FAQ about our Ebmini® children's barefoot shoes
General Information about EBMINI® Barefoot Shoes
1. Who are EBMINI® kids' barefoot shoes suitable for?
EBMINI® kids' barefoot shoes are suitable for babies, toddlers, and children who should move naturally and freely. They support the healthy development of feet – from learning to walk to active everyday life in kindergarten, school, and leisure.
2. Why are barefoot shoes beneficial for children?
Children's feet are still growing and require maximum freedom of movement. Barefoot shoes allow for a natural foot position, strengthen muscles, improve balance and body awareness, and prevent the toes from being constricted.
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 they are standing, from the heel to the longest toe. Then add 12–15 mm of space for growth and movement. Compare the result with the size chart on the respective product page, which is based on the inner length of the shoe.
5. How wide are EBMINI® shoes in the toe area?
EBMINI® children's barefoot shoes feature a wide toe box that gives the toes enough space 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 allows individual sizes to optimally cover several foot lengths without unnecessary intermediate sizes that often lead to confusion.
Wearing Comfort & Everyday Use
7. Can my child wear socks with EBMINI® barefoot shoes?
Yes, of course. Thin, breathable socks can be worn without problems – especially on cooler days or in winter.
8. Can I put insoles or soles in 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 warm lining and non-slip soles. Please refer to the respective product description.
Materials & Care
10. What material are EBMINI® shoes made of?
Our shoes are made of high-quality microfiber leather, which was specially developed for children's shoes. It is breathable, antibacterial, lightweight, water-repellent, vegan, and particularly easy to care for.
11. How do I properly clean EBMINI® barefoot shoes?
Light dirt can be removed with a damp cloth. For heavier soiling, use lukewarm water and mild soap. Please do not wash in the washing machine and do not dry on a heater.
