Rain boots – barefoot shoes for kids

#ShowMore#

Barefoot wellies for kids to play in puddles, wet and mud. Choose from dozens of pairs of rubber boots for girls and boys with the option to return any shoes that don't fit within three weeks of receipt.

Use of children's barefoot boots

Children's barefoot wellies will find use especially:

in the rain, for jumping in puddles
in a wet playground or garden
in muddy terrain
in snow (insulated models)

The rubber boots are designed for short-term wear due to their loose construction. For a day trip to the countryside or playing in the forest nursery we recommend rather high top shoes.

Advantages of barefoot boots

Compared to regular rubber boots, barefoot boots offer the following advantages:

soft materials, guaranteeing overall flexibility, i.e. better movement technique
a wide toe in which the fingers can spread and function
a flat sole that does not shift the centre of gravity out of the optimal position

Barefoot boots, however, cannot be described as 100% barefoot shoes because they usually have a higher sole than the rest of barefoot footwear.

How to choose children's barefoot boots?

You can buy barefoot boots online and try them on in the comfort of your own home.

Measure the child's foot to know the exact length of the foot
Add 10-12 mm of oversize to the length to give the foot enough room to grow in the shoe and the toes
The sum gives you the desired internal length of the shoe, through which you can easily filter the appropriate rubber boots
