Description
The product is a pair of black pram shoes. The upper is made of polyurethane (PU) plastic. The stitched outer sole is made of cotton canvas and has a rubberised polyurethane-based puff print applied to improve grip. The outer sole is considered to be of non-durable construction. None of the individual layers is sufficiently durable to be treated as the outer sole, therefore, the constituent material of the outer sole is determined by the material of the layer that is in direct contact with the ground. Each shoe features a Velcro fastening with a decorative bow on the front. The sole is printed with the word “baby” and geometric patterns. They designed for babies and young children. The shoes are packed in plastic bags.
