Vivo Barefoot Shoes Are Perfect for Kids
A new brand of shoes is available that will allow kids’ feet to develop naturally while still protecting peet from injury. Going barefoot is the best course of action for kids but it is not always practical, so check out Vivo Barefoot Shoes today.
“From a functional perspective, shoes shouldn’t be necessary,” says O’Neill. “In fact, there are more likely to be disadvantages and problems from wearing shoes than not wearing them – among them, deformation caused by a poor fit, ingrown toenails, and athlete’s foot. But you have to consider the environment the child is in. Let’s be honest. Do you want your child walking on the streets or in the park barefoot, where there might be dog poo, dirt and possible hazards like glass?”
This is precisely the niche that a newly launched range of kids’ ‘barefoot shoes’, Vivo Barefoot, aims to fill. “Children get the health benefits of going barefoot with the protection of normal shoes,” says MD Galahad Clark, who is a descendent of the shoemaking Clarks family. The shoes, with sizes ranging from 18 months (the age from which most babies are walking) to seven years, are wide, light and flexible with a 3mm puncture-resistant sole.
