Childrens Shoes

Children's feet grow quickly. To ensure that they grow healthily, it is important that children wear the right shoe size at all times. If the shoes are too small and constrict the toes, this can lead to deformities or joint problems in the long term. This is because young children's bones are still soft and they adapt quickly.

Children's shoes should also not be too big. Then the feet "swim" in the shoe and children often cramp their toes in order to have enough support. It is therefore important to find the right size, because every foot is individual, especially in terms of its shape.

To find the right shoe size quickly and easily, simply use our size finder.

Every child's foot is individual and varies in length, width, and height of the instep. Basically, Affenahn shoes fit the natural shape of your child's feet. For children with very wide feet, you should try whether your child stands firmly on the sole or already on the edge of the sole, which could be perceived as uncomfortable.

The width of the barefoot shoes adapts to the natural shape of the feet by using flexible materials. In addition, the shoes can be individually adapted to the child's foot using Velcro fasteners, a quick lacing system or laces, which is why children with narrower feet can also wear Affenzahn shoes. It may be helpful to put an additional insole in the shoes.

Our feet carry us throughout our lives. Many adults struggle with foot deformities and resulting posture problems or back problems, often caused by wearing the wrong shoes in early childhood. We want to do better for our own children! That's why only an ergonomic concept comes into question for our Affenzahn barefoot shoes. With our barefoot shoes, we want to lay the foundation for the healthy development of children's feet: the shoes offer enough space to grow in the toe area, the sole allows natural contact with the ground and offers maximum freedom of movement thanks to its extreme flexibility. To ensure that the shoes are also a lot of fun for the children, we also put a lot of grip into the best shape and cool extras such as a beastly good right-left distinction, easy-to-use closures and last but not least: a unique design.

If the shoes are placed together with the heel, the animal flags on the back form a whole animal. If the shoes are not placed correctly, the puzzle pieces do not form a whole animal. Children learn which shoe should be placed on the right foot. On the Dreamer winter sneakers, you can distinguish right from left by putting together the words "We belong" & "Together".

The period is largely or exclusively based on the age of the child and the associated growth of the child's feet. For small children, this means buying new shoes and booties every three to four months at the latest. At kindergarten age, the growth of children's feet visibly slows down - and at primary school age, it is also possible to change shoes once a season. Our Affenzahn shoes are designed in such a way that they always leave enough room for the feet to grow without losing their support.

Apart from the upper or outer material of the children's shoe, the lining plays an important role - because the child's foot has direct contact with it. In addition to quality, the lining properties and the absence of harmful substances are important here. A distinction is generally made between three categories: leather, textile and synthetic.

The workmanship of the upper material + lining at Affenzahn is of such high quality that the children's shoes are windproof and waterproof - and remain so for a long time. Microscopically small pores between the upper and lining prevent water from entering from the outside - at the same time, moisture from children's feet is released to the outside through the pores.
