This Reima Astelu breathable barefoot shoe for kids combines a lightweight, elastic knit upper with a thin, 4 mm flexible rubber sole to support natural stance and confident steps. This zero heel drop, wide-last design leaves extra room for toes and promotes a natural gait, while removable Happy Fit insoles make sizing simple. This vegan knit sneaker is ideal for warm-weather play and is machine-washable on a delicate cycle for easy care. This minimalist trainer gives great grip on grass, sand and trails — for heavy impact on asphalt or for older children needing extra cushioning, consider sneakers with more shock absorption.
