Veiro kids' barefoot shoes are designed with a wide, foot-shaped toe box, so if your child is between sizes we recommend sizing up. Use the chart below to find their fit by UK size or foot length.

5	21	7	13.3
6	23	8	14.2
7	24	9	15.0
8	25	10	15.8
9	27	11	16.7
10	28	12	17.5
11	29	13	18.3
12	30	14	19.2

13.5	32	15.5	20.4
1	33	3	20.8
2	34	4	21.6
3	35	5	22.5

How to measure: stand your child on a piece of paper against a wall, mark their longest toe, and measure the distance in cm. Measure both feet in the evening (feet swell slightly through the day) and use the larger measurement.

Junior fills the gap between our first-walker and Kids Explorer styles — built for children who are confidently on their feet but still need a fastening system they can manage themselves.

A double hook-and-loop strap means kids can get these on and off independently, while parents can fine-tune the fit as feet grow between sizes. The wide toe box and flexible sole carry through the same foot-development principles as the rest of the kids' range.

Durable enough for daily nursery or school wear, simple enough that getting dressed in the morning doesn't turn into a battle over laces.

Kids' feet are still developing, so Junior Barefoot Shoes is built with a wide, foot-shaped toe box that lets little toes spread and grip naturally rather than being squeezed into a narrow shape.

Use our kids' size chart above (by UK size or foot length) — if your child is between sizes, we recommend sizing up slightly to allow room to grow. Like adults, children adjusting to barefoot shoes for the first time may notice their feet working a little harder in the first week or two as foot muscles strengthen; this is a normal, healthy part of natural foot development and settles quickly with regular wear.

For first-time barefoot wearers, let your child start with shorter wear times and build up gradually, especially on hard surfaces.

Upper: Smooth synthetic leather
Lining: Soft textile
Insole: Comfortable cushioned insole
Outsole: Lightweight, flexible rubber
Closure: Adjustable hook-and-loop straps

Orders are processed within 1-2 business days and typically arrive within 5-8 business days.

What size should I order for my child?
Use the kids' size chart above (tap "Size Chart" near the size options) to match UK size or foot length. If your child is between sizes, size up slightly to allow growing room.

Are barefoot shoes safe for developing feet?
Yes — the wide toe box and zero-drop sole are designed to support natural foot development, letting toes spread and small muscles strengthen, rather than restricting the foot the way narrow, cushioned shoes can.

Will my child need time to adjust?
Some children notice their feet working a little harder in the first week or two as they get used to a flatter, more flexible sole. This is normal and settles quickly — we'd recommend easing in with shorter wear times at first.

How durable are they for everyday play?
See the Materials tab above for the exact construction used in this shoe.

Are they easy for my child to put on independently?
This style uses adjustable hook-and-loop straps, designed for children to manage on their own.

What if they don't fit or work out?
We offer 30-day returns — see the Shipping tab above or our returns policy for full details.
