About Happy Little Soles:

Happy Little Soles is a family business committed to the importance of the right footwear to allow children’s feet to develop naturally. It was founded by enthusiastic barefooter Kate Harrington, with a mission to promote and make barefoot shoes available more widely.

Happy Little Soles was founded in 2010 in response to the frustration at the issues around children’s shoes available in the high street. Kate came to barefoot shoes when her younger daughter was struggling with shoes and balance and a series of chance conversations led her to Happy Little Soles and the solution to Keala's balance problems!

The more research she did, the more sense it made and the more amazed she was that these options weren’t more widely available. Years of practicing Yoga had taught her the importance of posture, alignment and the role of feet in maintaining healthy posture and good core stability. However she quickly realised that many of the exercises she had been doing were trying to put the flexibility and strength back into her feet that shoes had taken away! It was the light bulb moment! Keala stopped falling over, the family embraced barefoot shoes and Kate took on Happy Little Soles.

Happy Little Soles is committed to making the best barefoot shoes available in the UK and to offering a variety of different brands so you can be sure to find something to suit your child’s feet. We personally select every pair of shoes on our website, making sure they meet our strict criteria to be as close to barefoot as possible.

We work hard to find something to suit every stage of walking from those first steps onwards and for every situation from school shoes to snow boots. We source brands and styles to enable us to fit every possible type and shape of foot and test and measure all of the shoes ourselves to ensure the best possible fitting guidance.

Our aim is to provide the excellent customer service, unbeatable product knowledge and support necessary to enable you to choose the right brand and style for your child and to give you the information and reassurance to fit your own children’s shoes at home.

“Absolutely loving my first pair of Freets. I've been a fan and wearer of barefoot/minimalist/zero drop/wide toe box shoes for nine years. I've run and walked in New Balance Minimus, Vivobarefoot, Merrell Trail Gloves and Merrell Vapor Gloves. I've liked things about them all, but the Freet Feldoms take the light weight and comfort of the Vapor Gloves and add a nice grippy sole. I was sliding around in the mud in my previous shoes; I now have grip, but they're still super light and super flexible – and SUPER comfy. They are really spacious in the toe box. In short, they're excellent. They're my number one holy grail barefoot trail shoe. I hadn't heard of the company but having looked them up, they're clearly a wonderful, ethical, decent, small company, and the pricing is very reasonable. I am absolutely delighted with these shoes. I'd say sizing is bang on. I used to wear a size 5 in 'normal' shoes but always go a size up in barefoot runners. Thank you, Freet, for these brilliant shoes, and thank you, Happy Little Soles, for stocking them. Most runners I see on the hills are wearing inov8s which are a great company too (I'm not knocking them at all; another brilliant, ethical company that produces excellent quality shoes – my son runs in them and loves them) but I found none of their shoes (at the moment, anyway) light and barefoot and wide enough in the toe box for my liking, while still having grip. These are like running in slippers – that's how comfortable they are – but with grip! I've run up dusty hillside, through mud, through tussocky grassland, over roots and rocks and I'm gripping, rather than sliding all over the shop! Slippers with grip! Brilliant!”
