We believe shoes should provide protection from the elements while doing their best to simulate barefoot conditions.  Soft Star Shoes are designed wider, with flexible soft soles and natural breathable materials. All our soles are as lightweight and flexible as possible while still providing the protection needed.

For children in particular, this is important as the bones in their feet are still forming and not fully ossified until ages 9-11. Many children's shoes made today are simply scaled down versions of adult shoes with arch supports, stiff soles and foot beds that are too narrow to allow toes room to spread. 

Our shoes have soft, flexible & protective rubber soling.  Sizes 4-7 are low profile, whereas sizes 8 and up are slightly thicker to support the heavier weight of growing children. The soles will mold to your child's foot while providing the protection of a sturdy, non-slip shoe.
