Finding barefoot shoes that kids actually want to wear isn’t always easy – but Naw, a new barefoot brand from the San Sebastián city in Spain, is changing that. With a fun, modern design and a focus on natural movement, Naw is built for active kids who play hard and love color. Their barefoot sneakers for kids fill a gap in the market for sporty, flexible footwear that still meets barefoot standards. We tested both of their current models – the Ehuna Fly and Mud Trail – and here’s what we found.

Our Impressions
Naw Ehuna Fly
The Ehuna Fly is Naw’s take on a modern running shoe – but made barefoot-friendly. It has a knit mesh upper that’s soft, breathable, and ideal for dry days. The colors are absolutely stunning – from bright and playful to more neutral tones – our kids were instantly excited to try them on.
- Kids loved the modern look and comfort
- Sole is zero drop with moderate cushioning
- Surprisingly flexible in both directions
- Visual toe spring is present off-foot but flattens when worn
- Lightweight, with no insole
- Easy to put on, even for smaller kids
Overall: A perfect barefoot sneaker for kids for school, play, and warm, dry days in nature.
Naw Mud Trail
The Mud Trail is Naw’s more rugged, waterproof option – built for outdoor adventures, light hiking, and messy weather. With a deeper tread and more structured feel, it offers great grip while still staying true to barefoot principles.
- Fully waterproof (we tested it under running water and it stayed completely dry!)
- Removable insole included
- Slightly stiffer than Ehuna Fly, but still flexible
- Lower volume fit – works best for slim feet
- Available in two colors: blue and purple
Best for: forest kindergartens, trail walks, and rainy-day play.

Final Thoughts
We’re always excited to see new barefoot brands emerge – especially ones that cater to kids with both function and style. Naw has made a strong first impression with two well-designed models that meet the needs of active families.
If your child has narrow to average feet and wants a shoe that looks like what their friends wear (but feels way better), Naw is a fantastic option. The Ehuna Fly is a breathable, everyday barefoot sneaker for kids that’s perfect for dry days, while the Mud Trail brings waterproof performance to muddy trails and wet weather. We’re curious to see what Naw creates next – and we’re definitely hoping for adult sizes in the future!
