FAQ about our Ebmini® children's barefoot shoes
General information about EBMINI® barefoot shoes
1. Who are EBMINI® children's barefoot shoes suitable for?
EBMINI® children's barefoot shoes are suitable for babies, toddlers, and children who want to move naturally and freely. They support the healthy development of the feet – from learning to walk to an active everyday life in kindergarten, school, and leisure activities.
2. Why are barefoot shoes a good idea for children?
Children's feet are still growing and need maximum freedom of movement. Barefoot shoes allow for a natural foot position, promote muscle development, improve balance and body awareness, and prevent toe constriction.
Our barefoot shoes are ideal for everyday wear, kindergarten, school, playgrounds, walks, and light outdoor activities. Depending on the model, they are also suitable for autumn and winter.
Sizes & Fit
Measure your child's foot while standing, from heel to longest toe. Then add 12–15 mm for growth and movement. Compare the result with the size chart on the respective product page, which is based on the shoe's inner length .
5. How wide are the EBMINI® shoes in the toe area?
EBMINI® children's barefoot shoes feature a wide toe box that gives the toes ample room to spread naturally. This supports healthy foot development and prevents pressure points or deformities.
6. Why are there no sizes 20 and 21?
Our sizes are based on the actual inner length of the shoe . This means that individual sizes optimally cover several foot lengths without unnecessary intermediate sizes that often lead to confusion.
Comfort & Everyday Use
7. Can my child wear socks with EBMINI® barefoot shoes?
Yes, of course. Thin, breathable socks can be worn without any problems – especially on cooler days or in winter.
8. Can I put insoles or orthotics into EBMINI® shoes?
Our shoes are designed for barefoot walking. Thin, flexible insoles can be used if needed, but should not restrict the natural movement of the foot.
Yes. EBMINI® offers special winter-suitable barefoot shoes with a warm lining and non-slip sole. Please refer to the individual product description.
