Why barefoot for kids?

Children's feet have over 200,000 nerve endings. Thin soles let them feel the ground and develop body awareness, while a wide toe box allows toes to spread naturally. Barefoot shoes build stronger foot muscles and better balance from the start, setting the foundation for healthy movement for life.

Specifications

Size range: EU 24-30

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: Ultra-thin flexible rubber
• 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.
