Barefoot sneakers and low top shoes for kids

Lightweight spring shoes

We have been selecting the best spring shoes for the natural development of children's feet for 10 years. On the Footic website, you will find lightweight spring shoes for boys and girls of all ages. Our children also wear barefoot spring shoes so that their feet feel comfortable after the whole winter in snow boots.

E-shop Footic allows you to easily filter spring shoes by size, type, colour, manufacturer and many other parameters. We will be happy to advise you on how to choose the right shoes on our customer service line - you can contact us via chat, e-mail, phone, Facebook or Instagram. The key is always to measure the length and width of the foot accurately. If you're still unsure what the best spring shoes for your child are, take inspiration from our latest comparative review.

You can also search for children's spring shoes by the manufacturer. The most popular brands of spring barefoot shoes for children include BEDA, Froddo, Bobux, Bundgaard, Koel, FARE and Camper. We stock all children's spring shoes and guarantee fast delivery with a return policy of up to three weeks.

Types of barefoot sneakers

Sneakers are divided according to their purpose into:

• hiking sneakers - suitable for trips and the outdoors
• athletic sneakers - for all types of sports or as indoor shoes
  

According to the design we distinguish mainly:

• slip on sneakers and loafers - simple slip on shoes
• closed sneakers - canvas, cotton shoes and other solid materials
• net sneakers - breathable airy shoes

According to the fastening especially:

• lace-up sneakers - with traditional laces or rubber laces with brake
• Velcro sneakers - for easier fastening

Sneakers vs. all-season low top shoes

We perceive the following differences between sneakers and all-season low top shoes:

• Sneakers are for warm weather, year-round low top shoes for colder days
• Sneakers get wet or completely soaked in the wet, all-season low top shoes don't mind rainy weather
• We wear trainers in late spring, summer and early autumn, you can wear all-season low top shoes at any time, but in summer your feet may get hot in them, while in winter you will probably miss the insulation of winter boots when moving outdoors
• Sneakers look sportier, all-season low top shoes slightly more formal

How to choose sneakers for kids?

Don't torment a fidgety child by trying on shoes in the store, buy barefoot sneakers online and try everything out from the comfort of home. The choice is easy:

1. carefully measure the length and width of the kids' feet (e.g. with stops)
2. add an oversize of 10-12 mm to give the child a free space in the sneaker
3. add both numbers and filter the desired internal dimensions of the sneakers
4. optionally add other parameters to the filter, such as colour, producer, etc., or get inspired by the differences between sneaker brands in the last comparison review

Advantages of barefoot sneakers

Barefoot sneakers have the following advantages compared to regular sneakers:

• thanks to the wider toe, they give the fingers enough space for active functioning
• flat sole keeps the body's centre of gravity in a healthy position
• lightweight and flexible construction allows for proper walking technique and easy response to uneven surfaces

Types of kids' sports shoes

By athletic shoes for children we mean in particular:

• fitness shoes for exercise
• indoor and gym shoes
• running shoes for holiday running
• tennis shoes for various outdoor sports

Features of athletic shoes

The sports shoes differ from other barefoot sneakers in particular:

• appearance
• a sole that lasts and does not slip (or, in the case of indoor shoes, does not leave streaks)
• a good fit in the ankle to keep the foot in the shoe when moving

What are outdoor shoes?

Outdoor shoes differ from regular sneakers in that:

• they have a more durable sole that you can't just step on
• their soles have a more rugged pattern that better prevents slipping
• better toe protection, extending the life of the shoe and keeping toes safe
• they are structurally and functionally designed for extended movement in rough terrain
