Description

Please note that for some Galaxy pairs from the initial production run, the toe application may not be fastened as securely as our quality standards demand, potentially leading to separation from the upper. This concern has been rectified in newer production runs, available for purchase here. The remaining pairs from the first run are offered at a discounted price.

The Original Mesh Kids are the perfect barefoot shoes for active children. The child-friendly interpretation of a classic sneaker provides maximum barefoot feeling and allows little feet to move naturally. Our kids barefoot shoes come with a foot-shaped toe box, are comfortably padded around the heel, and feature a flexible, zero-drop sole and lightweight design. The easy-to-use straps with hook-and-loop fasteners and the finger loop at the back make putting on these minimalist shoes a breeze. They’re made from breathable, recycled mesh and other vegan, child-safe, non-toxic materials. The new rubber sole with its extra outsole stitching, and the protective applications in the toe and heel area provide improved durability. We cover a wide range of sizes, from toddler barefoot shoes to barefoot shoes for older kids. The Original Mesh Kids are unisex.

This model is also available as an adult version with laces. Discover our Original Mesh in sizes EU 35 to EU 49 / US W5 to US M15 / UK W3 to M14.

Care Instructions

To clean your Original Mesh Kids remove loose dirt with a dry, soft shoe brush. If necessary, go in with a clean, soft brush to apply some lukewarm water and a mild cleaning solution. Wipe any excess product with a moist cloth. Air dry at room temperature after cleaning or when the shoes get wet.

To remove more stubborn stains, you can also put your shoes in the washing machine. It’s important to only wash them with cold water on a short, gentle program. Please use a mild detergent and a mesh laundry bag. After washing, soak up excess moisture with a cloth if necessary. Let the shoes air dry. Please be aware that machine washing can put a strain on colors and materials. So only wash your shoes as often as absolutely necessary.

Note: We don’t recommend using the shoes for activities that cause high friction on the shoe (e.g. riding a balance bike or toy car) without additional protection to prevent damaging the shoes.

Great shoes for school and going out..

Beautiful shoes but not for us

I ordered these for my eleven year old son. He fell in love instantly but after wearing them for a few days realised that they were too big (despite being the right size according to the chart and the smaller size being too small) and his feet were moving around too much inside the shoe, causing chafing and blisters. We're keeping them in case he grows into them. Quite disappointing as we really wanted to love them

Dear Daniela,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear that the shoes weren't the right fit for your son, especially considering that he loves them that much.

From what you're describing, the fit issue may not necessarily be attributed to the length. Instead, it's very likely connected to the width in the toe box and/or heel area, or even the overall volume of the shoes. If this is the case, your son might not get the necessary security and is therefore sliding within the shoes, potentially causing discomfort and
chafing.

To address this, it might help to add an additional insole to improve the fit. While we don't offer specific insoles for our kids shoes yet, the insole shape of our adult shoes is similar enough that you could use an insole from our adult section (sizes EU 35 to 49). We would suggest our 3 mm EVA Cork or our Felt insoles, which you can find here:
feelgrounds.com/accessories

We highly appreciate your feedback and loyalty. Customer satisfaction is essential to us, and we're here to assist you further. If you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out at feelgrounds.com/contact.

Thank you for choosing Feelgrounds, and we hope the insole tip helps, so your son can enjoy his well-loved shoes more in the future.

Best regards,
Nina
