The zero-drop design and wide toe box support natural foot growth and strength.

• Zero-drop sole for natural posture and alignment

• Wide toe box allowing natural toe splay

• No artificial arch support or reinforced heels
• Ankle boot design for extra coverage
• Designed with orthopedic surgeons for healthy foot development

Why barefoot for kids?

Children's feet are still developing. Barefoot shoes with thin soles let them feel the ground and build body awareness, while a wide toe box allows toes to spread naturally. This builds stronger foot muscles and better balance, setting the foundation for healthy movement for life.

Specifications

Size range: EU 22-30

Froddo barefoot shoes fit true to size with a generous wide toe box. Always measure your child's feet before ordering, as kids' feet grow quickly.

Powered by the BarefootBrit Fit System™ — for children's barefoot shoes, we recommend allowing 15-18mm growing room from the longest toe to the end of the insole. Not sure of your child's measurements? See our foot measuring guide for step-by-step instructions.

• Upper: Chrome-free natural leather
• Sole: Thin flexible rubber (up to 5mm)
• Closure: Velcro

Brush off loose dirt after each wear. Wipe with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple. Air dry at room temperature only — do not machine wash, tumble dry, or place on radiators. Stuff with newspaper to maintain shape while drying.
