They also have an extra wide toe box and durable outsoles, while still retaining a lot of flexibility &#8211; these are shoes that kids and parents can get excited about. While Be Lenka lacks some of the practical outdoor options that you get from Vivobarefoot, they make up for it with their pizazz and high quality shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Be-Lenka-Sneakers-top-side-worn.jpg\" alt=\"A child tying the laces on a pair of black and white leather wide toe box sneakers from Be Lenka.

We particularly love the Nittugo with a wool insole as a breathable non-stinky option &#8211; perfect for kiddos who won&#8217;t wear socks. The winter models are made with wool and are surprisingly warm for how light and thin they are (get an additional <a href=\"https:\/\/us.wildling.shoes\/collections\/accessories?accessories=accessories_insoles?ref=annamariejensenp&amp;utm_source=affiliate&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=Ongoing&amp;utm_term=Anya%27s+Reviews&amp;utm_content=generic\">felt insole<\/a> for max warmth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there are limits to the water resistance &#8211; they will get soaked if you stay in water long enough and then can be difficult to dry (I swear by my <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Fq7PbR\">vent dryer!<\/a>). And if used for rough play the sole can start to come undone and develop holes in the fabric upper over time &#8211; but they last much long than you would think for how light and flexible they are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We love Wildling best for comfort and <em>casual use<\/em>, in that domain they are hard to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sizing &amp; Fit Type:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fits long (on purpose)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Width varies by model<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Typically fits high volume<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Wildling works for a variety of foot types because the sole flattens out and molds to your foot shape. They&#8217;re also designed to leave plenty of space in front of the foot so your toes never touch. Wildling makes some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/the-best-barefoot-shoes-for-babies-toddlers\/\">best barefoot shoes for infants and toddlers.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that the fit varies by model, and models change seasonally so always read the sizing &amp; fit description on Wildling&#8217;s website before purchasing. In general this brand fits medium width and high volume, so we usually get the extra insole for my son with low volume feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/brand\/wildling-shoes\/\">Read all the Wildling reviews I&#8217;ve written here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-ast-global-color-8-color has-css-opacity has-ast-global-color-8-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shapen Barefoot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"38954\" src=\"https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shapen-Kids-sneakers-line-up.jpg\" alt=\"A line of pretty sparkly functional barefoot shoes for kids from Shapen Barefoot\" class=\"wp-image-38954\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shapen-Kids-sneakers-line-up.jpg 900w, https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shapen-Kids-sneakers-line-up-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shapen-Kids-sneakers-line-up-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"38955\" src=\"https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shapen-Kids-barefoot-sneakers-worn-side.jpg\" alt=\"A pair of well worn Shapen barefoot kids sneakers with a wide toe box and velcro straps\" class=\"wp-image-38955\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shapen-Kids-barefoot-sneakers-worn-side.jpg 900w, https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shapen-Kids-barefoot-sneakers-worn-side-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shapen-Kids-barefoot-sneakers-worn-side-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shapen-Kids-barefoot-sneakers-worn-side-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Leather | Winter options | Sizes EU 25-35 | Ships from EU<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-4 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/go\/shapen-kids\/\">Shapen Kids<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Use code <strong>ANYA5<\/strong> for 5% off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Adorable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sturdy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Universal fit (wide at the toes, secure in the midfoot &amp; heel)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Pricey<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not super flexible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No returns from outside the EU<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Shapen&#8217;s barefoot kids shoes are adorable, sturdy, and have lots of toe room.

They have lots of vegan options and some lined boots in the fall &amp; winter. We&#8217;ve never had them fall completely apart, but the thinner uppers take more of a beating than the more durable barefoot kids brands listed here. My kids still love them because they&#8217;re so comfy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another challenge with Mukishoes is that inventory changes seasonally and it can be hard to plan ahead. They do small batch production, often using limited quantity of materials, so you never know exactly what they&#8217;ll have available.

They are soft and breathable (no stinky feet issues even when worn without socks), they pull on with elastic laces, and they have held up really well for us.
