Papes
Barefoot brand from Spain.
Papes is a Spanish brand making children's barefoot shoes, handmade in Spain with leather uppers and linings. I like that the range covers everyday shoes and trainers, Mary Janes and leather sandals, mostly on wide, roomy lasts with thin 3mm soles made partly from Mediterranean algae.
Specialities: kids, sandals, leather, handmade, wide fit
How Papes fits
sloped toe box, wide width, high volume
Papes only makes children's shoes, so there is no adult range. The brand calls its last wide, with an anatomical toe and room for medium to high insteps, so I'd suit it to kids with broad feet or a higher instep. Measure length and width using their size chart.
