It all started one day when four parents, friends, dreamers and constant seekers of the perfect children’s shoes found ourselves facing the same problem: where to find comfortable, healthy and beautiful barefoot shoes for our children?

We searched for the perfect barefoot shoes, but only found options that were either too expensive or impractical. Then we asked ourselves: "Why not make them ourselves?" So we combined our ideas, knowledge and children’s energy to create Gekko – shoes for free and playful steps!
