The Natural Choice for Barefoot Shoes
Plae Ty Denim Navy – Flexible, Durable & Customisable Kids Trainers
The Plae Ty Denim Navy is a classic kids’ trainer from US brand Plae, designed for sports activities, playtime, and everyday adventures. Made with both performance and comfort in mind, these trainers offer natural movement and all-day durability for active kids.
The flat, thin, and flexible sole features dynamic traction treads to provide excellent grip and stability, whether on the playground, sports field, or during outdoor play. Designed to athletic standards, the Ty also includes durable toe guards for protection and wicking, washable anti-microbial inserts to help keep feet fresh and odour-free.
For an enhanced barefoot experience, we recommend removing the insole, which has a small heel rise, allowing for better natural foot positioning and ground feel.
The Ty’s unique customisable Velcro tabs are perfect for adjusting the fit for narrow or wide feet, and also for changing the look of the shoe. Swap tabs for fun colours and patterns and let kids express their style!
The Plae Ty Denim Navy is also machine washable, making them easy to keep clean. For full care instructions, check out our blog post on How to care for your PLAE shoes.
Combining barefoot-friendly design, durability, and customisable style, the Plae Ty Denim Navy is the perfect kids’ trainer for sports, school, and everyday play.

One of the biggest challenges we face is standardising the sizing structure as sizing varies between brands. For example a UK4 for one brand may be significantly different to a UK4 in another.
To help you we have attempted to standardise this by measuring all our shoes in centimetres (Internal Shoe Measurement (cm)) and then converting into our UK size for familiarity purposes (HLS UK Size). Please note that this will usually vary a little from the manufacturers conversion (Plae UK Size), which is shown on the box, as this is unavoidable as we try to standardise across all brands.
We recommend purchasing shoes/trainers which measure around 0.8-1.0cm bigger than the length of the longest foot measurement. Please see the table below detailing the Internal Shoe Measurement (cm) alongside the Foot Length (cm) this size shoe will fit.
Always buy based on the centimetre measurements of the shoe and the foot rather than the EU size, UK size or manufacturer's size.
