Igor Pau - Kids

Barefoot wellies for kids with an anatomical shape and wide toe box

The Igor Pau are barefoot wellies for kids with an anatomical shape, wide toe box and flat 6 mm sole, designed to protect children’s feet on rainy days without the narrow, rigid and raised construction found in many conventional children’s boots.

Their design better respects the natural shape of a child’s foot. The front provides enough room for the toes to sit, move and spread more freely, avoiding the pointed shape commonly found in many children’s wellies.

They are an especially interesting choice for families looking for foot-friendly children’s wellies for school, the park or everyday outdoor activities. The PVC upper and sole protect against water, mud and splashes, while the polyester lining provides a more comfortable finish against the foot.

Children’s wellies for school, the park and muddy days

Some days, trying to avoid every puddle is a losing battle.

And that is perfectly fine.

The Igor Pau are ready for children to walk in the rain, play in the park, explore wet paths or arrive at school without every splash becoming a family emergency.

The shaft helps protect the foot and lower leg from water, mud and damp. Their pull-on design, without laces, buckles or complicated fastenings, also makes it easier for children to put them on and take them off independently.

This is especially practical on school mornings, when coming in and out of the house or after an afternoon spent playing outside. Cleaning mud from the floor is already enough work without having to wrestle with wet laces too.

Their simple, single-colour design is easy to combine with waterproof trousers, raincoats, school clothes or casual outfits.

Flat 6 mm sole for a more natural stride

The Igor Pau feature a flat 6 mm PVC sole with no height difference between the heel and forefoot. This keeps the foot in a more natural position, without the artificial heel elevation found in many conventional wellies.

Flexibility around the metatarsal area allows the boot to follow the movement of the foot more naturally with every step. Rather than walking while dragging a rigid shell, the footwear can bend in the same area where the foot flexes.

They also have no rigid heel counter unnecessarily restricting the heel area. The combination of a flat sole, flexibility, wide toe box and anatomical shape makes the Igor Pau suitable barefoot wellies for kids on rainy days and wet ground.

They are still rain boots, however. They are particularly suitable for wet outdoor areas, puddles, mud and rainy days, rather than permanently replacing everyday trainers indoors.

Who are the Igor Pau barefoot wellies for?

The Igor Pau are intended for boys and girls who need children’s wellies with a wide toe box, flat sole and anatomical shape. They are a good choice for families who want to protect their children’s feet from the rain without giving up the essential principles of barefoot footwear.

The front follows the natural shape of the foot more closely and prevents the toes from being compressed inside a narrow toe box. This gives children greater freedom when walking, playing or standing.

They are also suitable for children who need rain boots that are easy to put on, simple to clean and ready for those days when the grass is wet and the puddles appear to have been placed directly in the middle of the path.

For particularly wide or high-volume feet, carefully check the internal measurements before selecting a size. For feet of a regular width, the anatomical shape offers a good balance of toe space, fit and freedom of movement.

My size in Igor Pau - Kids

To choose your child’s size, measure their foot and click on the ‘Check your size here’ link beneath the size selector.

Compare the foot measurement with the size chart for this model, leaving the recommended room so the toes can move and spread freely.

When choosing between two sizes, we recommend selecting the larger one to give your child a more relaxed and natural fit. A little extra room is preferable to having their toes too close to the front.

And if the size is not right the first time, do not worry: you can easily exchange it.

Care and maintenance of Igor Pau - Kids

Materials: PVC upper and outsole, polyester lining and textile insole. After wearing the boots, remove external mud and dirt using water and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid unnecessarily soaking the lining, using abrasive products, putting the boots in a washing machine or placing them next to radiators and other direct heat sources.

Allow them to air-dry in a well-ventilated place. If the lining becomes damp, place absorbent paper inside and replace it until the boots are completely dry. Do not store them while moisture remains inside.
