The first steps are taken barefoot.

Barefoot shoes for the Nordic climate — free room for growing toes, zero drop and soles thin enough to feel the ground.

Babysteps shoes

The long journey starts now.

The foundation for the future is laid with every step.

Feet are born free. Shoes should agree.

Developed for the Nordic climate

Built to handle the North.

Rain, cold, gravel and boardwalks. Our shoes are made so children can be outside all year round — without shutting the foot in.

Why barefoot

Feet are built to feel.

A child's foot has 26 bones in development. It needs space, freedom and contact with the ground — not support it never asked for.

Wide toe box

Toes get to splay as they should. That gives balance, grip and a natural roll-off in every step — just like barefoot on grass.

Zero drop

Heels? No thanks. Heel and forefoot on the same plane. Posture stays natural and the calf works at its full length, from the very first step.

Thin, flexible sole

The foot feels the ground and the muscles train with every step. The sole bends where the foot wants to go — never the other way around.

New

SnowySteps handles winter.

Barefoot function, warmth and freedom of movement in one boot. For snow, slush and cold days — without shutting the foot in.

TabiSteps

Inspired by traditional Japanese tabi shoes — in leather, with a thin flexible sole and a roomy toe box.

Size guide

Measure at home in two minutes.

The right size is half the secret behind a good barefoot shoe. All you need is paper, a pen and two minutes — the guide shows you how.

  1. 1Let your child stand with the heel against a wall, on a piece of paper.
  2. 2Mark the paper at the tip of the longest toe.
  3. 3Measure from the edge of the paper to the mark — that is the foot length.
