About Naturino

Naturino, founded in 1974 in Italy, is a premium children’s footwear brand known for combining Italian craftsmanship with foot health innovation. In the 1980s, it launched its signature "Sand Effect" system to mimic natural walking on sand—supporting healthy foot development. Through the 1990s and 2000s, Naturino expanded globally and became a go-to brand for pediatricians and parents seeking high-quality shoes for growing feet. Today, Naturino continues to focus on style, comfort, and orthopedic support, offering expertly crafted shoes made with fine materials and produced mainly in Europe.

The Sand Effect System 

Did you know that the best shoes are those you don’t wear? The best thing you can do to ensure the correct development of your children’s feet is to let them walk barefoot on sand. The Sand Effect system is a soft support that recreates the natural feeling of walking on sea sand and provides the best support for growing feet. The Sand Effect system ensures just the right support to feet on rough and irregular ground, since it moulds easily under the weight of the body. The Sand Effect system, soft upper and light flexible bottoms, create the perfect and natural conditions in any situation.
