Product Description
Reima Barefoot Shoes – Astelu
Most kids' shoes are stiff, narrow, and restrictive—making it harder for growing feet to move naturally. These barefoot shoes are designed to do the opposite.
The Reima Astelu Barefoot Shoes give kids the freedom to move the way their feet are meant to. With a flexible sole, wide toe box, and zero-drop design, they support natural movement while staying lightweight and breathable for everyday wear.
Why Parents Love It
Natural foot movement – Zero-drop design supports proper posture and balance
Wide toe box – Gives toes room to spread and move freely
Flexible sole – Bends with every step for better ground feel
Lightweight + breathable – Keeps feet comfortable during active days
Easy on/off – Elastic lacing makes getting ready quick and simple
Built for Real Outdoor Use
These are ideal for everyday play, outdoor school, and even indoor use at daycare. The breathable knit upper keeps feet cool, while the flexible sole allows kids to run, climb, and explore without restriction.
Things to Know

Our Story
FOUNDED BY WOMEN. BUILT FOR ADVENTURE.
ODSS was started by mothers who saw firsthand how time outside builds resilient, confident kids. What began as helping outdoor schools equip students for all-weather learning grew into a bigger mission: Help families raise resilient, confident kids by making it easier for children to stay outside longer.
For us, the right gear from ODSS supports what we believe most about childhood. When children are able to be outside every day, in all seasons, they become tenacious, confident, and develop an authentic relationship with the land.
— RAIN OR SHINE SCHOOL
Working with Outdoor School Shop has transformed our outdoor school community. Parents love knowing their children are consistently and reliably equipped—and that nothing is forgotten or comes home covered in mud.
— RANDOLPH SCHOOL
Our students get outside in all temperatures and having the right gear makes a world of difference. @outdoorschoolshop has gear appropriate for all seasons, has a directory to search for nature schools, and layering guides to help families know how to dress children for the weather
— HEMLOCK HILL
At The Thistle and Root, I always recommend ODSS gear for anyone who believes that children grow best through nature—so dress for it.

Ordering bulk with Outdoor School Shop was just as easy and seamless as I had hoped! As we open up a new program, preparing our first group of kiddos for any weather was at the top of our priority list, and ODSS came through with insight, expertise, and the coolest, most dependable gear around! Thank you ODSS!
