Ricosta

Barefoot brand from Germany.

QNUFFS is the barefoot line from German children's shoemaker Ricosta, and I'd call it a kids-only range, mostly in sizes 25 to 33. There are sandals, low shoes, sneakers, ballerinas and boots, such as the Tanne. They all have a zero drop, a thin flexible natural rubber sole and an extra wide toe box, and many have Velcro straps you can shorten.

How Ricosta fits

sloped toe box, standard width, medium volume

These are children's shoes only, EU 25 to 33, with no adult range. The brand calls the toe box wide, but one retailer finds it a touch snug for a big toe and narrower overall, so measure first and use the size chart, which already includes growing room.
