All Daisy Roots shoes are handmade in England, using special, environmentally friendly, CHROME FREE * leather.
Daisy Roots understands that choosing the correct footwear is
important at any stage in your child’s growth but even more critical
during their first few years.
GENUINE Daisy Roots shoes provide the very best for your child’s
feet in terms of quality and comfort while still allowing the feet to
breath and encouraging continued healthy development.
Each pair of shoes passes through our metal detector to ensure there are no harmful hazards.
The Child Growth Foundation recommends Genuine Daisy Roots shoes.
* Chromium(III) sulphate (Cr2(SO4)3) is a toxic chemical commonly used
as a leather preservative in the tanning process. It is often
associated with cancer of the respiratory tract, skin ulcers, and renal
failure.
CHROME FREE means
that the special soft leather used in the making of Daisy Roots shoes
does not involve the use of Chromium Sulphate. Chrome, like other
chemicals, can be absorbed into the skin through direct contact or
ingested by babies sucking the shoes.
Daisy Roots shoes are made from leather that exceeds the British
Standard requirements to pass BS EN 71-3:1994 (Safety of toys -- Part
3: Migration of certain elements) We believe that we are the only baby
shoe manufacturer to offer this quality standard.
Once our leather has been through the Chrome Free tanning process we then ensure that the dyes used to produce our unique range of colours are also safe and non-toxic.
Everyone is becoming more and more concerned about our global
environment and long-term health of our children. By using the Chrome
Free method of tanning we help to reduce the amount of toxic waste and
at the same time provide you with environmentally friendly footwear for
your child with leather that is truly biodegradable.
