The Vivobarefoot Gobi Sneaker Junior Shoes bring modern style to your young urban explorer by offering a kid-friendly size of the popular adult model. This lightweight barefoot shoe weighs just 181 grams (size 35 EU) and offers the ideal partnership for your little champion as they work on improving their movement skills through everyday play and adventure. 

The smooth upper hugs their growing feet in soft, chrome-free Wild Hide leather and suede, and features a leather footbed for a comfy feel that can be worn with or without socks. Designed with no insole to maximise ground feel and sensory feedback, this kids’ barefoot shoe keeps them connected.

A flexible Urban Play outsole gives growing feet freedom of movement, encouraging their foot to bend, stretch and balance naturally during play. Providing multi-terrain traction, the Gobi Sneaker Junior casual shoes easily transition from classroom wear to outdoor playgrounds, making them the ideal choice for daily wear, school and active urban exploration.

Key Features: 

  • Zero Drop Kids’ Barefoot Shoes: Provide a level platform from heel-to-toe for a natural posture. 
  • Kid-friendly Fit: Adapts Vivobarefoot's best-seller into a scaled-down profile to cater to your sporty kids’ growing feet, weighing just 181 grams (size 35 EU).
  • Wild Hide Leather and Suede Upper: Premium, durable upper materials that offer everyday comfort while withstanding routine scuffs and scrapes.
  • Elastic Laces: Only need to be tied once to offer a fast and secure, worry-free fit
  • Leather Footbed: Provides a smooth, premium interior finish that feels naturally soft underfoot to enjoy with or without socks.
  • No Insole: Free of unnecessary padding to bring young feet closer to the ground for heightened sensory feedback.
  • Flexible Urban Play Outsole: Engineered to support natural foot mechanics, encouraging freedom of movement and balance.
  • Multi-terrain Grip: Features a versatile traction pattern designed to provide reliable grip from schoolyard and footpaths to action-packed days at the playground.
Yes, Vivobarefoot shoes are ideal kids’ footwear because their wide toe boxes and flexible, thin soles may support natural biomechanics and balance to help young feet move more intuitively. However, it’s important to note that minimalist shoes require intrinsic foot strength and therefore, making the switch to barefoot shoes should be gradual. We recommend consulting a podiatrist to ensure they’re suitable for your child’s feet.
