Why choose our barefoot shoes for your children?
Strengthen the foot muscles
Flat, flexible sole
To promote natural running style, the soles of our children's shoes are completely flat and extremely flexible. This supports a natural gait and healthy posture and encourages children to move around.
Promote coordination skills
Thin, sensitive sole
The barefoot soles of our children's shoes are so thin that children can feel the ground beneath their feet in detail and explore the world mindfully. In addition, the countless nerve cells in the feet are activated and the body's neural development is promoted.
Support natural foot growth
Plenty of toe room
The wide, ergonomic toe box gives toes and feet enough space to grow unhindered and perform their natural function. This can prevent future foot problems and allow feet to grow into strong, healthy means of locomotion.
Enable maximum comfort
Lightweight and comfortable
The selection of lightweight, high-quality materials makes Groundies particularly comfortable. The soft material gently hugs children's delicate feet, preventing pressure points and blisters and ensuring that nothing stands in the way of long, carefree days of play.
The most frequently asked questions about children's shoes
What is the advantage of Groundies barefoot shoes?
The most natural, beautiful, and healthy way to move around is barefoot. Children who experience the world barefoot have strong, healthy feet and natural posture. Walking barefoot on sand, pebbles, and grass is not only fun and promotes balance and coordination, but also activates the foot and leg muscles in a natural way. This also helps develop basic sensory and motor skills and has a positive effect on brain development. Not every environment where children play is barefoot-friendly. That's why Groundies offers barefoot shoes for many occasions that authentically mimic the benefits of walking barefoot.
How can my child tell the difference between the right and left shoe?
It's child's play: all models have cute motifs on the soles. There is a bear on the right sole and a rabbit on the left. There are also markings on the inside of the soles to make it easier to tell them apart.
Do Groundies fit narrow and wide children's feet?
Children's feet are as individual as children themselves. They differ in length, width, and shape of the instep. For this reason, our shoes are made from lightweight, supple materials that adapt to the contours of the feet. In addition, our children's shoes feature various fastening systems that provide additional support and an optimal fit.
Why choose Groundies children's shoes?
Groundies children's shoes strengthen the foot muscles, promote coordination skills, support natural foot growth, and provide maximum comfort. Groundies also stand out in terms of design. In short: Groundies Kids are flexible & healthy.
What is a barefoot shoe?
Groundies barefoot shoes are designed to mimic walking barefoot. Why is this necessary? Because walking barefoot is the most natural way to move and allows children and their feet to develop freely and unhindered.
How do I care for Groundies?
Heavily soiled shoes are best cleaned when dry, using a soft shoe brush to remove the worst of the dirt. Stubborn dirt is best removed with warm water and a damp cloth. The shoes should then be left to dry with the soles facing upwards. Occasionally, the shoes can also be treated with a mild cleaning agent such as our Groundies cleaner. We do not recommend washing them in the washing machine, as this can affect the lifespan of the shoes.
