Little Love Bug Company

Barefoot brand from United States, founded 2017.

Little Love Bug Company is a Portland, Oregon brand making barefoot-inspired shoes for babies, toddlers and bigger kids, with sizes from 2C up to 3Y. I like that the range goes beyond sneakers to boots, sandals, oxfords and dressier flats, many in leather, all with a wide toe box, zero drop and flexible soles. There is also a tougher Play Perfect silicone sole for hard-wearing play, plus a few pairs of kids' socks.

Specialities: kids, toddlers, boots, sandals, leather

How Little Love Bug Company fits

mixed toe box, mixed volume

This is a children's range, so it won't suit adult feet. The brand calls its newer Barefoot Sole wide and foot-shaped, but Anya's Reviews found older-sole styles look tapered and snug for wide, high volume feet. Measure first and size up for orthotics.
