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.

Summary
In the table, you will find the main parameters of the barefoot slippers compared. Then in the text below, the shoes are described in more detail and photographed on the foot.
