⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of choking because the decorative beads fixed to the front of the boots can be easily detached and swallowed or inhaled by children. In addition, the product poses a health risk because there is no cap inside the toe and heel part of the boots. Therefore the boots become deformed during use and do not ensure healthy development of feet.
