detail that quietly sets Ricosta apart from mass-market alternatives.

The double rip-tape fastening makes getting the boot on and off straightforward without losing a secure fit around the ankle, and the removable leather footbed supports the natural shape of a developing foot. For families who use prescribed insoles or orthotics, the removable footbed means the Chrisy can accommodate these without compromise. Underfoot, the natural rubber sole is exceptionally light and flexible, bending with every small step while absorbing the impact of early, unsteady walking. A protective toe-bumper adds a layer of durability exactly where little walkers need it most.
