Reima is a Finnish brand with a long heritage in creating practical, well‑designed footwear for active lives. Known internationally for their technical approach and clean Scandinavian styling, Reima bring the same practical thinking to their barefoot shoe range.
At Happy Little Soles, we stock a carefully chosen selection of Reima barefoot shoes that combines lightweight comfort with great durability, and designs that are genuinely easy to wear.
Finnish Design With Barefoot Principles At Heart
Reima’s barefoot line is built around the principles that matter most for natural movement. Their shoes are lightweight, flexible and foot‑shaped, allowing space for toes to move freely while keeping feet protected during daily wear.
Materials are chosen with comfort and breathability in mind, making Reima barefoot shoes particularly well-suited to warmer months and active days. The overall feel is practical rather than fussy, with designs that fit easily into everyday routines.
Origins
Reima was founded in Finland in 1944, shaped from the outset by a culture that values time spent outdoors, resilience, and practical design. From repurposing military workwear after the Second World War to pioneering breathable weather-proof clothing in the early 2000s, the brand has always focused on creating functional outdoor wear. In 2004, Reima turned its full attention to producing outdoor wear for the 0-12 age group, including functional, foot-friendly footwear that encouraged children's natural movement.
In a country where children grow up outdoors, climbing rocks, running through forests and moving freely in all weathers, they knew that it was essential for their footwear to work with the body rather than against it.
The connection to natural movement still runs through Reima today and is clearly reflected in their barefoot shoe range, which draws on their vast experience designing gear for active lives lived close to the ground.
Reima Barefoot Shoes Through the Seasons
Reima are designed for active lives, lived outdoors, across changing seasons.
From lightweight everyday shoes to sandals, water-safe shoes, and wellies, the range is built to support freedom of movement, flexibility and comfort, whatever the weather decides to do next. These are shoes made to be tested thoroughly and worn with gusto.
What's New at Happy Little Soles
This year, we have expanded our range with Reima's new Telmin trainers. Ideal for long days playing outdoors. They have a practical, sturdy look while remaining impressively lightweight and flexible. Made with a breathable, vegan-friendly textile upper, Telmin features a generous toe box, a zero drop sole and elastic laces for kids that just can't wait to get outside.
