Barefoot shoes for children: Questions for concerned parents

More and more parents are interested in barefoot shoes for children – but many questions remain unanswered. In our parent's guide to shoes, we answer the most common questions at a glance. Whether it's about everyday suitability, fit, or winter use, you'll find the most important information here in a concise and understandable format.

1. Are barefoot shoes warm enough in winter?

Yes! Many models, like our lined EBMINI® winter barefoot shoes, are specially designed for cold days. Thanks to breathable, insulating materials, children's feet stay warm without overheating.

2. Can my child wear barefoot shoes every day?

Absolutely. Barefoot shoes are designed to support natural foot development. They're ideal for kindergarten, the playground, or walks. The prerequisite: the right size and fit.

3. How do I find the right size?

Measure the insole of a well-fitting shoe for your child and compare it to our size chart. Our EBMINI® size guides will help you find the perfect fit.

4. Do barefoot shoes also protect against moisture?

Many parents worry about wet feet – and rightly so. Our waterproof EBMINI® models with membranes or water-repellent microfiber leather keep feet dry and breathable.

5. Are barefoot shoes suitable for beginners?

Barefoot shoes offer optimal conditions, especially for beginners: flexible soles, a wide toe area and low weight promote muscle development and balance.

6. What should I do if my child doesn't want to wear them?

Some children need to get used to the unusual feeling of being barefoot. Start with short periods of wear at home and choose a model in their favorite color – this often helps!

7. How do I properly care for barefoot shoes?

Our EBMINI® shoes are easy to clean. A damp cloth is usually sufficient. Models with microfiber leather are particularly easy to care for and durable.
