RAYVE Cupertino Kids' Barefoot Trainers Pink

Kids' barefoot trainers with a wide toe box, zero drop and a flexible 5 mm rubber sole. Nubuck and textile upper, easy to put on with velcro and elastic laces.

Welcome to the barefoot family, our best kids' trainers! RAYVE Cupertino Junior are kids' barefoot trainers that respect the natural development of a child's foot. Light, flexible and roomy enough, just as first and later shoes should be. Thanks to the updated cut, which is narrower at the heel, they adapt perfectly to your child's foot.

The combination of nubuck and textile gives durability and breathability, while the thin sole lets your child feel the ground and use their feet naturally. With simple fastening, the shoes are easy to put on and stay securely on the foot.

REVIEW

"The Cupertino won me over. They are wonderfully flexible shoes with a perfect shape for toes. The big toe side is nicely straight, so the big toe has enough room to push off properly, which strengthens the foot naturally.

What's great is that even though the toe box is wide, the shoe sits well at the heel and doesn't slip. The sole is designed to stabilise the heel and keep it in the correct alignment, which stops ankles collapsing inwards. The gently reinforced back of the shoe helps a lot here. Children can put them on easily by themselves, and from experience I know they are really hard-wearing."
