Baby Octopus Organic Functional Shoes are tailored for kids to constantly and scientifically guide them to learn to walk. Based on the analysis of user survey data over the past ten years, babies start to jump and run after learning to walk. Given babies' foot growth characteristics, we introduced the Baby Octopus Organic Functional Sole, drawing inspiration from the suction cups of an octopus. Bionic octopus suction cups are added to the abrasion-resistant anti-slip rubber outsole to enhance the coefficient of friction (0.24- 0.26 under wet conditions), preventing babies from slipping. The ankle area of the upper is wrapped in bionic suction cups to enhance anti-sprain performance, avoiding side falls or wrong walking postures. The midsole uses Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer (EVA) foam technology, reducing weight by 10%, improving softness by 20%, and increasing cushioning by 30%, ensuring extreme softness and comfort for babies' feet to meet various functional needs. The pioneering "soft puff" high-elasticity foam insole enjoys excellent elasticity and cushioning in addition to mold and bacteria resistance, reducing bacteria growth.
The upper utilizes bio-based materials, including corn fiber and coffee grounds, and the Velcro applies recycled nylon, enabling resource recycling, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions, and ensuring exceptional breathability, resilience, water resistance, and softness.
This product takes a beige-green color scheme, coupled with cute and interesting dinosaur decoration accessories, improving babies' artistic literacy and aesthetic capacity. This product strives to bring safety, comfort, cognition, sense of ceremony and cognition of art to babies to safeguard their healthy growth.
