Sizes 35 to 40 are junior territory. Feet grow by leaps and bounds, opinions on style even faster, and footwear has to keep up with both. Be Lenka junior barefoot shoes combine healthy movement with a design teenagers like to wear. Voluntarily and without being reminded.
Who are sizes 35 to 40 for?
As a rough guide, for children and youth from nine to fifteen years old, though in practice the age boundaries blur here. Sizes 35 to 40 overlap with adult ones, so alongside this category juniors also choose from the adult range. Girls with a size 36 foot and up will find further models in women’s barefoot shoes, boys from size 40 in men’s barefoot shoes. The selection thus widens with every size instead of narrowing.
A style teenagers like to wear
At this age, design decides, and that’s how it should be. Shoes a junior likes get worn, and shoes that get worn can help. The junior range therefore builds on modern silhouettes, clean lines and bolder pieces that stand up before the strictest jury in the world: the classmates. The barefoot principles, meanwhile, stay hidden inside. Nobody notices anything, the foot feels everything.
The foot in its most important growth phase
Puberty brings growth spurts during which the foot can grow by a whole size in a few months. At the same time, it’s the last period when the foot’s development can be significantly supported. Tight fashionable footwear at this age does damage that’s hard to repair later. Barefoot shoes give the growing foot space and the muscles work, so it enters adulthood strong and healthy. Be Lenka makes no concessions with the junior models: the same materials, the same testing over thousands of steps, the same honesty as with the whole collection.
Shoes for sport, clubs and the first date
A junior’s week is packed. School, training, clubs, weekend events with friends. The flexible sole and spacious toe box suit every one of these activities, from sprinting for the bus to hours spent standing at the skatepark. And when an occasion that matters comes along, the more elegant models handle that too. One category, a whole teenage life.
When to move from junior to women’s or men’s models?
+ -When the size allows it and the design appeals. Functionally the models are equal; the barefoot principles apply to all age categories alike. Girls commonly move to women’s models from size 36, boys to men’s from size 40. Feel free to combine both ranges according to where the junior finds their pair.
Does a teenager’s foot still grow fast?
+ -Yes, and unevenly. Growth spurts in puberty can enlarge the foot by a whole size in a few months, then a pause follows. So measure the foot before every purchase and check regularly that the toes aren’t hitting the toe box. Teenagers often overlook tight footwear until it starts to hurt.
Do junior models differ from adult ones?
+ -In principles no, in execution slightly. The cuts are adapted to the slimmer junior foot and the design to more playful preferences. The quality of materials, our own sole compounds and the testing are identical to the adult collection. So the junior gets fully-fledged barefoot footwear, just tailored exactly to their age.
