The Truth About Kids’ Shoes No One Talks About (Until Now)

You’d never let your child eat junk every day—
But what if their shoes were doing the same kind of harm?
Most kids’ shoes look cute but silently interfere with how their feet grow, how their bodies move, and even how their brains develop.
The result? Weaker muscles, poor posture, clumsy balance—and a lifetime of problems that start now.
That’s why more parents are ditching traditional shoes for barefoot alternatives that protect natural growth, strength, and coordination—without getting in the way.
The #1 Shoe Experts Trust to Support Strong, Healthy Feet
Studies show kids who grow up barefoot are nearly 8x less likely to suffer lower limb injuries. Why? Because traditional shoes restrict movement, weaken muscles, and disrupt posture.
That’s why more foot care professionals are turning to barefoot shoes—they protect natural development and help kids move the way nature intended.
“Barefoot shoes are the best support for natural foot development during childhood.”
— Dr. Emily Sanders, Pediatric Podiatrist*

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes these better than regular kids’ shoes?
What makes these better than regular kids’ shoes?
Most kids’ shoes are stiff, narrow, and don’t allow feet to move how they’re meant to. Kiddo Soles are different — they’re made to work with your child’s natural development, not against it. That means better posture, stronger feet, and more freedom to move, play, and grow.
Are barefoot shoes supportive enough for growing feet?
Are barefoot shoes supportive enough for growing feet?
Yes — just in a different way than traditional shoes. Instead of relying on artificial support like arch padding, barefoot shoes encourage the foot to move freely and do what it’s naturally designed to do. This helps build strength, balance, and coordination — the kind of real, long-term support growing feet need.
Are these shoes suitable for children with flat feet / wide feet / sensory issues?
Are these shoes suitable for children with flat feet / wide feet / sensory issues?
Yes — Kiddo Soles are designed with these exact needs in mind. The wide toe box gives feet room to spread naturally, which is ideal for both wide and flat feet. The flexible, lightweight design also means less restriction and pressure, which many parents of sensory-sensitive children find makes a big difference. No tight spots, no stiff materials — just soft, natural movement.
Will my child need time to adjust to barefoot shoes?
Will my child need time to adjust to barefoot shoes?
Possibly — especially if they’ve been wearing stiff or structured shoes. But most kids adjust quickly. Their feet and bodies are naturally built for this kind of movement, so it often just feels “right.” A short transition is completely normal — and once they feel the difference, they rarely want to go back.
What age are these shoes suitable for?
What age are these shoes suitable for?
Our current range starts at UK size 7 (EU 25), which typically fits children around age 2 and up. They’re ideal for toddlers through to early school years — whether your child is just finding their balance or already tearing around the playground.

Are they machine washable or easy to clean?
