Back to School & Daycare – The Best Shoes for a Stress-Free Start
Discover our comfy slippers and barefoot sneakers – healthy, flexible, and perfect for active little feet.
The summer holidays are almost over, the backpack is packed and it's time to get started: the first day of school or nursery is just around the corner! For many children, this is an exciting moment – and for parents, it's a minor logistical masterpiece. In addition to pens, lunch boxes and water bottles, there is one thing that is essential on the checklist: the right shoes for nursery, school and home. Because only with comfortable and healthy shoes can children's feet start the day right. We show you what is important when it comes to children's shoes and present our highlights for nursery and school: comfortable slippers and our barefoot trainers.
Comfortable and healthy throughout the day: why children's shoes are so important
Children's feet are constantly on the move – whether they are playing, running or climbing. To develop healthily, children need shoes that offer space, flexibility and support. Shoes that are too tight or stiff can restrict natural foot movement and lead to poor posture. That's why we at GIESSWEIN focus on barefoot shoes and breathable materials: they support the natural rolling motion of the foot, strengthen the foot muscles and ensure that children's feet can grow freely and healthily.
Slippers for nursery & home – soft, warm & non-slip
Whether at nursery or at home, slippers are a must-have. They keep children's feet warm, provide a secure grip and are extremely comfortable. We offer slippers made from pure new wool – perfect for the cooler months as they keep feet warm while still being breathable. Or our lightweight cotton slippers, which are particularly suitable for warmer days. Thanks to non-slip soles, children can run around carefree without slipping.

How to find the right shoe for your child
Every child is unique – and so are their feet. That's why it's worth paying special attention to a few things when buying children's shoes:
-
The right size: Shoes should not be too tight, but also not too big.
-
Material: Breathable fabrics such as cotton or wool ensure a good foot climate.
-
Flexibility: Children's feet need to be able to move freely – a flexible sole is a must here.
-
Independence: Practical Velcro fastenings or elastic bands help children to put their shoes on by themselves.
