Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What ages do Zebs Shoes fit?
A: Zebs Origin are available in sizes EU 25 to EU 36, which typically fit kids aged 2 to 9 years. Every child grows at their own pace, so we recommend measuring their feet and using our size guide to find the right fit. Remember to add 1cm for toe wiggle room and growth.
Q: How flexible and lightweight are Zebs Shoes?
A: They’re super lightweight and have highly flexible soles that let little feet move naturally. Most kids forget they’re even wearing them!
Q: What are Zebs Shoes best for?
A: Zebs are designed for everyday adventures — walking, running, climbing, jumping, playground time, and exploring. They're great for school, parks, or casual outings. They’re durable enough for everyday use, but not designed for intense wear like multi day hiking or sports boots.
Q: Zebs Shoes are barefoot shoes — what does that actually mean?
A: Great question! Barefoot shoes are designed to support natural foot development. Zebs have a wide toe box that lets toes spread naturally, a zero-drop sole that keeps the foot level, and minimal structure so feet can move, flex, and feel the ground — just like being barefoot, but with protection.
Q: What does “zero drop” mean, and why does it matter?
A: Zero drop means the sole is flat from heel to toe — there’s no raised heel like in most traditional shoes. This helps your child develop good posture, natural balance, and stronger foot muscles by allowing a more natural walking and running pattern.
Q: Do Zebs Shoes come in traditional packaging?
A: Nope — and that’s intentional. We ship all our shoes in minimal, compostable or recyclable packaging to reduce waste and lighten our footprint. It also helps us keep shipping costs lower and pass those savings on to you.
