Kids' Slippers

Children spend a lot of time in slippers at school, kindergarten, home or cottage. Give your children healthy and comfortable shoes, e.g. barefoot slippers. Lightweight, foot-shaped, and soft shoes allow children to move naturally, whether walking or playing on their knees and squatting.

To make your purchase as easy as possible and to avoid unnecessary shipping, we have put together a comparison of popular slippers. You won't go wrong if you start by measuring your feet correctly. Take into account the proportions of your foot and the slippers to choose the best fit. 

Comparison of sole shapes

Every foot is shaped differently, and so are the soles of the different brands and their model lines. Find out which slippers follow the shape of your foot and fit you best. They differ in the amount of space in the toe box and on the side of the big toe or little toe, as well as in the degree of bevel.

We photographed slippers in size 25 on a foot measuring 155 x 66 mm with a slightly higher instep. For clarity, all shoes are size 25, although some feet may require a larger size (including extra toe space).

Beda classic (original) BF-060010-W

  • anatomically shaped toe, with plenty of room for a dominant big toe
  • less descending towards the little toe, suitable for feet with straight toes
  • higher in the instep and wider in the heel
  • the fastening is not so high in the instep, so they can not be tightened on a narrow ankle
  • the standard version is only slightly reinforced behind the heel, but the OP version has a reinforced heel counter
  • zero drop, sole approx. 2 mm + 2 mm tread pattern
  • also available perforated (marked PF)

Beda-classic-060010-W

Beda BFN-170020/W (new in 2023)

  • anatomically shaped toe, with plenty of room for a dominant big toe
  • descending towards the little toe, suitable for feet with a longer big toe and second toe
  • lower in the instep and narrower in the heel
  • the fastening is higher in the instep, so they can be tightened better on a narrower ankle
  • the standard version is only slightly reinforced behind the heel, but the OP version has a reinforced heel counter
  • zero drop, sole approx. 2 mm + 2 mm tread pattern

Beda-BFN slippers

Beda ballet flats BF-060010/BA

  • they are sewn on the same last as 060010/W, so they are identical in sole, only have a different cut in the instep
  • the strap is higher on the instep so it can be tightened more easily on a narrow ankle. However, children with a low instep and narrow ankles will have their shoes crunched up when tightened

  • when tightened to the lower instep, they tend to stick out/scrunch up
  • zero drop, sole approx. 2 mm + 2 mm tread pattern

Beda slim slippers

Pegres (models differ only in material, not in cut)

  • anatomically shaped toe box is slightly banana-shaped, with enough space for a dominant big toe or big toe pointing away from other toes

  • fastened with a wide strap, can be tightened well on narrower heels
