A child's foot develops best when it can work naturally. Superfit Superfree children's sneakers are designed with the Barefit concept, a well-thought-out compromise between the feeling of walking barefoot and the protection provided by a classic shoe.
What does this mean in practice? The asymmetrical cut with a wider toe box gives the toes enough space and respects the natural shape of the foot. The super-thin and flexible sole supports the natural perception of the surface and allows the foot to work as it should. At the same time, it protects the foot from hard pavement, cold, and bad weather better than pure barefoot shoes. The result is footwear that supports healthy foot development without the child having to walk truly barefoot.
The collection includes low-cut and ankle-high models made of suede or smooth leather, with Velcro fasteners or a combination of Velcro and elastic lacing. Some models are also available with a Gore-Tex membrane for protection against moisture. All models are developed in collaboration with pediatric orthopedists, and materials are independently tested for harmful substances.
What does every Superfree model offer the foot?
- Asymmetrical cut with a wider toe box that respects the natural shape of a child's foot and dominant big toe, allowing the toes to spread freely.
- Super-thin and flexible sole with zero drop, meaning the heel and toe are on the same level, with no artificial arch support. The foot works naturally, but the sole absorbs shocks better than pure barefoot.
- Slightly reinforced heel counter for ankle stability, especially useful for children with looser ankles.
- Removable chrome-free leather insole that wicks away moisture, adapts to the shape of the foot, and can be removed for drying or replacement with an orthopedic insert.
- Velcro or a combination of Velcro and elastic lacing for easy putting on and perfect foot fixation.
- WMS width system - M IV for a precise fit on normal and slender feet.
Who is Superfree designed for?
Superfree is ideal for active children whose parents want to support natural foot development but find full barefoot unsuitable for various reasons, such as frequent walking on hard urban surfaces or the need for firmer heel support. The collection is available from size 20 to 28, which corresponds to foot lengths of approximately 120 to 174 mm, or children roughly from one and a half to four years old.
If you are looking for classic everyday children's sneakers without barefoot features or a wider selection of children's footwear, also check out other Superfit collections.
How to choose the right Superfit Superfree size?
Orthopedists recommend measuring children's feet every 6 to 8 weeks, as young children's feet can grow by a full size in just a few weeks.
Measuring takes two minutes: have your child stand on a piece of paper in socks, mark the end of the longest toe, and measure the distance from the heel in millimeters. Always use the longer foot. Then enter the measured value into the Superfit size calculator directly on the specific product page.

Superfit Superfree Gore-Tex – Barefit footwear even in the rain
Some models in the collection are available with a Gore-Tex membrane. This keeps feet dry even in puddles or unexpected rain, without compromising breathability. Superfit Superfree Gore-Tex is an ideal choice for transitional months when you want to retain the benefits of the Barefit cut while reliably protecting your feet from moisture. If you are looking for a wider selection of children's all-season footwear with a membrane, check out other models in our offer.
Models without Gore-Tex are a bit lighter and even more breathable, a great choice for warmer months or as everyday children's sneakers for kindergarten and after-school activities.
Superfree as part of a complete shoe wardrobe
For at home, children's slippers, children's sandals, or other children's indoor footwear are suitable. For summer, you'll appreciate breathable children's summer shoes or children's sandals. And when it's time for first grade, don't forget about the right school bag or backpack for school.
