Yes, barefoot shoes are an excellent choice for children because they support the natural development of the feet. With their thin, flexible soles, these shoes allow the feet to move freely, promoting the healthy development of muscles, tendons, and bones. Wearing barefoot shoes from a young age can help form healthy movement habits and support natural posture.
Children usually adapt quickly to barefoot shoes because their feet are naturally flexible and ready for free movement. However, it’s advisable to gradually increase the time they wear this type of footwear, especially if the child previously wore traditional shoes. This allows the muscles and tendons in the feet to adapt, reducing the risk of discomfort or strain.
Children can wear barefoot shoes from the moment they start taking their first steps. Introducing this type of footwear early supports the natural development of the feet while providing protection during the learning-to-walk stage. For the youngest children, special models with even softer soles that closely mimic barefoot walking are available.
Barefoot shoes offer many benefits for children. Firstly, they allow the feet to move freely, supporting the development of muscles and tendons. They also improve balance and coordination, as the child can better feel the ground under their feet. This helps the child learn proper walking posture. Additionally, barefoot shoes reduce the risk of foot deformities, such as flat feet, by supporting the natural arch of the foot.
Barefoot shoes can support the correction of certain foot problems, such as flat feet or knock knees. By promoting natural movement and strengthening muscles, these shoes can help maintain healthy foot arches and correct minor deformities. In the case of more severe foot issues, it is always advisable to consult an orthopedist or podiatrist to determine whether barefoot shoes are appropriate for the child.
Yes, Magical Shoes children’s barefoot shoes are available in various versions suitable for all seasons. For winter, you can choose models with insulation that provide warmth and protection from moisture while maintaining the flexibility and lightness characteristic of barefoot shoes. In summer, breathable and lightweight models ensure comfort and protect the feet from overheating, allowing for free airflow.
To choose the correct size of barefoot shoes, measure your child’s foot length and compare it with the size chart available on the specific product page. Our shoes may differ in length depending on the model, so please carefully review the size chart! It is recommended to leave about 0.5–1 cm of extra space in barefoot shoes so that the foot can move freely and has room to grow. A properly chosen size ensures comfort and supports the natural development of the foot.
The leather used in our children's shoes features a vegetable-tanned leather insole and an upper made of chemically tanned leather. However, the leather is tanned in Poland and contains a very low amount of chrome. Some models may be entirely made of vegetable-tanned leather, which will be clearly stated on the product page.
