A very breathable hiking sandal for natural wear and children's movement. The barefoot Rantaan shoes for kids are super lightweight and comfortable for the beach and all other summer activities. The flat sole allows for a more natural posture and gait. You can let your child roam freely as these shoes are machine washable on a delicate cycle. The flexible and thin sole enables confident steps on various surfaces. Barefoot or minimalist shoes are excellent for a child's early years and for walking on natural terrains. Are you looking for shoes for playing and running on asphalt and concrete? For older kids, on hard surfaces, we recommend sneakers with more shock absorption.
