Why Parents Choose Dubs for Sensory-Friendly Comfort

Finding the right shoes for an autistic child or a child with sensory processing differences can be tough. Many kids struggle with seams that rub, stiff fabrics, or narrow shapes that make shoes uncomfortable to wear.

Dubs sensory friendly shoes are soft, lightweight, and flexible to support natural movement, giving kids comfort without distractions. The smooth interior helps prevent irritation, while the roomy toe box avoids pinching and pressure on sensitive feet. Our AI-powered sizing means you can get the right fit straight from your phone; no clunky machines, no stressful shoe shop visits, just a quick scan for a size that works.

Parents often tell us Dubs are the first shoes their sensory-seeking or sensory-avoiding kids will happily wear all day. Plus, they’re machine washable, so muddy adventures and playground spills are no big deal, toss them in the wash and they’re fresh again.

Dubs aren’t just sensory shoes for autism or SPD, they’re made for every little legend who needs comfort, softness, and a gentle fit that feels like wearing nothing at all.

Dubs Flex FAQ

What are sensory shoes and how do they help children?

Sensory shoes are designed to minimise irritation and make wearing shoes more comfortable for children with sensory sensitivities, autism, or SPD.

Dubs use soft, flexible materials, a smooth interior, and a spacious toe box to avoid rubbing or pressure points, helping kids feel comfortable and free to move all day.

What features should I look for in sensory-friendly footwear?

Parents often look for shoes that are lightweight, flexible, soft seams inside, and easy to put on and take off.

A wide toe box and breathable, soft materials can make a big difference for children who are sensitive to textures or tight-fitting footwear.

Dubs are designed with all these features in mind.

My kid won’t let a measuring machine near her feet - how do I size Dubs?

Many children dislike having their feet measured in-store, especially the feeling of putting their foot in a clunky measuring guide.

With Dubs, you don’t need it. Our AI-powered sizing tool works straight from your phone.

A quick scan gives you the right size, stress-free.

Are Dubs only for kids with autism or sensory needs?

Not at all.

Dubs are designed for all kids who need soft, comfy trainers that support growing feet.

They just happen to be a great choice for children with autism, SPD, or other sensory sensitivities!

Are sensory shoes suitable for school or everyday wear?

Dubs are made for real life!

School days, playground adventures, weekend outings, and everything in between.

They’re durable, comfortable, and machine washable, making them a practical choice for daily use.

Are Dubs machine washable?

Yes! The Dubs Flex can be machine washed at 30 degrees or hand-wash cycle. The Dubs Glide is more suited for hand-wash.

However, for best results, we recommend hand-washing, with a little soapy water (and an old tooth brush!). It’s quicker, they come up cleaner and it's a little bit kinder to the planet!
