About the brand
Bartek is a Polish family company founded in 1991. The founders of the company, the Bartnitsky couple, worked in the shoe industry, but the crisis of the 90s ruined state enterprises and the family couple decided to try their hand at their own Wykromax business. The production began with the purchase of used machines for cutting and sewing footwear.
Initially, the company specialized in women's models. But with the birth of their first child, entrepreneurs noticed a lack of high-quality shoes for children with anatomically correct shapes. So the specialization of the company was redesigned for the production of children's shoes and the Bartek brand appeared.
Company mission: to protect customers and the environment by using safe materials for production.
Today the Bartek group of companies is a world-renowned manufacturer of children's and teenage footwear, the production of which is based on high technologies and the introduction of innovative production methods.

Reviews
Parental reviews of the Bartek brand are impressive in their variety and quite positive.
Many parents believe that children's shoes should only be designed for the season, as the baby's foot grows very quickly. The Bartek brand refutes this fact. Many parents choose unisex models so that later they will go to the next child. Thrifty parents pass their kids' shoes on to their friends, while the look and condition is in no way inferior to new models.
Thus, not small purchase costs are fully paid off by the durability of the socks.
Of course, parents closely monitor the health of their child and the recommendations of leading doctors.The latest recommendations from orthopedic doctors indicate that summer shoes are preferable to wear without socks. The closed summer Bartek shoes, made of genuine leather, prevent dust from entering, protect the foot from injury and promote proper gait.
As for the winter models, parents agree on the uniqueness of the reinforced toe and heel. On the one hand, the heel is securely fixed and the leg does not wobble, and on the other hand, the toes and forefoot are not compressed, which prevents the leg from freezing. The protected toe prevents the garment from scratching the skin and therefore preserves the look of the garment.
Another advantage of Bartek products is thoughtful and comfortable fasteners, which the child can handle in the kindergarten, although the lineup is also represented by lace-up shoes. Velcro is durable, easy to clean, does not wear out from constant use.
For the off-season weather, many parents choose rubber boots to keep their feet dry. But many parents tend to opt for Bartek demi-season shoes, as they have a special coating and prevent excess moisture from entering, but allows the foot to breathe.
Children and adolescents are very demanding in the choice of clothing and footwear. The lineup of Bartek company allows you to satisfy the needs of the most demanding fashionistas. Colors, interesting details, funny fasteners allow children and teenagers themselves to make a choice.
The question of price worries many buyers. According to reviews, the cost of Bartek is quite high, but the time-tested quality and ergonomics of products definitely justify the cost.
