Discover the upgraded Kid's Vitality III barefoot shoes, now with enhanced nylon buckles and elastic laces for superior grip, slip-resistance, and comfort.
Our machine-washable shoes are made with durable materials that can withstand a gentle wash cycle. To preserve their quality and ensure proper cleaning, follow these steps:
Pre-Wash: Remove the laces and insoles.
Placement: Put the shoes in a delicate wash bag (a pillowcase works too).
Washing Cycle: Use cold water with mild detergent on a gentle cycle.
Drying: Shake off excess water and air dry—avoid using a dryer.
Tip: The shoes will regain their original shape after one or two wears.
Non-Machine-Washable Shoes
For shoes that are not machine washable, gentle hand-cleaning is recommended to protect the materials and ensure longevity. Follow these steps:
Surface Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the surface.
Hand Washing: Mix a little warm water with mild detergent, and gently scrub the shoes with a soft brush.
Wipe Down: Use a damp cloth to wipe away any excess cleaning solution.
Drying: Remove the insoles and air dry the shoes at room temperature—avoid direct sunlight and radiators.
Note: Some materials, such as canvas or faux leather, may lose their shape or get damaged if machine washed.

Thank you for taking the time to share this experience. We most sincerely apologize for the disappointment you and your child experienced while wearing Kid's Vitality III, and we completely understand that this is both aggravating and unacceptable to you, especially when the shoes are failing after only the second wear.
Saguaro has always been committed to providing children with a healthy, natural and comfortable barefoot shoe experience, and we have always maintained strict quality control during the manufacturing process. But this time, we clearly failed to do so. Kids are active and we know that the durability of our shoes is critical, so we are very sorry to hear about the situation you experienced. We have referred your feedback to our quality management team for follow-up.
Our Customer Service Specialist has contacted you via email to provide further assistance.
Thank you very much for your criticism, which is not only a reminder, but also a spur for us. We are continuing to optimize the choice of materials and structural design of children's shoes, and we will more strictly control every process to avoid similar problems from happening again.
We hope that in the future, we will still have the opportunity to provide you and your family with a more enjoyable and reassuring wearing experience. Again, we apologize to you and your children for this experience.
This is my second review for these shoes. It has not been a week yet since we got them on the post and the velcro has broken already. Super bad quality please avoid. Also the company has not reached to me yet with a response after i contacted them via email and submitted the first review. Hence after my experience I can say this company is not serious and they don't care about customers.
Got these for my daughter to wear indoor at school. She tends to walk on her tiptoes and unfortunately they didn't hold up. Tares on both shoes. Disappointed

Unfortunately after only a couple weeks of use, they are falling apart. We really liked the feel of them (they do run a bit small so use the size chart). But the quality is very bad.

Solidly good grip and comfy and looks decent. So far Velcro is holding up
One size smaller, thus had to ask for exchange, which was well organised and smoothly. Except I am still waiting for refund of shipping costs, it’s been a month.
Our little boy loves his new shoes keeps them by his bed puts them on upon waking.
He has wide feet and these accommodate his feet without being bulky making them perfect for trail running something he loves to do.
The size doesn't match the length of the shoe, it expected to have shoes larger. Last year I bought two pairs of saguaro shoes for kids in 26 and 28 sizes, and this year I have bought one more pair, in 27. But the received shoes despite the size written on the shoes, actual size is 26, not 27. Shoe length match the one bought last year. Disappointed.
Store owner replied:
Hi there, thank you for your kind words about our customer service team, and for your honest feedback about the fit. We're truly sorry to hear that the shoe felt too small for you. It's helpful to know that you found the sizing runs small on this particular model—even with the same labeled size, the fit can vary slightly between different shoe designs due to their unique shape and materials.
We've noted your comment about the sizing perception for this model, and we'll make sure it's passed along to our product team for their reference. This kind of feedback is really valuable as we continue to work on our sizing guidance.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're glad our team was responsive, and we appreciate you giving our shoes a try.
I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting for a return label. I feel that the forms wouldn’t let me finish them so I emailed y’all back to let you know and this day I still have not been sent a return label and now it might be too late for me to return which is a crap I want my 9 1/2 women’s and you could have these back. I don’t have kids and I’m not a kid.. I am not kidding about getting no response back. It’s really making me very very angry. You would think that people there would know to do that. I’ve emailed !
I emailed and emailed and sent me back emails but nothing about the return label. Is the first reason and only reason I was emailing y’all was for the return. Please get this taken care of for me,
Thank,
Chauntel Booth
Beautiful shoes! My 6 year old wild child has been wearing these hard and rough for two weeks, they still look brand new. He says they’re very comfortable and they look cool. Highly recommend.
This is the 3rd order where the shoes are incorrectly sized. We hav been using Saguaro for over a year with no issues but this has happened now 3 times in a row. Definitely something going wrong in the factory.
Ordered these for my son and he absolutely loves them! Very easy to put on and take off and a light shoe. Quick to dry after he plays in water which is great. I have the adult version and he loves that we match. Would recommend.
Toller Schuh, preiswert und damit für schnell wachsende Kinder Füße bestens geeignet. Außerdem guter verschluss für die Kids, geht leicht und schnell. Absolut empfehlenswert. Achja, umtausch war per Mail zwar auf englisch aber auch problemlos möglich.
The shoes are wonderful! My son is very happy with the fit and feel and I’m thankful for such great customer service that replaced the previous pair that were working properly. I would recommend Saguaro shoes to anyone! Thanks again!

Thank you for choosing Saguaro and sharing your feedback with us about Kid's Vitality III.
We are sorry to learn that you received your item in a smaller size than expected, and please allow us to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you and your child's wearing experience.
Kid's Vitality III is one of our barefoot shoes designed for children's daily activities and natural foot development. The shoe has an overall snug fit, especially in the instep and toe area, with a more wraparound construction to provide good flexibility and ground sensation.
However, we also realize that sizing tolerance in children's shoes is much lower and a slight tightness may affect comfort, especially during the growing foot stage.
We are currently reevaluating and optimizing our sizing recommendations for the Kid's Vitality III, and we appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention.
In addition, we recommend that when you shop for children's shoes in the future, try to choose in accordance with the actual length of your child's foot + 0.8 to 1.2cm of reserved space, in order to adapt to the foot activity and growth space.
Thank you again for your understanding and trust, your feedback is very important for us to continue to improve the product experience. We look forward to the opportunity to provide your family with a more comfortable barefoot shoe experience in the future.
This shoe is smaller than the previous model we bought even though they are both the same size EU25, not as good as other models.
Sizing was incorrect - the size 25 ordered was actually smaller than the size 24.
However I have ordered previously and found the shoe to be lovely, light and flexible for my little one's feet. They've also held up well against day to day wear.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback regarding Kid's Vitality III sizing and for recognizing the comfort and design of our shoes. We apologize for the inconvenience to you and your baby. Regarding the issue that you received a size 25 shoe that was smaller than a size 24, this really shouldn't have happened and we will immediately check with our quality control department to verify the sizing of the relevant batch.
Our Customer Service Specialist has contacted you via email to provide you with further assistance. We value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide you and your baby with better service. Thank you again for your understanding and support!
