School Shoes

Your child will likely wear their school shoes for longer than any other item of footwear, often upwards of 35 hours a week. Opting for a barefoot school shoe ensures that you don't restrict and compromise growing feet, which are vulnerable to external influences and moulding by tight, ill-fitting shoes.

Our collection of barefoot kids' school shoes has something for every taste, foot type and shape. For narrower feet have a look at the range from Bobux which includes smarter and sporty options along with Mary Jane and T-Bar styles in leather and Patent.

For medium widths, our go-to brands are Plae, PaperKrane, Petasil and Young Soles. Between which there is a great choice of styles for every taste.

For medium to wide feet check out Vivobarefoot and Camper. Camper have recently brought out their popular Peu shoe in Black for school and the Right ballet shoe has long been a best seller for those wanting a more mainstream ballet shoe style.

For wider feet Froddo Barefoot is our most popular brand of school shoes and suits a wider foot really nicely.

For extra-wide school shoes the Freet City shoe has long been a favourite and has the advantage of being a rare vegan option. More recently we have added the Be Lenka Bounce to the range which is a lovely wide fitting barefoot shoe.
