Why walking barefoot is so healthy for children

Walking barefoot is more than just a trend – it is a valuable contribution to your child’s healthy development.

Without hard soles or constricting shapes, the foot can move freely, muscles are strengthened, balance is improved, and sensory perception is trained. Children who regularly walk barefoot develop a better sense of their bodies and often exhibit a more upright posture.

Approach the transition to barefoot shoes carefully

The transition from conventional children's shoes to barefoot shoes should be done gradually.

Start with short barefoot phases at home on safe surfaces like wood or carpeted floors. Then, you can slowly introduce your child to barefoot shoes, which adapt to the foot like a second skin. Look for models with flexible, thin soles and a wide toe box, like those offered by EBMINI®.

Integrate playful barefoot activities into everyday life

Make walking barefoot a natural part of everyday family life: at a picnic in the park, in the garden, on forest floors or on a trip to the beach.

Small games like "tactile trails" with natural materials (cones, stones, moss) or balancing on a tree trunk train foot functions in a playful way. Yoga or balance exercises barefoot are also fun and promote coordination.
