FAQ

Have a question about our barefoot shoes, sizing, or shipping? You're in the right place! Below you'll find answers to the most common questions from our Little Barefoots community. If you can't find what you're looking for, feel free to contact us – we're here to help.

Barefoot shoes are designed to mimic walking barefoot – they have a thin, flexible sole, wide toe box, and zero heel drop. This helps support natural foot development, balance, and posture, especially in growing children. 

We recommend having your child stand on a piece of paper, tracing the foot, and measuring from heel to longest toe. Add a small allowance (typically 0.5–1 cm) for growth. You'll find a detailed measuring guide on our website.  

Shipping times depend on your location. We aim to dispatch all orders within 1–2 business days. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order is on its way.

We carefully select barefoot shoes from trusted European brands:

  • Froddo – designed and made in Croatia
  • Beda – handmade in the Czech Republic

Both brands are known for their quality, natural fit, and comfort for growing feet.

Yes, we ship nationwide across New Zealand! Whether you're in a big city or a small town, we'll get your barefoot shoes to your doorstep.

Prefer to try the shoes in person? You're warmly welcome to visit us in Methven – just get in touch to arrange a time.
