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.

The festive season is here, bringing with it magical moments filled with family traditions, seasonal joy, and plenty of outdoor adventures. One of the best ways to embrace the holidays is by heading out for a Christmas Day walk—whether you're exploring frosty fields, strolling through town, or taking in the stunning views of the winter landscape. To ensure your feet are ready for any adventure, complete your Christmas look with a cosy pair of barefoot shoes or boots from Happy Little Soles. And when the walk is over, slip into your Christmas pyjamas and enjoy the warmth of our slipper socks and slippers for the perfect holiday season evening.
