Froddo Barefoot Baby Pre-Walker Sandals - Jeans

Soft, flexible barefoot pre-walker sandals for babies and early walkers. Lightweight, breathable, and designed to support natural movement in warm weather.

If you’re looking for baby sandals that offer breathability without sacrificing protection, Froddo’s Barefoot Pre-Walker Sandals in light blue are a brilliant choice. Designed for little feet that are crawling, cruising, or just starting to take first steps, these near full-coverage sandals support natural development while keeping feet cool and comfortable.

With a flexible rubber sole, zero heel drop, and a wide toe box, these barefoot baby sandals allow feet to move, flex, and grip naturally. Small cut-out details across the upper improve airflow on warm days, while the closed-toe design offers reassuring protection for active babies exploring indoors or outdoors.

Made from soft natural leather with a chrome-free leather lining, they are breathable and gentle on sensitive skin. The removable microfibre insole is antibacterial and moisture-wicking, helping to keep feet fresh during summer wear. A new sole design with added grip provides extra confidence for early walkers on smooth or uneven surfaces.

Two adjustable Velcro straps make these sandals especially suitable for babies with a higher instep, while also making them easy to put on and take off. Extremely lightweight and foot-shaped, they closely mimic barefoot walking while offering just enough protection from the ground.

Why barefoot baby shoes?

Barefoot shoes support healthy foot development by allowing babies’ feet to move naturally during crucial early stages. Traditional shoes can restrict movement and reduce sensory feedback, while barefoot designs encourage balance, posture, and strength. Froddo’s pre-walker sandals protect little feet without interfering with how they grow, helping babies build confidence with every step.

Materials & ethics

Made in Europe using responsibly sourced leather, Froddo barefoot shoes use leather from Leather Working Group certified suppliers. This ensures high environmental standards, responsible production processes, and durable quality. The chrome-free lining and natural materials make these sandals a considered choice for babies and the planet.

Fit & sizing

These sandals fit true to size and are suitable for normal to wide baby feet. The double Velcro fastening makes them a particularly good option for babies with a higher instep. We recommend allowing 10 to 12mm of growing room. Use our printable foot measuring guide to help find the right size.
