Native Children's Shoes

Frequently Asked Questions

What's so good about Native shoes?

Native shoes are highly regarded for their practical design and comfortable features, best exemplified by popular models like the Jefferson. Key benefits include their   shock-absorbent   construction,   odor-resistant   properties, and   hand-washable   material, ensuring both comfort and easy maintenance. Additionally, Native shoes are available in an extensive and   infinite assortment of colors and treatments  , offering a wide range of stylistic choices.

Do Native shoes shrink in the sun?

Yes, Native shoes can shrink if exposed to prolonged direct sunlight or high heat. This is because they are primarily made from EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate), a lightweight and flexible material that is highly heat-sensitive.

When exposed to high temperatures, such as those found in direct sun or hot cars, the EVA material can deform, warp, or shrink, potentially affecting the shoe's fit and shape. To prevent this, Native Shoes advise keeping their footwear away from direct sunlight and other hot environments.

Do your feet sweat in Native shoes?

While your feet may sweat in Native shoes, their highly breathable design allows moisture to evaporate quickly. This prevents the accumulation of sweat, keeping your feet cool and comfortable, and effectively prevents the shoes from developing odors.

Do Native shoes stretch out?

Yes, Native Shoes, particularly those made from EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) material, are designed to stretch and conform to the wearer's foot over time. This natural stretching allows the shoes to mold for a more personalized and comfortable fit with extended wear.
