Vivobarefoot Addis - Kids

Unisex barefoot shoes for children for mid-season and everyday use

They are beautiful and elegant, yes. But above all, they are wild.

Vivobarefoot Addis are unisex barefoot shoes for children designed for daily wear, school and long hours of activity indoors and in urban outdoor environments, especially in mild and mid-season climates.

They are light, flexible and comfortable to wear all day long, without imposing corrections or rigid structures.

The wild part is not provided by the shoe. It is provided by them.

You will see them moving freely in the classroom, in the playground or at home, without discomfort or rubbing, doing what really matters: playing, enjoying and laughing.

Simple and elegant design to support them every day

Their clean and discreet design makes them easy to combine and suitable for both school environments and everyday use.

Unisex children’s shoes designed to be worn for many hours in a row, without drawing attention or limiting the natural movement of the foot.

Respectful footwear for growing feet

They are designed for boys and girls who need space, flexibility and freedom while their feet grow.

They are not cushioned shoes nor do they provide rigid support.

They are ideal as barefoot footwear for everyday use indoors and in urban environments, but they are not designed for mountain terrain, intense sports or cold conditions.

Flexible 5 mm sole with a unique design

The sole has a total thickness of 5 mm, offering a very balanced combination of protection and ground feel.

It is thin enough for the foot to receive ground feedback, while still providing the protection needed for daily use in the city and at school.

Its design is inspired by the Laetoli footprints found in Tanzania, the oldest known human footprints.

It is made from durable rubber and stitched to the leather, without the use of adhesives.

It does not mould to the foot, allowing the shoes to be safely reused between siblings.

Children’s footwear created with a purpose

Vivobarefoot Addis are manufactured in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.

The profits generated by this model are donated to the Soul of Africa Trust, supporting local projects focused on the future of disadvantaged children.

My size in the Vivobarefoot Addis

To choose the correct size, the best option is to measure the child’s foot and use the “Check your size here” button located next to the size selector.

It is important to leave a small allowance for growth, ensuring that the toes have enough space to move and spread freely.

And if you don’t get it right the first time, no problem: you can change the size easily.

The exchange is fast and free if you activate the €1.99 size change insurance (valid for mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands).
