The Vivobarefoot Gobi Sneaker School - Juniors are made for real school life: long hours, constant movement and feet that still need room to grow properly.
They have a clean look that is easy to combine, but what matters is underneath: thin sole, zero drop, flexibility and a shape that gives the toes more freedom.
The elastic lace closure helps them slip on quickly, something you appreciate every morning. And their barefoot construction allows walking, playing, climbing stairs and spending the day with a more natural feeling.
They are not rigid school shoes. They are a Vivobarefoot school sneaker for juniors who need comfort, independence and feet that feel less trapped all day long.
The Vivobarefoot Gobi Sneaker School - Juniors is a barefoot school sneaker designed for older children who spend many hours in the same footwear: class, playground, corridors, activities, the way back home and everything in between. It is not made for the foot to endure being trapped. It is made so it can move more naturally throughout the school day.
If you are looking for Vivobarefoot barefoot shoes for school, this model makes a lot of sense because it combines a clean, easy-to-wear look with the barefoot philosophy growing feet need: thin sole, flexibility, zero drop, toe space and a stride more connected to the ground.
The Gobi Sneaker School does not try to look like a technical sports shoe or a passing fashion sneaker. Its strength is being practical, comfortable and durable for daily use. A barefoot school sneaker for juniors who need to move, sit, run in the playground, climb stairs and spend many hours on their feet without footwear limiting them more than necessary.
At school, a sneaker has to do more than it seems. It has to accompany many hours, handle constant movement and adapt to very different moments: sitting in class, walking around the school, playing at break time or walking back home. The Vivobarefoot Gobi Sneaker School - Juniors responds exactly to that daily use.
Its sneaker design works very well with uniforms, school clothing and simple everyday outfits, but what matters is underneath: a barefoot construction that lets the foot work better. There is no thick sole that dulls the stride and no rigid structure forcing the foot to behave as if it had no function of its own.
In addition, the easy closure with elastic laces helps a lot in daily life. They are tied once and then allow faster fitting. For juniors who already want independence, and for families who do not want to lose time every morning, it is a small detail that ends up mattering a lot.
The Vivobarefoot Gobi Sneaker School - Juniors uses the Kids Urban Play sole, designed for children’s and juniors’ urban movement. It has a 2 mm base and a 2 mm tread, a combination that keeps the foot close to the ground and provides enough grip for daily use at school, in the playground and around the city.
This sole is designed to offer flexibility, toe protection and ground-contact feel. And that is key for feet that are still growing. The less rigid the footwear, the more possibilities the foot has to move, adapt and strengthen naturally.
We are not talking about a mountain shoe or a technical model for intense sport. We are talking about a barefoot school sneaker for everyday life: walking, playing, going up, going down, running a little, stopping, moving again. Exactly what children do when nobody tells them to keep still.
The Vivobarefoot Gobi Sneaker School - Juniors is for children and juniors who need a barefoot school shoe with a neat look, daily use and good freedom of movement. It is a good option if you are looking for more foot-respecting school footwear, with no thick platform, no drop and more room so the toes are not compressed.
It also fits very well if your child already wears barefoot footwear and you need a more understated model for class, but one that still allows a natural stride. Here you do not have a rigid uniform shoe. You have a school sneaker that keeps Vivobarefoot’s philosophy and adapts it to the daily rhythm of juniors.
It would not be the most suitable option if you are looking for a waterproof shoe, a trail model, a specific sports shoe for intense PE or a boot for heavy rain days. Its ground is different: school, urban use, school days, playground and daily movement with barefoot feel.
The upper of the Vivobarefoot Gobi Sneaker School - Juniors is made from chrome-free Buriram, with chrome-free Ayutthaya lining and an unlined quarter. It is a construction designed to offer a more refined feel than a conventional school shoe, while keeping a simple and easy-to-combine aesthetic.
The leather footbed provides a pleasant feeling underfoot, while the absence of a conventional insole brings the foot even closer to the ground. This reinforces the barefoot experience and helps stop footwear from becoming a barrier between the foot and movement.
Overall, the Vivobarefoot Gobi Sneaker School - Juniors is a barefoot school sneaker with a very clear idea: to accompany juniors’ everyday life without switching off their feet. For class. For the playground. For walking. For growing with more space, more flexibility and less stiffness.
To know your size, the best thing is to measure your foot and click on the “Check your size here” link that you will find below the size selector.
If you are between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger one for a more relaxed and natural fit. Your toes should have room to move and spread freely.
And if you do not get it right the first time, no problem: you can exchange the size easily. The process is quick and free if you activate the exchange insurance for €1.99 (valid for mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands).

Materials: as they are made with chrome-free materials and a leather footbed, it is best to remove mud or surface dirt with a soft brush and clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the footwear, using the washing machine or applying harsh products that may affect the material.
Care products: let the shoes dry at room temperature, away from radiators, intense heat sources and direct sunlight. To keep them in good condition for longer, you can visit our section of products for the care and maintenance of barefoot footwear.
