Froddo Kids' Barefoot Leather School Ankle Boots - Black

Smart, practical, and completely black, these barefoot ankle boots are the perfect school shoes. Designed to meet uniform rules while supporting healthy foot development, the Froddo Barefoot Leather School Boots give children the freedom to move naturally without compromising on comfort or protection.

Made from high-quality natural leather with a chrome-free leather lining, these boots are durable, breathable, and kind to growing feet. The outsole is also black, making the entire shoe uniform-compliant. With a wide toe box, zero-drop profile, and flexible thermo rubber sole, they allow feet to move freely and develop strength, balance, and coordination.

The double Velcro fasteners make mornings easier by giving children independence and ensuring a secure fit. Inside, a removable antibacterial microfibre insole helps keep things fresh throughout the school day. Lightweight and breathable, these boots are designed for long hours of wear in the classroom, the playground, and beyond.

If you are looking for smart, barefoot-friendly school shoes that are fully black and meet even the strictest uniform policies, Froddo Barefoot Leather School Ankle Boots are an excellent choice.

Why barefoot shoes for kids?

Barefoot shoes mimic the feeling of walking without shoes while still offering protection. Unlike traditional school shoes that can squeeze toes or restrict movement, these minimalist boots encourage proper foot function with a wide toe box, zero-drop sole, and flexible outsole. Many podiatrists recommend barefoot shoes as the healthiest option for developing feet.

Materials + ethics

Made in Croatia under fair working conditions, Froddo shoes use responsibly sourced leather and a low-impact European production process. The leather is chrome-free and the insole is antibacterial, reducing harmful chemicals and keeping shoes hygienic. Built to last, these school boots combine quality and sustainability.

Fit + sizing

These barefoot school boots run true to size and feature a universal fit to suit different foot widths. We recommend leaving 10–12mm of growing room. A printable measuring guide is available to help you find the perfect fit.
