Benefits of Barefoot Shoes
Barefoot shoes are designed to mimic the benefits of barefoot walking, which is excellent for supporting your child’s developing feet. Here’s why Inch Blue shoes are a healthy choice for your little one:
- Breathable, anatomical shape allows little feet to naturally grow
- Thin and flexible soles allow them to feel the ground for sensory feedback
- Improve balance and posture
Suede vs. Rubber Soles
Suede sole benefits:
- Slip-resistant
- Lightweight
- Fully flexible
Suede soles are ideal for indoor use, crawlers, and pre-walkers.
‘Gripz’ rubber sole benefits:
- Non-slip
- Fully pliable
- Extra layer of protection
‘Gripz’ rubber soles are suitable for damp conditions and walkers.
We recommend you always measure the length of your child’s feet.
Age is listed as a guide, but all children are different.

The gap between the big toe and end of shoe should be 8mm - 15mm.
(if less than 8mm the shoes are too small)
Shoe collars can be personalised with a name, nickname, or special message.
Enter text in the left AND right box.
Letters will be printed in capital letters. Special characters such as commas and diacritics can be lost in the leather grain, so please consider this when entering.
Do not enter hearts or suchlike as they won’t be printed.
Here is an example of how the text will appear on the shoes.
Inch Blue shoes with suede soles are suitable for indoor and light outdoor use in dry conditions, whilst our rubber soles can withstand damp conditions but avoid getting them wet or muddy.
If shoes get wet - stuff them with paper and allow to dry naturally.
Do not machine wash.
How to care for specific materials
Suede - Use a suede brush for suede parts, such as soles and motifs. Caution: Do NOT use a suede brush on leather uppers.
Applique designs - Clean with a damp cloth or baby wipe for best results.
Printed designs - Be mindful of surfaces to maintain design integrity. Clean with a damp cloth only; do NOT use wipes as some may remove colour. Avoid contact with hand sanitisers, oil-based liquids, and creams that can stain.
Natural Wear and Tear
Leather will naturally wear and fade in areas that frequently drag across surfaces, especially on toes, or are exposed to the sun. This wear and tear is a normal part of ensuring little feet are protected while on the move and indicates the shoes are fulfilling their purpose effectively.
