Mustang Free Tea - Kids

Retro barefoot shoes for kids with hook-and-loop fastening and elastic laces

The Mustang Free Tea are barefoot shoes for kids with a wide toe box, a flat 5 mm sole and a hook-and-loop fastening combined with elastic laces, designed for school, walks and everyday activities.

Their design combines the look of retro trainers with a shape that better respects the natural form of a child’s foot. The layered panels, contrasting side lines and caramel-coloured sole create a sporty, casual look that is easy to match with everyday clothes.

On the outside, they look like classic sneakers.

On the inside, they provide the space and freedom of movement expected from children’s barefoot shoes.

A particularly interesting combination for kids who want shoes with personality and for families who do not want to squeeze their feet into a narrow toe box.

Wide toe box and flat sole to respect natural movement

Children’s feet are not shaped like many conventional trainers.

The toe area is usually wider, yet much footwear starts to narrow precisely at that point. As a result, the toes end up pressed too closely together for many hours.

The Mustang Free Tea feature a barefoot shape with a wide toe box, providing more room for the toes to position themselves, move and spread more freely.

This is noticeable while walking, but also when children run, crouch down, change direction, stand on tiptoe or turn any quiet journey into an improvised race.

The toe box does not force the big toe inwards or squeeze the foot into a pointed shape. It simply provides a base that is better suited to children’s anatomy.

The sole has a thickness of 5 mm and zero drop. The heel and forefoot remain at the same height, without a raised rear section tilting the foot forwards.

Its reduced thickness keeps the feet close to the ground and avoids placing them on an unnecessarily high platform. A suitable base for walking, playing and moving across everyday urban surfaces.

Hook-and-loop fastening and elastic laces for greater independence

The Mustang Free Tea combine elastic laces with an upper hook-and-loop strap.

The laces retain the appearance of traditional sports shoes, but they do not need to be tied and untied every time. The strap allows the shoe to open widely, making it easier to insert the foot and adjust the fit quickly.

This helps children put on and take off their shoes by themselves.

Without having to learn an entire catalogue of complicated knots before leaving home.

Without loose laces trailing along the floor.

And without constantly relying on an adult to help them get ready.

Independence may seem like a small detail.

Until one morning arrives with an unpacked school bag, breakfast only half finished and five minutes left to get out of the door.

At that point, an easy fastening is no longer just a detail.

It becomes a rather practical advantage.

Retro design for school and everyday wear

The Mustang Free Tea have a look inspired by classic sports trainers. Their low profile, layered panels, wavy side lines and contrasting sole create a distinctive design that is still easy to incorporate into a child’s wardrobe.

They can be worn with jeans, leggings, tracksuit bottoms, casual dresses or everyday outfits. They do not look like technical footwear or shoes chosen only for their barefoot features.

They have a look that children can enjoy.

And a construction that can appeal to anyone looking for barefoot shoes for kids for everyday wear.

The front features an external reinforcement around the toe area. This helps protect one of the sections most exposed to friction during children’s everyday activities.

Because children walk.

But they also kneel down, stop themselves with their feet, occasionally drag the toes and find places to climb where adults only saw a bench.

The reinforcement does not make the shoes indestructible, but it does add extra protection to a particularly exposed area.

Vegan materials and washable footwear

The upper of the Mustang Free Tea is made from 100% PU. The lining is also 100% PU, while the insole is made from 100% polyester and the outsole from 100% TPR.

The model uses a vegan formulation throughout its materials, adhesives and finishes, without components of animal origin. It also carries the PETA-Approved Vegan certification.

The insole is flat and removable. It can be taken out to improve ventilation, cleaned separately and used to check the space available in front of the toes more clearly.

The Mustang Free Tea include one insole and retain the model’s zero-drop construction.

They are also washable shoes certified to withstand 30°C washing cycles in a domestic washing machine, in accordance with ISO 19954:2003.

A practical feature in children’s trainers.

Because asking children not to get dirty usually works very well for approximately three minutes.

Who are the Mustang Free Tea for?

The Mustang Free Tea are designed for children who need retro barefoot shoes with a hook-and-loop fastening for school, walking, outings and everyday activities.

They are particularly suitable for families looking for a wide toe box, zero drop, a thin sole and an easy fastening that encourages children’s independence.

They are also a good choice for anyone who wants to introduce barefoot footwear into daily life without giving up a sporty, cheerful and easy-to-match design.

They are not specifically designed for football, mountain running or technical trails. Those activities require footwear developed for the corresponding sport and terrain.

They are not waterproof boots intended for walking in heavy rain or through deep puddles either.

Their place is at school, on walks, in parks and during everyday urban activities.

On those days when children need shoes that follow their movement without expecting them to walk as though they had just come out of the box.

More room for their toes. Less fuss when getting ready. And a design that does not look as though it was chosen only by adults.

My size in Mustang Free Tea

To find your size, measure the foot and click on the “Check your size here” link below the size selector.

When choosing between two sizes, we recommend selecting the larger one for a more relaxed and natural fit. The toes should have enough room to move and spread freely.

And if you do not get it right the first time, there is no need to worry: you can easily exchange the size. The process is quick and free when you add the €1.99 size-exchange insurance, valid in mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands.
