Barefoot football boots are futsal shoes designed to respect the natural shape of the foot: a wide toe box, a thin and flexible sole, zero drop and nothing that squeezes or bends the toes out of shape during play. Amunt is the Feroz version: the first indoor football boot built on barefoot principles, designed specifically for growing feet.
Between the ages of 4 and 14, the foot is still forming. A stiff boot with a narrow toe box can condition that development. Amunt does exactly the opposite.
Made for growing feet.
Those who tried them felt the difference
Zero drop is the most important feature. A sole with a heel-to-toe drop forces a chain of compensating postures: ankle, knee, hip. With zero drop, the foot works in its natural position and proprioception (the feel of the ground) improves, which translates directly into better ball control.
Microfibre upper:
Light, resistant to wear on indoor courts and easy to clean. It isn't leather, so there's no breaking-in period and it doesn't harden with use.
Non-slip rubber sole.
Non-marking grip on the court. It balances flexion so the boot bends exactly where the foot bends, not where the manufacturer decides.
Coolmax® insole.
Moisture-management technology. It keeps the foot dry throughout training, reduces friction and protects the skin in long sessions.
Double fastening system.
Laces with a Velcro flap. Once the size is adjusted, children can put them on and take them off by themselves in seconds.
Sizing a barefoot football boot works differently from a street shoe. With barefoot shoes you look for a snugger fit than for everyday wear, because the foot shouldn't slide around inside the boot during play. At the same time, the toes need room to spread.
Rule of thumb: measure the bare foot (from the heel to the tip of the longest toe) and add 5 to 8 mm. That is the inner sole length you need.
Check the Feroz size guide for the exact match between foot length in millimetres and Amunt size. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.
The last is true to standard European sizing. If your child wears a 32 in conventional trainers, order a 32 in Amunt. The difference is the width: the toe box is wider, so wide feet or long toes will feel much more comfortable than in a conventional boot of the same size.
We don't recommend it. With too much room at the heel and toe, the foot moves inside the boot and ball control suffers. Amunt is designed for a precise fit.
Amunt is approved for indoor courts and smooth concrete (futsal, five-a-side). It isn't designed for natural or artificial grass, which need a different stud pattern.
The Amunt sole is just thick enough to protect against wear on indoor courts without adding unnecessary stiffness. Protection in futsal shoes doesn't come from sole thickness but from the quality of the rubber and the grip. Amunt uses a non-slip rubber made for indoor use that meets both needs.
Yes, there may be an adaptation period of 2 to 3 weeks if your child has worn shoes with a lot of drop and cushioning for years. It's usual to start wearing them for training rather than matches until the foot gets used to them. Most children, especially the youngest, adapt quickly because their muscles haven't yet picked up postural habits.
Amunt's microfibre resists wear and doesn't lose its shape with use. It doesn't harden like cheap synthetic leather. The parts of any futsal boot that wear the most are the toe (from braking) and the side of the sole. Amunt is reinforced in those areas.
Amunt sits in the mid-to-high range of the kids' futsal boot market. The difference is in what's included: a Coolmax® insole, technical microfibre, a barefoot last developed specifically for growing feet and the backing of a brand specialised in barefoot shoes since 2016. A conventional entry-level boot at €25 has none of these.
Amunt features in Revista del Calzado, one of the leading footwear industry publications in Spain. The article highlights the barefoot design of the boot, its anatomical last and Feroz's commitment to respecting the natural movement of the foot while it grows.
Recognition that barefoot shoes also have a place on the court.
The same points come up again and again in positive reviews:
Negative reviews usually focus on a single point: size. Some buyers order the same size as in other boots without measuring the foot and end up too short. That's why it's important to follow the size guide before buying.
If you're not sure whether Amunt is the right boot for your child's foot, the Feroz directory of podiatrists specialised in barefoot shoes lists professionals who can advise you in minutes.
Amunt is available in sizes 28 to 38. Measure the foot, check the size guide and order with confidence: if the size isn't right, Feroz handles the exchange with no fuss.
