Young Soles

Barefoot brand from United Kingdom, founded 2013.

Young Soles is a children's footwear brand designed in East London and made in Europe, mostly in soft leather with vegan options for some styles. Much of the range is classic British styling like T-bars, brogues, sandals and boots, but I like that they also have a barefoot collection with a zero-drop natural rubber sole and a wide toe box. Sizes run from early walkers up to juniors.

How Young Soles fits

standard width

Young Soles make one width, roughly an F/G fit, so I'd say they suit slim to average feet best. If a pair feels snug, the brand suggests going up a size with a thicker insole. Fit also varies a little between shoes, sandals and boots.
