Orangenkinder

Barefoot brand from Germany.

Orangenkinder makes children's leather slippers, crawling shoes and Amigo barefoot shoes, all handmade in its own small workshop in Wilhelmsdorf, Bavaria. I like that the leather is vegetable tanned and chrome free, and the Amigo shoes have a thin, flexible rubber and cork sole that is sewn on rather than glued. They also offer a few sandals and kids socks, and the Amigo sizes start at 20/21.

Specialities: kids, toddlers, slippers, leather, handmade

How Orangenkinder fits

wide width, high volume

Orangenkinder only makes children's shoes, so there's no adult range to size. The brand says growth allowance is already in its chart, so don't add extra, though it advises sizing up for wool-lined pairs. Measure both feet.
