Barefoot shoe Concept
At Affenzahn, we design all our children's shoes according to the barefoot shoe principle. With our barefoot shoes, we want to lay the foundation for the healthy development of children's feet. Find out what that means here.
Thin flexible sole
When children explore the world barefoot, it's not only fun for them, but it’s also the best thing for the development of their feet. The feeling of being barefoot is recreated with barefoot shoes. Our shoes have a very thin sole and zero heel, so there’s no drop between the heel and the ball of the foot. Wearing barefoot shoes allows children to really sense the ground beneath them and constantly receive new sensory stimuli – supporting their development.
Freedom of movement for your toes
The Affenzahn barefoot shoes have a wide toe area so that each toe has room to move and grow in a healthy way. When toes have enough wiggle room, they automatically move more. This allows the foot muscles to remain in motion due to the increased space. This creates warmth and keeps your feet nice and warm. Since children are almost always on the move and rarely stand in one spot, they have even fewer problems with barefoot shoes in winter than adults.
