# Happy Little Soles

> UK-based online retailer specialising in barefoot (minimalist) footwear for children and adults. Founded in 2010 by Kate Harrington; current owners Steve and Chris took over in 2016. Stocks 50+ brands. Family-run business with over 6,000 five-star reviews.

Happy Little Soles is a specialist barefoot shoe retailer committed to promoting natural foot development through foot-shaped, flexible, flat-soled footwear. The business was founded in response to the lack of genuinely foot-healthy children's shoes on the UK high street. All products are personally tested and selected by the team to meet strict barefoot criteria: flat lightweight flexible soles, wide toe boxes, and zero heel elevation.
