The Austrian brand Superfit has been dedicated to children's footwear for over 50 years, and during this time, it has become a name that parents actively seek out – and rightly so. Superfit shoes are developed in collaboration with pediatric orthopedists, undergo independent testing for harmful substances, and share one goal: to support the healthy development of children's feet from their first steps until their last year of primary school.
In our range, you will find a complete selection of Superfit footwear for the entire year: sneakers, sandals, slippers, winter boots, and indoor slippers. And thanks to the WMS width system, even a child with atypically narrow or wide feet can find a perfect fit.
What makes Superfit shoes different
Many children's shoes look similar at first glance. The difference lies in the details that a child may not recognize themselves, but their foot certainly will.
- Anatomically shaped insole made of genuine leather absorbs moisture, adapts to the shape of the foot, and can be removed for easy drying or replacement with an orthopedic insert.
- Firm heel counter and reinforced toe cap keep the heel in the correct position and prevent the foot from pronating inwards; the toe cap (stiffener) protects the toes from impacts while running.
- Outsole with natural roll-off follows the movement of the foot from heel to midfoot to toe, so the foot works as it should, instead of overcoming the resistance of a stiff sole.
- WMS width system offers every model in three widths (narrow S, medium M, wide W), so Superfit children's shoes fit even children for whom standard off-the-shelf widths are not suitable.
- Gore-Tex membrane in selected models keeps feet dry even during a heavy downpour or a puddle that no child will avoid. Specifically, Superfit Gore-Tex children's shoes are the most common choice for parents for autumn and winter.
- Easy fastening with hook-and-loop closures or elastic laces ensures that children can put on their shoes themselves, without waiting and without morning stress.
Why quality children's footwear matters
A child's foot is not just a smaller version of an adult's. It is softer, more malleable, and much more sensitive to inappropriate shoes than most parents realize. Orthopedists therefore recommend measuring a child's foot approximately every 6 to 8 weeks, as the feet of young children can grow an entire size in a few weeks. Poorly fitting shoes can affect foot development for years to come, while footwear with support where needed and freedom where the foot needs to grow makes a difference that is only evident in adulthood.
This principle is precisely what the entire collection of Superfit footwear in our offer is based on. And that is why, when parents are looking for healthy Superfit shoes for their children, the quality of materials and construction is the first thing we confirm to them.
Superfit footwear for every season
Our collection of Superfit shoes covers the entire year, so feet have appropriate footwear every month:
- Sneakers are athletic and everyday models for school, clubs, and playgrounds. Among the most popular are STORM, BREEZE, SPORT7 MINI, or TRACE with a Gore-Tex membrane. The complete offer can be found in the children's sneakers collection.

How to choose the right Superfit shoe size
Shoes that are too small deform the toes, while shoes that are too large destabilize the ankle, and both can manifest months later. You can measure at home in a few minutes:
- Have the child stand on a piece of paper in socks.
- Using a pencil held perpendicular to the floor, mark the end of the longest toe.
- Measure the distance from the heel in millimeters and repeat the process for the other foot.
- Always use the longer foot.
Then enter the measured value into the Superfit size calculator directly on the specific product page. It will advise you on the exact size and the recommended allowance for healthy growth.
