Barefoot shoes - the best choice for a healthy first steps

Your child's first steps are an extremely important moment that lays the foundation for the correct development of gait and posture. At this stage, it is necessary to choose shoes that provide freedom of movement and healthy development.

Barefoot walking shoes are the best solution - they allow natural movement of the feet and contribute to the healthy development of children's feet.

FIRST STEPS

What are barefoot shoes and why are they preferred for toddlers?

How do barefoot shoes contribute to proper development?

• Thin and flexible sole - allows the child to feel the surface under their feet by stimulating nerve endings and improving feedback to the brain.
• Wide front part - allows for natural spreading of the toes, and thus prevents deformations.
• Zero Drop sole - maintains correct posture and even distribution of weight on the feet.
• Lightweight construction - provides comfort and freedom of movement, which is important for the child's active day.

When and why to choose barefoot shoes?

While at home, it is best for the child to walk barefoot, which allows the feet to move naturally and is important in terms of temperature control. But when stepping outside, barefoot shoes become essential. They provide protection from environment such as rough surfaces, cold or moisture, without compromising freedom of movement.

Barefoot shoes through the seasons

• Summer and spring - choose breathable models made of natural materials that prevent sweating and allow air circulation.
• Autumn and winter - models made of wool/sheepskin or leather provide warmth and comfort, while protecting the feet from moisture and cold.
  

We recommend that you use wool barefoot shoes/booties for the baby in the carrier or stroller. They are soft and flexible enough not to hurt and injure the feet. At the same time, the wool will protect from the cold and damp weather in autumn and winter.

Find appropriate models

When choosing shoes for your child, make sure they meet the following criteria:

• Flexible sole - should bend easily in all directions.
• Wide toe box to allow natural spreading of the toes.
• Lightweight materials - for comfort throughout the day of games and running.
• Natural and breathable materials or leather to prevent sweating and possible allergic reactions.
• Flat and thin sole.
