FAQs
What does the 'barefoot' concept mean for my child's feet?
The 'barefoot' concept means the design aims to allow your child's feet to develop naturally. It encourages the foot and ankle to respond to different walking surfaces and make appropriate adaptations, promoting stronger muscles and arches.
How do I ensure I'm buying the correct size?
It's recommended to measure your child's foot from heel to the tip of the longest toe. Compare this measurement to the brand's sizing chart, keeping in mind that the 'barefoot' design allows for natural foot splay.
Can these sandals be worn in water?
While generally water-friendly due to their material and open design, prolonged submersion or very salty water might affect the materials. Rinse with fresh water after exposure and allow to dry thoroughly.
What is the recommended age group for these sandals?
These sandals are designed for kids and infants, suitable for early walkers through to older children, focusing on natural foot development.
Are these suitable for children with wide feet?
The design is based on natural foot shapes, often accommodating a wider toe box. However, actual width can vary by individual foot shape, so measuring is key.
How durable are these sandals for playground use?
They are designed for active children and general play. For very rough or abrasive surfaces, the open-toe design might be less protective than closed-toe shoes.
Troubleshooting
Sandals appear too narrow or too wide
Ensure the correct UK size is being used and measure the child's foot for accuracy. The 'barefoot' design prioritizes natural foot shape, so a snug heel with a wide toe box is intended.
Difficulty getting the sandal on a child's foot
Ensure the straps are fully loosened. Encourage the child to help by pushing their foot forward into the sandal.
Material appears discolored after cleaning
Ensure only mild soap and water were used and that the sandals were not exposed to harsh chemicals. Always air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
