⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of choking because the pearls fixed to the outside of the boots can be detached by applying a low force and may be swallowed or inhaled. In addition, there is a health risk because there is no cap in the toe and heel part of the boots to prevent the boots from becoming deformed during use. This could harm the healthy development of the foot.
