Wellington Boots are one of life's essentials! The search for a barefoot or barefoot friendly pair of adult wellington boots is one of our ongoing challenges at Happy Little Soles. We have been delighted with the Gracie ankle wellies from Xero but for many people, myself included, a pair of taller wellingtons is preferred and essential for muddy walks and winter beach trips alike!

Following the success of their Vegan Go and Empire Boots, Peerko recently brought out a great range of vegan shoes, and have expanded their range of vegan boots. We think they're a fantastic option for those of us that want to make a choice to wear an alternative to leather. Whether it be for reasons related to a vegan diet or just for practicality, we wanted to find out more about these amazing new vegan leathers and to understand the differences and benefits of each option, so we had a chat with Iva, from Peerko. We thought it worth sharing what we found.

At Happy Little Soles, we pride ourselves on our excellent customer service and free returns, giving customers the chance to find the best barefoot shoes for them. We spend a lot of time talking to everyone but as an online business we don't always get to meet our customers in person. We decided it was time to change this and host a barefoot try on event!

We have invited long term customer and passionate barefoot advocate Anna Fox to review some trainers for us. We are delighted to copy her review here in this blog post.

"For this comparison review I thought it would be interesting to have shoes quite distinct from each other. Although the Realfoot are more of a shoe than a trainer, I wanted to try shoes/trainers that were also suitable for off road and practical for my lifestyle. I decided to have a look at the Be Lenka Barebarics, Realfoot and Xeo and see how they faired up against each other."

One of the most common questions we get asked about our school shoes is how the widths of the different brands compare so let's have a look.....

Practitioner, consultant, speaker and author Bernie Landels gives us a wonderful insight into why she chose a barefoot lifestyle. Discussing foot health, the importance of minimal footwear and how she incorporates going barefoot into her everyday life and work as a health professional.
