About Tiny Steps Flex Primarna Funkcija: Cipele Za Bebe I Malu Djecu
Book Text: Tiny Steps Flex je par cipela dizajniranih za bebe i malu djecu koja prelaze iz faze puzanja u fazu hodanja. Vanjski đon koristi dvosmjerne hvataljke inspirisane ovčjim papcima kako bi se poboljšalo prianjanje uz podlogu i stabilnost. Specijalizovani svod između jagodica palca i malih prstiju omogućava prirodnu fleksiju prstiju. Gornji dio izrađen je od prirodnog vlakna, lagan je i elastičan, čime omogućava slobodno kretanje stopala. Široka mekana traka olakšava obuvanje i izuvanje cipela. Gornji dio i vanjski đon su prošiveni, čime se izbjegava upotreba hemijskih ljepila. Uložak od pelina s masažnim tačkama dodaje antibakterijsku udobnost.
