On the left side of the picture, there are three different coloured children's slippers: a blue knitted slipper at the top, a green slipper with Velcro fastening in the middle and a pink slipper with Velcro fastening at the bottom. To the right of these are lots of colourful wooden toys, including building blocks, puzzles, cars, a football, a rainbow, musical instruments and toy tools.

Even the most wonderful summer holidays come to an end at some point, and then it's back to everyday life: starting nursery or a new year at kindergarten. For many children, this means new groups, new routines – and new adventures. To ensure that your child is confident, comfortable and in a good mood during their day at nursery, it's worth taking a look at an often overlooked detail: the right slippers.

 

Why good slippers are so important in nursery

In nursery, children run around, build things, climb and do crafts – both indoors and outdoors. While weatherproof shoes are essential outside, indoors it's all about comfort, a secure fit and a pleasant feel. Children's feet develop rapidly, and they deserve shoes that support this development in the best possible way. Lightweight materials, a flexible sole and a breathable interior are crucial here. Slippers should fit well without being too tight – and above all, they must stay in place during all the playing and running around.

 

Three slippers for little everyday heroes

Here are three models that are not only functionally designed, but also meet your child's need for movement and comfort.

OBERSTAUFEN – Ideal for narrower children's feet

The Oberstaufen children's slipper is made of high-quality virgin wool, making it a good choice for cooler days. The fine wool ensures a pleasantly warm foot climate without overheating. The slightly narrower slim-fit rubber sole offers a secure grip – especially on slippery nursery floors. The practical Velcro fastening makes the shoes very easy to put on and take off. Particularly suitable for children with narrower feet.

KRAMSACH – The classic slipper for children

Kramsach has everything a comfortable slipper needs: a cosy fit, a knitted cuff and a non-slip, flexible rubber sole. The soft sole makes them feel almost like bare feet when worn – ideal for long hours of play and crafts at nursery. The knitted cuff keeps the slipper securely on the foot without constricting it. And with so many colour combinations to choose from, you're sure to find one to suit your child's taste. A robust classic with a feel-good factor.

STRASS – Lightweight slippers for warmer days

When temperatures rise, Strass is the perfect choice. These children's slippers are made of cotton, making them ideal for spring and summer. The material offers moderate warmth without weighing the feet down. Thanks to the Velcro fastening, the shoes are easy to adjust – perfect for everyday wear at nursery. The narrow slim-fit rubber sole provides a secure grip and makes the shoe particularly suitable for children with narrower feet. Perfect for warm days and active children.

The return to nursery brings with it many small challenges – with well-fitting, comfortable slippers, you can take one of them off your child's hands. Models such as Oberstaufen, Kramsach and Strass show that comfort, safety and everyday practicality can go hand in hand – without compromising on child-friendly design. Now, before the hustle and bustle starts again, is the perfect time to take your time and find the right slippers. So your child can get off to a good start right from the beginning.
