Why Kids Should Go Barefoot More Often — And When to Wear Sandals

Going barefoot helps children strengthen their foot muscles and improve balance. But there are times when sandals are essential to protect young feet.

Benefits of going barefoot:

✅ Strengthens arches and toes
✅ Improves posture and coordination
✅ Increases sensory awareness

When to wear sandals instead:

🚫 Hot pavement or sand
🚫 Rocky or rough terrain
🚫 Public places where hygiene is a concern
🚫 Situations where extra grip is needed

EQW SPORT sandals provide a healthy compromise — protecting feet while allowing natural movement and room to grow.
