Rain boots – barefoot shoes for kids

Shoes for rainy and muddy weather

We have been selecting the best wellies for the natural development of children's feet for 10 years. On the Footic website, you will find wellies for boys and girls of all ages. Our children also wear barefoot rain boots so that even in bad weather, they can go out in shoes that give their feet plenty of room. Read our recommendations for suitable shoes for rainy and muddy weather.

E-shop Footic allows you to easily filter wellies 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 which boots are best for your child, check out our latest comparison review.

You can also search for children's rain boots by the manufacturer. The most popular brands of barefoot wellies for kids include Viking, Demar, Bundgaard, Bisgaard, Crocs and Koel. We stock all children's rain boots and guarantee fast delivery with a return policy of up to three weeks.

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.

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