Family Activities

At Happy Little Soles, we love sharing real adventures from real people — and this time, it’s a little closer to home! Our newlywed team member, Emma Cubbon, has kindly handed over the keyboard to her husband, Neil Cubbon. In this blog, Neil takes us along as he puts the Vivobarefoot Men's Tracker Forest ESC Boots through their paces on two incredible hikes: the rugged beauty of the Bavarian Alps and the rolling landscapes of Moel Famau.

When it comes to dressing up for special occasions, parents want their kids to look stylish, but comfort is just as important—especially when those occasions involve long hours of standing, dancing, or playing. For events like Christmas parties, birthdays, and family gatherings, kids barefoot party shoes are the perfect solution, offering a harmonious blend of elegance and comfort. These shoes not only look great, but also support healthy foot development, making them an excellent choice for children’s party footwear.

Our lovely colleague Emma recently treated herself and her husband to a pair of cosy, colourful Solmate socks. Keen to test them out, they packed their new socks for a birthday trip to Ledbury—and discovered firsthand just how much warmth, comfort, and character these vibrant socks can bring to an adventure.

The festive season is here, bringing with it magical moments filled with family traditions, seasonal joy, and plenty of outdoor adventures. One of the best ways to embrace the holidays is by heading out for a Christmas Day walk—whether you're exploring frosty fields, strolling through town, or taking in the stunning views of the winter landscape. To ensure your feet are ready for any adventure, complete your Christmas look with a cosy pair of barefoot shoes or boots from Happy Little Soles. And when the walk is over, slip into your Christmas pyjamas and enjoy the warmth of our slipper socks and slippers for the perfect holiday season evening.

At Happy Little Soles, we pride ourselves on our excellent customer service and free returns, giving customers the chance to find the best barefoot shoes for them. We spend a lot of time talking to everyone but as an online business we don't always get to meet our customers in person. We decided it was time to change this and host a barefoot try on event!

We had the best time at the Parentfolk Summer Sessions at The Yard Hampshire at the weekend. With lots for little ones and their parents it was a fun filled event for all the family. We introduced those that don't know us to barefoot shoes and we were able to catch up with some of our long term customers.
