Questions about the product Historical children's shoes made of leather

What type of leather was used for these historical children's shoes, and from which specific era do they originate?

These antique children's shoes were made of high-quality smooth leather. They are estimated to date from the late 19th or early 20th century.
What is the best care for these historic leather shoes to ensure their longevity?

To ensure the longevity and authenticity of vintage leather shoes, they should be regularly brushed with a soft brush to remove dirt and, if necessary, cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Traditional leather care products such as leather grease, oils, or beeswax are particularly suitable, as they keep the material supple and form a natural protective layer against moisture. After cleaning, the shoes should always be air-dried and never exposed to direct heat to prevent the leather from becoming brittle.
What material was used for the sole of these historical children's shoes and how is it attached to the upper leather?

Genuine cowhide leather was used for the sole of these historical children's shoes, which is attached to the upper leather using a stable through-nailing method.
What sizes are these medieval children's shoes available in, and how can the correct size for a child be determined based on foot length in millimeters?

These medieval children's shoes are typically available in sizes 24 to 34. To determine the correct size, measure the child's foot length from heel to longest toe in millimeters and add approximately 12 mm for growth and gait. The sum of the foot length and the allowance gives the required inner length of the shoe, which you can then compare to a standard size chart.
