Frequently Asked Questions

General Information About EBMINI® Kids Shoes

1. Who are EBMINI® Kids shoes suitable for?

EBMINI® Kids shoes are designed for babies, toddlers and children who need natural freedom of movement.
They support healthy foot development from first steps through to active everyday life at daycare, school and play.

2. Why are barefoot-style shoes beneficial for children?

Children’s feet are still growing and need maximum freedom to move naturally.

Barefoot-style shoes help:

  • Support natural foot alignment

  • Strengthen foot muscles

  • Improve balance and body awareness

  • Prevent toe restriction

3. What activities are EBMINI® shoes suitable for?

Our shoes are ideal for everyday wear, daycare, school, playground time, walks and light outdoor activities.

Selected models are also suitable for autumn and winter — please check the individual product description.

Sizing & Fit

4. How do I choose the right size?

Measure your child’s foot while standing, from heel to the longest toe.

Add 12–15 mm for natural movement and growing room.
Compare your measurement with the size chart on the product page, which is based on the internal shoe length.

5. How wide are EBMINI® shoes in the toe area?

All EBMINI® Kids shoes feature a wide toe box that allows toes to spread naturally.

This helps support healthy foot development and reduces pressure or discomfort.

6. Why are there no sizes 20 and 21?

Our sizing is based on the actual internal length of the shoe.

Some sizes cover overlapping foot lengths, reducing unnecessary intermediate sizes and avoiding confusion.

Comfort & Everyday Wear

7. Can my child wear socks with EBMINI® shoes?

Yes, absolutely.

Thin, breathable socks can be worn comfortably — especially during cooler weather.

8. Can I add insoles or inserts?

Our shoes are designed for natural barefoot-style movement.

Thin, flexible insoles may be used if needed, as long as they do not restrict natural foot movement.

9. Are EBMINI® shoes suitable for winter?

Yes.

We offer winter-ready models with warm lining and slip-resistant outsoles.

Please refer to the product description for seasonal details.
