Janet Middleton, founder and designer of Starchild Shoes kindly sent us a pair of leather baby shoes to try.
Starchild Shoes design and make the most beautiful leather shoes for babies, toddlers and children.
We received a pair of Orchid baby booties from Starchild’s Little Petals range. They are a brilliant pink colour with orchid designs on each shoe in a soft pink and black.
I was really surprised at just how soft and comfortable the booties are. They’re 100% leather, allowing baby’s feet room to grow and the ability to breathe.
All of Starchild’s Shoes are made in a traditional shoe factory in the UK with an emphasis on sustainability, caring for the environment and customer service.
