Vivobarefoot Gobi Addis - Kids

Unisex barefoot boots for children, ideal for school and everyday use

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

Vivobarefoot Gobi Addis are unisex barefoot boots for children, designed for daily wear, school and free play, while respecting the natural development of the foot.

They do not impose corrections or rigid structures.

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

You will see them running around freely, without discomfort or rubbing, doing what truly matters: playing, enjoying and laughing.

Simple and elegant design to support them every day

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

Unisex children’s footwear that supports movement, without drawing attention or limiting mobility.

Respectful footwear for growing feet

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

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

They are ideal if you are looking for barefoot footwear for everyday use, but they are not designed for mountain terrain, intense sports or extreme cold conditions.

Flexible 5 mm sole with foot-shaped 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 city and school use.

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.

It does not include an insole, promoting a more natural stride and stronger foot development.

Children’s footwear created with a purpose

Vivobarefoot Gobi 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 Gobi Addis

To choose the correct size, we recommend measuring the child’s foot and using the “Check your size here” button located next to the size selector.

It is important to leave a small allowance for growth, ensuring 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).
