Sizing Advice

A pre-walker is designed for little feet before they start confidently walking and we only recommend these in circumstances where they are really needed. Read on to see our favourite pre-walker recommendations and when to use them.

A true barefoot snow boot is a challenge and we have done a lot of research into the options and have tried to put together a range of boots that are soft, lightweight and as flexible as possible. In this blog post we look at the issues around snow boots, how the temperature ratings are measured and how to choose the best option for you.

Vivobarefoot are one of our most popular barefoot brands but many of our customers have told us that they feel that Vivobarefoot shoes have got narrower in the width over the last few years. We decided to contact Vivobarefoot to find out whether this was true or not.

As we wrap up 2024 at Happy Little Soles, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the incredible new barefoot brands we introduced this year and to look forward to the exciting additions coming in 2025.

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

"First impressions

These boots although not an unusual looking style are quite a new direction for Xero. On first impressions they look like a cross between a conventional

Doc Marten boot and Vivo Gobi. These look much more hard-wearing than the Gobi, without compromising ground feel. They also look nicer than the Be Lenka equivalent. Perfect for teenage girls who want a boot that looks cool and more conventional."

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!
