Detailed Review
Vivobarefoot is not only creating shoes that allow adults to experience movement with freedom in the great outdoors. The brand is also creating freeing, minimalist footwear for little adventurers, like the Vivobarefoot Ultra Bloom for Kids.
Made from Bloom Algae
Appropriately named, the Ultra Bloom footwear for kids is made from 10% Bloom algae that has been blended with EVA foam. The algae is more sustainable compared to other materials and is a great natural alternative to synthetic and petrochemical EVA foam.
Durability & Grip
The patented blend has produced footwear foam that’s both durable and flexible. Right out the box, plenty of users mentioned that their kids were able to wear the shoes, with no reports of blistering. Many have also expressed that the shoe held up no matter how active their children were while outside.
When it comes to grip, it was designed to supply traction on any terrain. However, the outsole works best when on the beach as it was more commonly used as a water shoe by users. There were some who observed that the grip was reliable on dry ground but, based on other reviews and the outsole’s design, it may not be ideal for frolicking on mud.
Design & Usage
As mentioned, plenty of feedback online stated that the ultra bloom kids shoe was commonly used at the beach. These reviewers were happy to share that their little ones no longer needed to wear flip-flops while enjoying the sea and the sand. It is also quick-drying, a handy feature when moving in and out of the water.
On the other hand, it may not be the best option while hiking or playing on the playground. Because of its design, tiny rocks, debris, wood, and dirt can easily get inside, which can make the child uncomfortable.
Fit
The majority of reviews mentioned that the ultra bloom kids’ shoe fits true to size. Although the fit will still depend on the child’s foot shape, it is suggested that the best option would be to go with the usual sizing for shoes.
