Not my favourite of your
Not my favourite of your barefoot options, but the waterproof add is top notch. I needed to remove the inner sole for my childs foot to fit comfortably and to relieve pressure points. Its also quite difficult for them to put these on oon their own. Unless my child asks for it, I won't purchase this style again.

Bulky for barefoot
My daughter gets very frustrated with the puffy tongue that doesn’t stay tucked in—she says it feels uncomfortable and it’s delayed out leaving the house a few times! Otherwise I want to like the shoe.

Does not hold up in use
The first pair of these shoes broke in less than a month. The top loop of the lace broke. We quickly got a new pair as a replacement when I complained about it. Now it looks like this pair won't last either, as the loop is almost broken after three weeks of use. Otherwise, the shoes fit the child's rather narrow foot well. It's nice that the child can tighten the shoes themselves.

Best barefoot shoes on the market
Honestly, I've tried many, and these are the only ones that aren't enormously wide. They fit my daughter snug, with plenty of space for wide toes. They actually hold up, too. I have confidence they'll last all three of my kiddos. I always size down with Reima, so in order a size smaller than I usually would.

Our daughter loves the shoes. They are simply easy to put on and take off.

Loops also torn off for us
So far, I have always had good experiences with Reima shoes. Unfortunately, however, as mentioned in some other reviews, we now also have the defect of the lace loops. My son has had the shoe for 2 months now, wearing it daily at school and during leisure time. On one shoe, the loops have torn off, but not on the other. I hope I can have them repaired by the cobbler. Otherwise, the shoe is great; for us, it ran rather one size too large.

Finally!
good for running and playing and anything else! Easy for my 5 year old to put on himself. Perfect balance of foot shaped/ barefoot shoe with enough substance and a bit thicker sole

Favorites
My son has been so happy with this shoe that we don't need to look for new models. It makes a big difference when they outgrow them quickly at that age.

Have not even arrived 19
They haven't even arrived by the 19th of the shipment, and Reima just asks to wait.

I recommend
The shoes fit really well, even for a slightly wider child's foot, and the child had similar mid-season and winter shoes in use, and no others are acceptable anymore.

Broken after 1 month
Unfortunately these did not work for us. I bought two pairs for my two kids. They were too narrow for my wide footed kid so we returned those. They worked for my narrow footed kid so we kept those but now the string that holds the laces on is broken after only one month of wear and the shoes are totally unusable. Super bummed! Unfortunately will not be buying again and can not recommend.

Otherwise good, but the strap loop broke after 1 month of use
They would be nice shoes because they are moisture-resistant. But the loops that hold the laces are very flimsy; one of the loops broke after just one month of use, and it is difficult to repair it yourself.

Hyvät kengät
Lapsi on tykännyt. On laadukkaan oloiset ja hyvän näköiset. Itsekin voisin ostaa.

Very satisfied
I bought shoes for myself, according to the Reima shoe size calculator my size would have been 36, but my toes were right at the edge and the shoes felt small. It's funny that the calculator didn't leave any (growth) allowance in the size suggestion. I switched to a larger size and at first they squeezed my instep, but they quickly gave in. So if the shoe feels a bit tight in that area, I wouldn't give up right away, because it will loosen up! Now the shoes are REALLY comfortable on my feet. I hope we can continue to get similarly colored minimalist pj shoes!!! I will definitely buy again if the need arises. I'm a bit worried though about what other reviewers have said, that the shoelaces are weak and can't really be repaired. Let's hope these don't break right away.

Poor quality
Unfortunately the poor quality reviews are true, the shoes are coming apart after 3 months of occasional use, my daughter rotates between other 2 pairs of shoes from another brand, only these ones are breaking. I tried the costumer "support" and they claimed is normal wear and tear, they offered a "courtesy $10 dollar credit" on my next order, the shoes were $60. . . Even with the credit I don't plan to spend $50 in kids shoes that break after a couple months.

Great shoes, but the lace loops break during use.
The 4-year-old and 6-year-old love these, and they are handy as they also withstand moisture. However, the top lace attachment loops of the shoes broke after just a short period of use and from both of my children's shoes. I would expect shoes in this price range to last longer. It's really unfortunate because otherwise, I would have definitely bought these again!

Loop broke with only 4 months of wear
My kid loves his shoes! I thought we were going to really get good quality use out of these shoes, but the loop has broken for his "laces" and there's not much that could be done because of the design of it. It's convenient that there's no laces until it breaks unfortunately

Shoes don't last due to poor lace design.
DO NOT PURCHASE unless you want to pay top dollar for a product that doesn't last. The company seems to have done a good job making a shoe and sole that are durable for kids, but that effort is useless given that they neglected to consider the lace design. Both of the no-tie laces failed- irritating but not the end of the world, just replaced with other laces. Unfortunately, next the loops that hold the laces failed in multiple places making the shoes completely unwearable as there is now no way to keep the shoe on the foot. So frustrating and a major design flaw.

Fabulous shoes, my kids all love them
As usual these particular trainers run wide which is suitable for wide footed kids, but may be leaving too much of wiggle space for narrow footed kids. I have both and both love these. No laces and they sit quite snug even on my narrow footed one. These shoes are the go to for my kids.

Unfortunately did not work for my kiddo
My son was SO excited to receive these, and we were excited to find some great, wide toe-box shoes for him. Unfortunately, even with the expandable top, his instep is just too high and these were way too small (not in length, but in "height" if you will).

Fantastic shoe that takes a beating
This is now our second time round buying these shoes, after outgrowing the first. My kids are incredibly hard on shoes and generally they are utterly destroyed before they are outgrown. These have gone the distance. I even bought myself a pair. Can’t recommend enough, especially if you are wanting barefoot shoes.
