Mustang Free Bronx - Kids

Kids’ retro barefoot shoes with a strap and elastic laces

The Mustang Free Bronx are kids’ barefoot shoes with a wide toe box, a flat 5 mm sole and a combination of a hook-and-loop strap and elastic laces, designed for school, walks and everyday movement without trapping their feet inside narrow footwear.

Their design brings back the look of retro trainers.

Low profile.

Layered panels.

Contrasting sole.

And small details that give them a sporty appearance while remaining easy to combine with everyday clothing.

From the outside, they look like classic urban trainers.

Inside, they provide a shape that better respects the anatomy of children’s feet.

Because children do not spend the day sitting still and looking at their shoes.

They run.

They jump.

They crouch down.

They stop suddenly.

And turn any five-minute walk into an improvised obstacle course.

The Mustang Free Bronx are designed to keep up with that rhythm without forcing their toes to remain squeezed together for hours.

A wide toe box that respects the natural shape of their feet

Children’s feet are wider around the toes than many conventional trainers.

However, much of conventional footwear begins to narrow precisely where the foot needs to spread.

The Mustang Free Bronx feature a barefoot shape with a wide toe box, giving the toes more room to sit and move freely.

Without remaining crowded together.

Without forcing the big toe inwards.

And without making the smaller toes spend the day searching for space that is not there.

That extra room at the front matters while walking, but also during play.

When they change direction.

When they stand on tiptoe.

When they crouch down to pick something up.

Or when they suddenly start running because someone has said the word “break time”.

The shape of the footwear does not do the work for their feet.

It simply stops preventing them from doing it.

A flat 5 mm sole to keep them closer to the ground

The Mustang Free Bronx have a flat 5 mm sole and zero drop.

The heel and forefoot remain at the same height, without a raised rear section that tilts the body forwards.

This allows the foot to rest on an even base while the child walks, plays or stands.

The sole is made from TPR and has a reduced thickness to maintain greater proximity to the ground.

A base designed for everyday use on pavements, flooring and common urban surfaces.

Without placing an unnecessarily raised platform beneath their feet.

Children already carry enough weight in their school bags.

There is no need to add more beneath their feet.

A hook-and-loop strap and elastic laces so they can put them on independently

The Mustang Free Bronx combine elastic laces with a hook-and-loop strap.

The laces preserve the classic look of a retro trainer, but they do not need to be tied and untied every time.

The upper strap allows the footwear to be opened, adjusted and fastened quickly.

This makes it easier for children to put the shoes on by themselves.

No knots.

No laces dragging along the floor.

And no need to call an adult every time they want to take their shoes off.

A small advantage until the morning arrives.

They need to get dressed.

Prepare their school bag.

Find the thing that was “right here” yesterday.

And leave the house before the clock decides to turn against you.

The more they can do by themselves, the better for them.

And much better for you.

Retro design for school, walks and everyday wear

The Mustang Free Bronx have an urban, sporty look inspired by classic trainers.

Their low profile, layered panels, side logo and contrasting sole create shoes with personality that remain easy to combine.

They can be worn to school.

For a walk.

For an afternoon out.

Or throughout any day when the child needs to move freely.

They work with jeans.

With tracksuit bottoms.

With casual clothing.

And with almost any outfit that does not require formal footwear.

They do not look like technical shoes.

Nor like a model chosen only for its features.

They have a look that children may enjoy.

And a shape that may convince you.

Front reinforcement for one of the areas exposed to the most wear

The front section features an external reinforcement that protects an area particularly exposed to everyday rubbing.

Because children do not walk as though they are taking part in a footwear-care demonstration.

They drag the toes.

They kneel down.

They stop themselves with their feet.

And find kerbs where an adult saw nothing more than a completely clear pavement.

The reinforcement adds protection to the front during everyday use.

It does not make the footwear indestructible.

No manufacturer of children’s shoes has managed that yet.

But it does protect one of the areas that usually receives a large share of daily wear.

Cotton interior and removable insole

The lining and insole of the Mustang Free Bronx are made from 100% cotton.

This material creates a textile surface inside shoes designed to accompany many hours of activity.

The insole is flat and removable.

Removing it makes it easier to air the inside after use and allows it to be cleaned separately.

It also helps when checking the fit.

You can place the child’s foot on the insole and see more clearly how much room remains in front of the toes.

Something particularly useful when their feet seem to grow overnight without telling anyone.

The Mustang Free Bronx include one insole.

They do not include any additional elevation, so the model retains its zero-drop construction.

Vegan materials with PETA-Approved Vegan certification

The upper of the Mustang Free Bronx is made from 100% PU, while the sole is made from 100% TPR.

The model uses a vegan formulation in its materials, adhesives and finishes.

It is also certified PETA-Approved Vegan.

This means no materials of animal origin are used in its manufacture.

A feature that complements its barefoot design and practical everyday purpose.

Who are the Mustang Free Bronx for?

The Mustang Free Bronx are designed for children who need urban barefoot shoes with a hook-and-loop strap for school, walks and everyday use.

They are particularly suitable for families looking for a wide toe box, a flat base and a fastening system that children can manage with greater independence.

They also suit those who prefer a retro, sporty appearance that is easy to wear outside school.

They are not specifically designed for football, mountain use or technical trails.

Nor do they replace waterproof boots during heavy rain.

Their place is on urban surfaces and during ordinary everyday activities.

Walking.

Playing.

Going to school.

Going out for a walk.

And doing all those things children do while adults continue wondering where all that energy comes from.

Because their feet need space. And their shoes can have some personality too.

My size in Mustang Free Bronx

To find the right size, measure the child’s foot and click the ‘Check your size here’ link below the size selector.

If you are between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger one for a more relaxed and natural fit. Their toes should have enough room to move and spread freely.

And if the size is not right the first time, there is no problem: you can exchange it easily. The process is quick and free if you activate the €1.99 exchange insurance (valid for mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands).

Care and maintenance of Mustang Free Bronx

Materials: clean the PU surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Remove dust, mud and dirt after each use to prevent build-up.

Remove the insole and allow both the shoes and the insole to air separately before storing them.

Care products: use products specifically designed for synthetic materials and test them first on an inconspicuous area.

Do not use bleach, solvents, abrasive products or hard brushes. Avoid washing the Mustang Free Bronx in the washing machine, as water, movement and detergent could affect the materials and adhesives.

Allow them to air dry in the shade. Do not place them next to radiators, heaters or other direct sources of heat.
