Designed to let them grow
From the very first steps, little feet need freedom to strengthen, balance and grow naturally.
Every detail of Sautille is designed for this: a wide toe box, soft flexibility that follows movement, and lightness that toddlers forget in seconds.
Perfect fit
Soft, adjustable fastening that gently follows the natural shape of the foot – from ankle to instep.
Wide toe box
Shaped to follow the natural form of the foot and give toes all the space they need to move freely.
Super flexible
Every step is supported, never restricted. The sole moves with the foot and lets muscles do their job – just like barefoot.
No artificial support
Flat soles that respect natural arch development, letting feet grow without interference.
FAQ
What if I order the wrong size?
What if I order the wrong size?
Getting the right fit is important, so all returns and exchanges are free, quick and easy within 30 days.
Do they fit all foot shapes?
Do they fit all foot shapes?
yes – Earthies shoes are designed to suit all types of little feet: slim, chubby, narrow or chunky.
Thanks to their adjustable fit and flexible material, they offer proper support while following the natural shape of the foot – never squeezing it.
For specific medical needs (e.g. foot deformities, instability, postural concerns), we strongly recommend consulting a healthcare professional such as a podiatrist or paediatric specialist before ordering.
Do you offer different width options?
Do you offer different width options?
We made the choice to offer a single fit, carefully designed to sit between standard and wide.
With flexible materials the shoe naturally adapts to your child’s foot, ensuring a comfortable fit for both narrower and wider feet.
Where can my child wear them?
Where can my child wear them?
At home, at nursery, in the garden, at the park, on the beach… Earthies shoes go wherever your child goes.
The soft, durable fabric is made to handle everyday adventures – even the messier ones.
They’re not fully waterproof, but they handle water very well. After a busy day, just pop them in the washing machine on a cold cycle (without the insoles) and they’ll come out like new.
How are they different from regular shoes?
How are they different from regular shoes?
At Earthies, we started with one belief: nothing beats barefoot walking for little ones learning to walk. That’s exactly what our shoes are designed to mimic – with precision and no compromises.
Unlike many traditional shoes – often stiff, tight, or heavy – Sautille respects the natural movement of growing feet with:
- Ultra-flexible soles, to support every step without getting in the way.
- Wide toe-box, so little toes can spread and move freely.
- Adjustable fit, to follow the shape of the foot with no pressure.
- Breathable mesh, comfy with or without socks.
- Featherlight feel, so it’s almost like being barefoot.
Don’t toddlers outgrow their shoes too quickly?
Don’t toddlers outgrow their shoes too quickly?
Between ages 1 and 3, most children need to size up three to four times a year.
At this stage, the shoes they wear have a lasting impact on how their feet grow, but with barefoot shoes being more expensive than average, frequent size changes can quickly add up.
That’s why we created encourage getting multiple sizes when you order Earthies. Each time your child outgrows their pair, you have next size ready without worry.
