Febo GO – transitional children's leather barefoot shoes

The Febo GO collection is designed as a universal transitional barefoot shoe for everyday wear. The shoes are extremely flexible both transversely and longitudinally, which is one of the main attributes of barefoot shoes and helps to make walking seem natural. The basis is the unique 3 mm rubber sole of Baby Bare Shoes, which supports better contact with the surface when walking and a more natural step.

The upper is made of high-quality smooth, velor or patent leather, depending on the specific version. With smooth leather, which can be more sensitive to abrasion, the option of adding an anti-skid strip on the toe (Asfalica) may also be available, depending on the offer. Thanks to the cut and tightening options, selected models can also fit so-called flippers and can often be tightened well around a narrower ankle.

Why choose: transitional shoes for spring and autumn, exceptional flexibility, flexible 3 mm sole, leather versions according to variant, possibility of toe protection according to the offer, honest production in Slovakia with a high proportion of handwork in the Febo collection.

Suitable for: transitional period, kindergarten and school, walks and ordinary everyday activities. The collection often suits standard wide to wider feet and can also fit so-called flippers (narrower heel, wider front). Instep suitability is usually better for low to standard insteps, for higher insteps we recommend checking the recommendations for a specific model.

Selection tips: measure the length and width of the foot while standing and choose according to the size chart for a specific model. If toe durability is important to you, focus on versions with a toe protection element or on toe protection options according to the offer for the product. We recommend impregnating most models before first use, and treating varnished models according to specific recommendations. Note: shoes damaged mechanically, for example by a scooter, cannot be claimed.

Mini-FAQ:

Is impregnation necessary?
Yes, for most leather models before the first wear.

How can shoes be cleaned if they become heavily soiled with mud?
Smooth leather can be wiped with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a cleaning foam intended for leather. Avoid washing in a washing machine, which would irreversibly damage the adhesives and structure of the leather.

Is the Asfaltico material on the toe resistant to intensive use on a scooter?
Asfaltico is a highly durable material that significantly extends the life of the toe. However, extreme braking with your feet on a scooter can cause it to tear, which is considered mechanical damage.

Does the heel have any form of reinforcement (heel)?
The model has a slightly reinforced heel, but does not have a hard plastic heel. It is an ideal compromise between stability and barefoot freedom.

What type of foot are they suitable for?
They are suitable for medium to wider feet of the "flip" type (wide front part, narrower heel).

Are they suitable for higher insteps?
The model is best suited for children with normal to medium insteps. For children with extremely high insteps, they may be tight or may not be comfortable to wear.
