Description

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.

Love these kids shoes - one improvement request

These has been amazing for my kids. Great quality, comfortable, easy for them to put on themselves, nice looking, perfect barefoot shoe, decent price point. My only complaint is that for my two youngest (3 and 2) who still have chubby toddler feet, the Velcro straps are barely long enough to get the shoe to close. I would suggest Feelgrounds have longer straps to accommodate higher volume feet, especially in the smaller sizes where toddler feet are just built differently than the feet of older children.

Dear Shaylynn,

Thank you for your positive review and for sharing your experience with our Feelgrounds kids shoes. We're thrilled to hear that your kids love them and that they've been comfortable and easy to use.

We appreciate your suggestion regarding longer Velcro straps to accommodate higher volume feet, especially in the smaller sizes. We understand how important it is to have shoes that fit well, and we'll make sure to forward your feedback to our product development team for consideration in future designs.

Thank you for your support and for choosing Feelgrounds. We hope to continue providing your family with quality shoes that meet your needs.

Best regards,
Sabine

Beautiful but strange shoe sole

Own quite a few barefoot shoes, different companies. The color design and hook and eye closures are A++. Odd sole, always stays cold. Tried insulating them and socks, but not comfortable in low 50s F, a lot like Vans sole in hardness.

Amazing for sensory issues

My son has a lot of sensory issues with shoes. He loves these shoes because they were immediately comfortable and light in weight. I give four instead of 5 stars only because he has to do these up as tight as they will go as he does not have wide or high feet. The straps hang a long way off the side of the shoe.
