Beda's barefoot sneaker is a well-made barefoot shoe for children/juniors, of high quality. The upper part of the shoe is made of synthetic leather that breathes thanks to the air holes at the front. On this model, called Junior, the Velcro straps have been replaced with laces. There are reflectors on the back of the heel counter. The fit of the shoe is adapted for most foot shapes. The toe box is wide to allow the toes to spread out in a healthy way. The sole is completely flat, soft, and flexible, providing good ground contact and balance during a child's play. The sole is made of durable rubber and offers good grip on various types of surfaces. The combination of low shoe weight and barefoot characteristics makes these shoes very popular.

The feeling is almost like being barefoot, but the foot is still protected in all weathers. The shoe is manufactured in the Czech Republic (Vranovice) under strict European regulations regarding safety, health, and quality.

Tip: Treat the shoes with leather care products—e.g., beeswax or a waterproofing spray such as Collonil Organic Cover—before first use and regularly thereafter, so the shoes are effectively protected against dirt and moisture.
