Why Gogsig is different from other brands
When parents choose shoes for their children, it shouldn't just be about design – for us it's about the child's development, comfort and well-being. At Gogsig, we have a clear philosophy: children should have the freedom to move, play and grow without restrictions and artificial support. This is exactly where we differ from most other brands. You also teach your child to walk and balance barefoot, right??! ;-)
Barefoot shoes with a focus on freedom of movement
Most children's shoes on the market are built with stiff soles, elevated heels and extra support - all of which make it difficult for the child to sense, feel and strengthen the body naturally.
At Gogsig we believe the opposite: Children learn best to use their feet and strengthen their bodies, naturally. Our shoes are designed with Zero Drop , Flexible soles, Wide toe box, Thin sole, No unnecessary support, such as fixed heel cap and arch support, and no elevated heel. – so the child can move freely and develop strength and balance on their own terms.
We design shoes that are suitable for all seasons – from the softest sneakers to warm winter boots. What's special is that functionality never compromises comfort: the shoes keep little feet warm and dry, but still free to move. This gives the child a natural gait, regardless of temperature and surface.
Quality, production and durability
At Gogsig we don't compromise on materials. Our shoes are produced and hand-sewn in Portugal by skilled craftsmen, and we only select materials that can withstand children's active everyday lives.
An important difference is that our shoes are based on the barefoot principle . Because barefoot shoes do not permanently shape to one child's footprint, the shoes can easily be passed down or sold on - without compromising comfort and fit for the next child. This makes Gogsig a conscious choice where quality and functionality live on.
Knowledge and reassurance for parents
We know that many parents may have doubts about barefoot shoes, and that is why we place great emphasis on information . With us you can always ask questions - both general and if you experience challenges with your child. We work closely with skilled physiotherapists, so we can forward your questions to professionals who will guide you correctly. That way, you are never alone in the process, but you get security and professional advice included in the purchase.
Our vision is about more than shoes. It's about giving children the opportunity to explore the world naturally, build their confidence through free movement, and create memories without limits.
✨ In short: Gogsig is not just another shoe brand. We are a choice that supports your child's natural development, creates security for you as a parent and delivers quality that lasts - both physically and in the values behind it!
We are the SHOES your child won't want to take off!
