We are so excited to welcome the Barefoot Alpha range from Bobux to Happy Little Soles! While Bobux is a well-loved name in children’s footwear, this new collection marks their incredible return to the barefoot world — and they’ve done it beautifully. The Barefoot Alpha range blends Bobux’s signature style and quality craftsmanship with exceptional barefoot functionality.

Over a decade ago in Melbourne, Australia, PaperKrane was born from a deep love of shoes and an unwavering commitment to creating better footwear for little feet. At the heart of this venture was Kate, a Kiwi with a background in design and advertising, who took to the sewing machine to craft soft, high-top footwear that wasn’t just stylish but also supported healthy foot development.

Neurodiversity Coach and Trainer Jonny Dury talks about barefoot footwear, wellbeing, neurodiversity and nature.

"Central to my own self-care and professional practice are principles drawn from ancient health philosophies, such as the idea of “walking in peace with the earth.” This connection to nature is not just a metaphor but a daily practice that grounds me, revitalises my nervous system, and enhances my ability to help others. My Vivobarefoot Forest Tracker boots have become an essential part of that practice."
