A nursery day has its own tempo. The morning goodbye, games, an outing, lunch, a nap, and in the afternoon everything all over again. Barefoot shoes for nursery from Be Lenka are designed exactly for this merry-go-round. Featherlight, durable and so simple to put on that even a three-year-old sidekick manages them completely alone.
Which shoes to choose for nursery?
The golden rule is: the child must be able to put them on alone. Velcro is therefore king at nursery; one movement and done. A wide opening the foot slips into easily helps too, as does a soft tongue that doesn’t crumple. An extra practical tip: stick or write the child’s name into the shoes and a little mark to tell left from right. The teachers will thank you, and the shoes won’t get lost even in the fullest cloakroom.
Why barefoot precisely at nursery age?
The years between two and six are key for the foot. The bones are soft, the arch is only forming and the muscles are learning to work. Footwear that shapes and restricts the foot in this period can leave traces for life. Barefoot shoes do the opposite. The spacious toe box lets the toes grow into their natural position, and the flexible sole develops the muscles and balance with every game. It’s precisely at nursery that healthy foot habits are built most easily.
A cloakroom without tears
Anyone who has ever experienced the morning cloakroom at nursery knows that independent shoe-putting-on is more than convenience. It’s a child’s pride. When a child manages to put on their shoes alone, they enter the classroom with a feeling of victory and the goodbye is suddenly easier. Be Lenka nursery models are designed so that this little victory arrives every morning. And in the afternoon, on the way home, once more.
A little nursery-goer’s kit
Nursery calls for a small footwear team. Shoes for outside, indoor shoes for the classroom and something for bad weather. As indoor shoes, breathable sandals or light low models with a firm heel will serve, in which the foot lasts the whole morning. For rainy outings, pack kids’ barefoot wellies, which turn wet weather into an attraction. You’ll find everything in nursery sizes together right in this category.
Which sizes does the nursery category correspond to?
+ -The category covers sizes 20 to 25, which roughly corresponds to the age of two to four years. Every child grows differently, though, so never go by age but by the measured length and width of the foot. Compare them with the size chart of the specific model and add the recommended extra length.
How to teach a child to put shoes on alone?
+ -With patience and the right footwear. Start with velcro shoes with a wide opening, show the steps slowly and let the child try, even if it takes a while. A mark in the shoe to tell left from right helps, for example a picture split in half. Praise every attempt. Most children manage it surprisingly quickly with suitable footwear.
How many pairs does a nursery-goer need?
+ -Three are the foundation. Shoes for outside according to the season, indoor shoes for the classroom and wellies for wet outings. In the transitional seasons, a spare pair in the locker also comes in handy in case of a soaking. It sounds like a lot, but a nursery-goer’s foot grows fast, so the pairs get rotated continuously anyway.
