Barefoot is the gold standard when it comes to learning to walk, but as every parent knows, it’s not always possible. When your little person is learning to walk, the lumps and bumps of each surface they encounter provide vital proprioceptive input to help strengthen little muscles and ligaments.
Our feather light and super flexible shoes are designed to maintain that all-important feedback loop while protecting precious little feet from prickles, dirt, and other environmental nasties.
So your little treasure can have barefoot benefits without bacteria, bindies or bee stings!
A long time in the making, our Adventurers took the most loved parts of our soft sole shoes (hello thin, flexible and flat sole!) and created a healthy shoe for bigger feet. Working closely with our manufacturer, we kept pushing for a thinner, more flexible sole and said no to the unnecessary support and padding that growing feet don't need. Why? Because our kid's feet need freedom! They need to feel the ground with their toes, feel lumps and bumps underfoot and they should stay totally flat with no heel. We went against the grain to create a shoe that ticks all the 'healthy, barefoot shoe' boxes, but looks just as great at the play ground as it does somewhere fancy. Shop the range now, your little person's feet will thank you!
