Minimalist running sandals made in The Netherlands. FREE shipping in Europe

At Panta Sandals we are passionate about natural movement in general and about minimalist running sandals in particular. We have created a line-up of sandals that we want for ourselves and for our European running friends. We've tried and tested them in ultraruns, marathons and triathlons, but they're great as all-round adventure sandals too.

Since 490 BC refers to ancient Greece, where running messengers held up communication between city states. For us that's where and when Panta Sandals were born.

KIDS SANDALS

Our trademark barefoot slip-on sandals for children


PANTAKIS

Kids sandals for all-round outdoor adventures

The suffix ‘aki’ means ‘little’ in Greek, and that is exactly what the Pantakis are; a smaller simplified children's version of our adult slip-on sandals. Simplified because Pantakis feature a simple buckle and one fixed way to set them up. This is the easiest and most allround set-up. The design is slightly wider because most children have relatively wide feet. 

The Pantakis are flexible barefoot sandals that allow a child’s feet and body to move freely and naturally. They enable a direct sensory connection to the world beneath their feet, they activate their full musculoskeletal system and they...
