Key features
- Zero-drop sole for natural posture and alignment
- 6mm Vibram ultra-thin sole for maximum ground-feel

Why barefoot for kids?
Summer is the perfect time for barefoot freedom. Thin-soled sandals let children 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 for healthy development.

Sizing & Fit
Size range: EU 27-35
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.
Materials & Care
- Upper: Chrome-free natural leather
- Sole: 6mm Vibram rubber
- Closure: Straps
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.

Not Sure of Your Size? Start Here
Barefoot shoe sizing works differently from standard high-street brands. Measuring your feet in centimetres is the essential first step to getting the right fit.
The Wall & Paper Method
A simple 5-step process you can do at home with just a piece of paper, a pencil, and a ruler.
Room to Move
Adults need 0.8–1.2cm of space; kids need 0.8–1.5cm of growing room beyond their foot length.
Width Matters
Barefoot shoes have wide toe boxes, but width fitting is just as important as length for comfort.
