You learn a lot when you’re barefoot. The first thing is every step you take is different. Michael Franti

We are a barefoot family
Whenever and wherever possible
You will find us all sans shoes
Edie has been walking for about a month now
And most days I forget to take shoes out for her
Most of the time it is fine for our children to play with their feet bare
But sometimes they need something to cover their soles
This is when we turn to barefoot shoes
We have three brands that we turn to
Time and time again
and
This week I am going to tell you about each of them in turn
And share with you some of our favourite styles from each brand
As well as sharing why we are barefoot believers
My children wear barefoot shoes
Wide fitting shoes
That do not restrict movement and growth
Shoes that have softer soles
To allow a more natural gait
Give sensory feedback from the ground
And enable their feet to develop as they should
Without restriction
I have horrible bunions on my feet
These are partly hereditary I understand
And exacerbated by my ill fitting 80s shoes
I have photos of me in school shoes with pointed toes
These shoes combined with genetics
Mean as an adult I have painful deformed feet
This could have been avoided
And I am doing everything I can
To make sure that my children do not follow in my footsteps
They all wear barefoot shoes
For every occasion
So that there feet are free to move and grow as nature intended
Not be confined and constrained by shoes
Dotty Fish shoes are made of soft, natural leather
A slip resistant suede sole means that the soft soled shoes allow little toes to grip on the floor
Having a shoe that is light and very flexible makes learning to walk that much easier
Dotty Fish shoes use breathable leather which keeps feet cool in the summer and warm in winter
Dotty Fish shoes are podiatry tested
And they are affordable
Babies and toddlers grow fast
Buying shoes for tiny feet can be big business
Dotty Fish keep their shoes under £10 a pair
Which means that you can afford to buy more than one pair
And you can afford to buy new sizes every six months as required
The shoes though low cost
Are still high quality
The shoes are soft
They are waterproof
Weather proof
And they stay on little one’s feet
This is made possible by the elasticated ankle
Which also makes the shoes easy to get on and off
Edie loves shoes
And will often bring them to me
And demand I put them on
Edie has a few pairs of shoes now
Including some white flower sandals
And silver T-bar shoes from Dotty Fish
She definitely has an eye for sparkle and shine!
When not roaming around unshod
You will often find Edie tottering and toddling
In Dotty Fish
Leather barefoot shoes
I’m actually a barefoot girl. Elle King
