The soles on all Soft Star Shoes are soft and flexible with non-skid surfaces.

You may feel lucky when you find a pair of comfortable, good-fitting shoes for your child, but the Soft Star crew think comfort is no accident. They have spent years searching for the right soles to go on their shoes and moccasins.

They believe soft soles not only feel good, but they are also good for you! Human feet are complex structures, with 26 bones and 126 muscles and ligaments. Podiatrists agree, the more time spent barefoot, the better for the development of a healthy and athletic foot.

Balance, strength and flexibility are maximized when feet are allowed to develop naturally. When your child can't go barefoot, a soft sole that mimics barefoot conditions is ideal. Soft soled shoes are critical for healthy feet.

So whether you are looking for soft soled baby shoes for your precious little one's first steps or a healthy alternative to the common heavy, inflexible soles made for children or just comfortable slippers for your children to wear around the house, Soft Star Shoes has just the right sole for you!

Moccasins

Soft Star Vegan Moccasins start with a synthetic fleece inner sole that works as a cozy cushion. They then add an outer sole made of T-rex, a non-slip rubberized sole. T-rex is made with the same material used by mountain climbers to protect them from the elements and provide extra gripping. These black, rubberized soles also maintain a clean appearance even after a lot of wear and add a moisture barrier, keeping feet a little drier when they walk across a wet sidewalk.

Shoes

As your children grow, what they need in a sole changes. Many children's shoes made today are simply scaled down versions of adult shoes with arch supports, stiff soles and foot beds that are too narrow to allow developing feet room to spread.

The ideal children's shoe should provide protection from the elements while doing the best to simulate barefoot conditions. Soft Star Shoes are designed wider for small feet, with flexible soft soles and breathable materials. All our soles are as lightweight and flexible as possible while still providing the protection needed for your child's stage of development.

Our classic Vibram sole is lightweight and flexible, but tough enough to handle anything your child can dish out. Vibram provides light cushioning and also molds over time to your child's foot.
