Zebs are designed to work with kids’ feet, not against them. Most kids’ shoes are simply adult shoes made smaller — narrow at the front and restrictive as feet grow. Zebs are foot-shaped with a wide toe box, giving toes space to spread naturally and build strength, while helping reduce rubbing and blisters. A flat, flexible sole allows natural movement and healthy development, and lightweight, breathable mesh keeps feet comfortable all day. Unlike other shoes, Zebs have redesigned the mid shoe, for a snugger adjustable fit, which means you can size up without feet slipping — allowing them to be worn longer before kids outgrow them. Finished with an easy on/off design, they’re simple for kids to put on themselves.

We’re so confident you and your child will love them that we offer a 40 day risk free trial. if your not completely happy reach out, if our team cant fix the problem you'll get a refund.

We offer fast flat rate shipping NZ-wide (usually next working day after dispatch), international delivery pricing shown at checkout.

Why you should try Zebs

Barefoot shoes aren’t just a trend — they’re backed by research. Studies show that flexible, foot-shaped shoes support more natural movement, improve balance, and help strengthen growing foot muscles. Zebs are designed with a snug, adjustable mid-foot, which means you can size up without feet slipping — so kids don’t outgrow them as quickly.

Millions of people worldwide have already switched to barefoot-style shoes. We’re proud to see more families choosing Zebs and noticing the difference in comfort, movement, and fit.

That’s why we back Zebs with a 40-day risk-free guarantee. Give them a proper go, if you’re not convinced, we’ll refund you.

Perfect shoes for kids. Tick all the boxes. My son says they’re the most comfortable shoes in the world!

Great shoes I got for my grandkids, they use them for everything including school and like them. I was unsure about sizing so contacted Zebs Shoes, they replied quickly and helped me pick the right size.

My 3yo son loves these shoes. They're his first pick when choosing shoes for the day. I also think they look quite good on him too definitely not an ugly shoe. Quality shoe for the price.

I had issues with sizing initially but the customer service was amazing to deal with. Zebs sent me the right size to exchange without delay!

Highly recommend to anyone considering Barefoot shoes for their kids.

These shoes are lightweight and comfortable for my 7 yo. I’ve been looking for a low-structure, barefoot style shoe at a reasonable cost for my little ones for ages, and these fit the bill nicely. They’re smart looking, have an easy-on hook and loop fastener (7yo refuses lace ups), and the toe box is nice and wide.

I would prefer a suede upper, but that would increase the price point. Given the kiddo will likely outgrow these in a year or so, I went for cost effective. They seem pretty sturdy, but we’ve only had them a couple weeks so far.

I wasnt sure about the whole barefoot shoe, but thought I would try them. My kid didnt mind the colour, but probably wouldn't be his first pick. After he tried them a few times he tells me they super comfy and loves them now. Cant say how durable they are as only been using a few weeks, but look strong and well made.
