THE DEAL & THE FLAW

The CHECKERED JOY IMPERFECTS prove that even imperfect pairs deserve love!

We’ve identified a potential flaw in these styles which is tragic for us...but a WIN for you! During manufacturing, the printed cotton on some pairs in this batch wasn’t properly reinforced, creating a risk that the fabric may tear under tension - around the ankle area. Most pairs in this batch will be completely fine, but we've heavily discounted the entire run so they can live out their best lives on little feet, and not in our warehouse.

• Prevention: Since these feature elastic laces for easy wear, please take extra care when slipping them on and off! Guide the foot in gently and support the shoe opening rather than pulling hard on the fabric to avoid strain.

• Easy Fix: If tearing occurs, it can easily be repaired with crafty hand-stitching, a fun decorative patch, or a quick visit to a local cobbler. The shoes remain fully functional.
