Žirafa – Safe and Healthy Footwear Awards Go to Three Companies

Žirafa (i.e. Giraffe) is the most popular consumer quality symbol of children's footwear available in the Czech market. It is handed by the Czech Footwear and Leather Association. Today, Žirafa is firmly rooted in the government programme entitled "Czech Quality" aimed to promote and support quality products and services, and is also part of the National Quality Policy.
