Barefoot Shoes For Kids

When it comes to kids, there are a lot of reservations parents have when it comes to barefoot shoes, especially with regards to their safety in the kind of world we live in.

Parents want the absolute best for their kids. When it comes to shoes, something that is worn every day in school, for playing on a regular basis, it is super important to make sure  that the shoes worn by your kids are not impeding their growth and development.

Barefoot shoes fit the bill.

Currently, the kind of shoes available in the market for kids are not particularly healthy for them.

When kids’ feet are cramped inside tight shoes, shoes which are narrow, their entire posture changes, and not in a good way. Their knees and lower back have to put in extra work, just to maintain posture. Flat foot and heel pain become a norm. 

Although we may think that the thick cushion in these shoes help kids feel comfortable, it robs them of their sense of balance and sensory feedback from the ground that is super important, especially in growing children to make sense of the world and develop super motor skills. 

At Zen Barefoot, we are working on new designs specially aimed for kids. Barefoot shoes are simply pieces of clothing that allow your kids to use your feet naturally, grow in comfortable shoes that do not hinder muscle development and allow them to become stronger.
