About Us

We get it. We've been there too. Choosing shoes for children is hard. Even when they try them on, little people don't always tell you when the fit isn't quite right.

I'm a mum to two very active children (you'll see their feet and shoes around here a lot!) and I've been on a mission to find well-fitting barefoot shoes for them for over four years. As children grow, their feet change — and so do the activities they get up to. That means the shoes that work for them can change too.

Our goal at Barefoot Space is simple: to make it easier for parents to find comfortable barefoot shoes for children that truly fit. We believe children deserve footwear that allows their feet to move naturally, develop strength and support healthy growth without unnecessary restriction.

Fit matters more than size

What makes us different is our focus on fit, not just size. Every child's feet are unique, and finding the right shoes isn't simply about choosing a size based on foot length. Understanding your child's foot shape, width and volume can make all the difference.

That's why we've created detailed sizing and fit guides for the brands and models we stock — to take some of the guesswork out of choosing shoes online.

We've tried them ourselves

Every brand and model we stock has been tried and tested by us and our kids. We're constantly trying new models, seeing how they fit and perform in real life.

We're excited to keep growing our collection of barefoot shoes for little feet and beyond.
