Awesome features for children’s feet

Extra-wide toe box

Small toes, great freedom: with their naturally shaped design and extra-wide toe box, these shoes offer plenty of room for movement and growth.

Light as a feather

With Affenzahn’s lightweight barefoot shoes, children can explore the world as carefree as if they were walking barefoot.

Thin & flexible sole

The sole of these barefoot shoes ensures a rich sensory experience and plenty of natural freedom of movement. The non-slip tread provides a firm grip.

A breeze to put on

A wide opening, an ‘anti-duck-foot’ marker, quick-lace or Velcro fastenings: Affenzahn shoes can be put on and taken off in a flash.

Waterproof & breathable

The waterproof, breathable AffenTex membrane keeps feet dry whilst jumping in puddles, whilst reflective elements ensure visibility.

Cute animal colourful designs

Fox red, frog green and canary yellow: Affenzahn children’s shoes delight children with their colourful, playful designs, cheerful animal motifs and clever details. Just slip them on and you’re off for a brilliant day!

The right pair of barefoot shoes

Whether it’s summer or winter, for toddlers or schoolchildren, for adventures in the great outdoors or right on your doorstep: thanks to our wide selection, you’ll always find the right shoes at Affenzahn.

For every season

  • Spring and summer: As temperatures rise, so does the desire for new discoveries. Lightweight kids summer low cut shoes, sneakers and sandals are popular choices on warm days.
  • Autumn and winter: Whether it’s jumping in puddles or having a snowball fight – barefoot winter boots, kids rainboots and mid season shoes keep children’s feet dry and warm in autumn and winter.
  • All year round: Slippers are always in season. Opt for knitted or terry-cloth-style slippers during the colder months and light, airy organic cotton slippers when it’s warmer.

For all ages

  • Crawling babies can’t walk yet. But crawling shoes provide them with protection and grip – particularly on cold and slippery floors – whilst still allowing them freedom of movement.
  • Toddlers taking their first steps find it a breeze to do so at breakneck speed: whilst the colourful design encourages a love of walking, the barefoot shoe concept promotes healthy foot development in young children. The flexible, non-slip sole ensures a natural rolling motion of the foot and a secure grip.
  • Nursery children love how easy it is to put on these barefoot shoes: a quick glance at the animal puzzle ‘right-left’ markings, a quick fastening of the Velcro, and off they go on an adventure!
  • Schoolchildren love the natural barefoot feel, a super-cool animal-themed design, and comfortable fit and the range of barefoot shoe sizes up to 35.

For every adventure

They’re sturdy and durable, flexible and versatile, weatherproof and tried and tested in mud and puddles. Whatever you’ve got planned, Affenzahn barefoot shoes are the ideal companions for:

  • School, nursery and kindergarten
  • Woods, meadows and discovering little wonders
  • Playgrounds, parks and everyday family life
  • Wet and wild days out and about, or cosy days indoors
  • Adventures out in nature or right on your doorstep

The Affenzahn barefoot shoe concept: This is how healthy development works!

What is the Affenzahn barefoot concept?

Round pebbles, springy forest floor, soft sand: Affenzahn’s thin and flexible barefoot sole lets your child feel the ground beneath their feet particularly well. Step by step, they gather new sensory impressions and give free rein to their joy of movement. The barefoot sole is deliberately designed to be flat, with no raised heel. This helps to challenge and develop your child’s muscles and motor skills.

Affenzahn barefoot shoes are exceptionally light, allowing your child to explore the world with ease. Modelled on the natural shape of the foot, they offer plenty of room for movement and growth – particularly in the toe area. Children’s feet can roll naturally and develop freely. With the Affenzahn barefoot shoe principle, you support your child’s development and let them experience the world barefoot.
