Reima (children’s vegan snow boots from Finland)

Reima (Finland) makes ‘barefoot shoes’ all from eco-friendly vegan materials. And nice sneakers and winter snow boots (this is Finland, for goodness sake!) The shoes have good water-resistance and wide toes for extra room plus flexible soles, all designed to support normal growth of a child’s feet.

You would think that considering the vegan footwear industry for adults has taken off, that for children it would follow closely behind. In fact, there are few vegan brands of shoes for children.

Firstly, let your children go barefoot where safe to do so (unless diabetic) to make sure their feet get air and room to grow. And take them to a shoe shop to get their feet measured, to avoid the hassle of returns, when shopping online.
