About us

We are a family of three: Nair, Vasco and our little adventurer L.
Our journey into the barefoot world began almost two years ago, when L took her very first steps. I (Nair) started reading a lot about how children develop their motor skills, and how traditional shoes can actually hinder the natural development of little feet. My interest was piqued, it quickly became obvious to us that barefoot shoes were the best way forward for our daughter.
But then there was a challenge: barefoot shoes for children were almost impossible to find in Sweden. Since we have our roots in Portugal, this was an easier journey for us as many barefoot shoes are made in Portugal and Spain.
About a year ago I decided to try barefoot shoes myself. And what a surprise! After just a few weeks I noticed a difference, felt that I had better balance and that my feet felt freer and stronger.
With our own experiences and the knowledge we have accumulated over the years, we felt that we could not keep all this to ourselves. That's why Bärfooties was born! Our vision is to spread awareness of how important barefoot shoes are for the health of our feet and create a greater range of barefoot shoes for all ages 👣
Soon our webshop will reach all of Sweden, and in Gothenburg we plan to have various pop-up meetings.
