Step 1: Slip Them On Like a Sock The stretchy, soft top makes them easy to slide onto even the wiggliest feet in seconds.

Step 2: Let Them Wiggle Their Toes The wide, anatomical toe box gives them room to spread their toes and grip the ground, improving balance.

YOUR ULTIMATE SOLUTION FOR HEALTHY FIRST STEPS!

Are you worried that your baby's first shoes are too stiff, narrow, and heavy? You're right to be. Traditional shoes can restrict growth and prevent them from learning to balance properly.

Introducing the BareStep™ Barefoot Shoes. They are designed to feel like no shoe at all. They support the natural development of your child's feet by allowing them to bend, flex, and splay their toes as nature intended. It's the perfect way to give them the freedom of being barefoot, with the protection they need to explore the world.

DESIGNED FOR FREEDOM, NOT CONSTRICTION

Unlike shoes with hard edges and narrow toes, our BareStep™ shoes are a "comfort-first" design. The breathable cotton upper feels like a soft sock, and the flexible sole moves with every step without resistance.

The clever, non-slip sole is ultra-thin, allowing your child to gain confidence and stability by feeling the ground beneath them. And because they're so easy to slip on and off, you'll be free from the daily "shoe battle" for good.

WHAT OUR HAPPY CUSTOMERS SAY

Jessica R. (Mom of 2) "My 14-month-old hated every shoe we tried. He'd walk like a robot and then rip them off. He actually LOVES these. He runs around in them all day. They are so soft and flexible."

Mark T. (Dad) "Our paediatrician recommended barefoot-style shoes. These are perfect. The wide toe box is fantastic, and his balance has definitely improved since he started wearing them. 10/10."

Sarah L. (Parent) "The best first-walker shoes, period. They slip on easily, the non-slip sole is great for our wood floors, and I love that they're machine washable. Just bought the next size up!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are "barefoot" shoes better for my baby? Barefoot shoes have a wide toe box and flexible sole, which allows your child's toes to spread out (toe splay). This helps them develop balance, strengthens their foot muscles, and promotes natural, healthy foot growth.

Are they good for outdoor use? Yes! While they feel like a sock on top, the flexible rubber sole is durable and non-slip. It's perfect for protecting their feet from hot pavement, small rocks, or twigs in the garden.

Are they hard to put on a wiggly baby? They're the easiest shoes you'll ever own. The top is made of a soft, stretchy cotton material, so they slide on just like a sock. No laces, no Velcro, no fuss.

Do they fall off easily? No, they are designed to stay on. The stretchy "sock top" fits snugly (but comfortably) around your child's ankle, so they can run and play without their shoes flying off.
