Piruflex

Barefoot brand from Spain.

Piruflex is the barefoot range from Pirufin, a Spanish children's shoemaker that has been making shoes in Spain since 1980. The shoes have a wide toe box, a thin flexible sole and zero drop, and the range covers first walker shoes, trainers, mary janes, sandals and winter boots for girls and boys. I like that you can choose between leather and vegan microfibre versions.

How Piruflex fits

rounded toe box, wide width

It's a children's range with a roomy, rounded front. Their school shoes leave about a centimetre ahead of the longest toe, so go up if between sizes. The 5000 and 5004 trainers use a wider last again.
