Soles With Soul
Every new PaperKrane collection arrives with a fanfare of colour, and Spring/Summer 2026 is no different. Bold prints, playful energy, happy vibes - and feet that can really move.
This season's collection is built on a redesigned outsole, offering a wider, more foot-shaped fit and a grippier tread for improved slip resistance. PaperKrane's signature barefoot qualities are all present and correct: zero-drop, ultra-lightweight, flexible, and designed to support natural foot movement from your very first step.
Here's what's new.
Checker These Out
Two takes on the same idea. Paperkrane have created a beautifully shaped barefoot trainer built for all-day play, made from premium suede with cotton print and deliciously soft terry cotton lining.
Chequered Joy is a happy dance on your feet: vibrant colours, cheeky checks, a pure pop of joy.
Funky Checks pushes it further with earthy tones and a more urban edge. If you're choosing between the two, we don't envy you - we genuinely couldn't pick. And we're thrilled to say both are available in adult sizes.

Spray it With Style
Graffiti is for the kids who have strong opinions about what they put on their feet - find us one that doesn't!
This vegan-friendly cotton Graffiti print has genuine streetwear energy without trying too hard. Built on PaperKrane's iconic zebra sole, updated this season with a wider, squarer toe box for an even better barefoot fit.

Available in both high-top and slip-on versions, Graffiti has to be a strong contender for favourite shoe of the summer.

Purple Power
Purple Love brings colour into the collection in the best possible way. Purple is having a real moment in children's fashion right now, and PaperKrane have done it properly - a colour rich enough to feel special, wearable enough for every day.
Made from canvas and suede with a retro basketball look that gives little feet a big edge, the cute heart decal makes this barefoot boot equal parts cool and sweet.
Walk on the Wild Side
Two bold styles, one untamed vibe. Cheetah prints are here to stay.
Cheetah Mary Jane is your girlypop option, a soft suede ballerina with a sturdy elasticated strap, perfect for occasions when you want something with personality but still pulled-together. Light, flexible, and not going anywhere.

Cheetah velcro trainer is the everyday hero: easy on, easy off, and stylish enough to go with everything. Built on PaperKrane's new wider sole with an improved foot-shaped toe box and 8mm total stack height, this is a barefoot shoe that really delivers.

Vegan Shoes for the Win
PaperKrane's vegan range has been growing steadily, and the quality of their vegan leather alternative is something we're always happy to talk about. Certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and Recycled Claim Standard (RCS), it's made from recycled synthetic materials with no PLAs or forever chemicals. Ethical, aware, and built to the same high standard as their other ranges.
PaperKrane's Biro school shoe has been a firm favourite for a while, and this season it gets a vegan-friendly version, which is genuinely good news for a lot of families. Everything that made the original brilliant is updated for 2026: an improved foot-shaped toe box and wider, lightweight, flexible sole, and a clean, school-appropriate styling, now available for your little vegan.
