Bundgaard Rain Army rubber boots with lining

Description

Bundgaard Rain Army low-cut, lightweight, and warm barefoot rubber boots for children.

These green rubber boots feature a foot-shaped toe box and are made from natural rubber, free from harmful chemicals. The flexible, waterproof rubber outsole allows natural foot movement while providing good grip. A warm wool lining and removable wool insoles keep feet cosy, allow for easy drying, and help monitor foot growth. A narrower heel ensures a secure fit. Lighter and more flexible than winter-lined boots, they’re perfect for active kids in all kinds of weather.

When to wear: Ideal for wet and cooler conditions from autumn to spring. We recommend wearing rubber boots only when necessary – on rainy days when other shoes are no longer waterproof. Read more in our blog about why it’s best to wear rubber boots as little as possible.

Fit: Bundgaard rubber boots are a good fit for feet of medium and wide width. The boots are not suitable for low instep and wide calves. Rubber boots cannot be well attached to the ankle, meaning they should fit the kid’s feet very well – not be too wide or too high to avoid the pressure on feet muscles. If shoes are not well attached to the ankle, we unconsciously use our feet muscles to keep them on. This causes pressure in the muscles and prevents blood circulation. Most kids are not able to determine if shoes fit them well which is why we as parents need to make sure the boots are a good fit.

Bundgaard Rain Army rubber boots have some barefoot shoe characteristics.
Barefoot shoes are minimalist shoes that give an experience close to walking barefoot with feet still protected from cold and injury. Walking in barefoot shoes strengthens muscles, lets your child’s feet receive sensory feedback from the ground, and provides free movement for the growing feet. Barefoot shoes are the most comfortable shoes your child has ever worn.

They are characterized by:

•  Wide toe box following the natural shape of toes
•  Zero heel-to-toe drop
•  No arch support
•  A flexible and thin sole
•  Lightweight
