Froddo Barefoot Kids Baze School Shoes - Black

Flexible, lightweight barefoot school shoes for children. Designed for nursery and school wear with a uniform-compliant all-black finish and a natural foot-shaped fit.

If you’re looking for barefoot school shoes that meet uniform requirements without compromising on comfort or foot health, Froddo’s Barefoot Kids Baze Shoes in black are a reliable choice. Designed for confident walkers, these everyday shoes support natural movement while standing up to busy school days.

The upper is made from a water-repellent mix of textile and natural leather, offering breathability alongside protection from light rain and damp playground conditions. Inside, a chrome-free leather lining feels soft against the skin, while the flat, removable antibacterial microfibre insole helps keep feet fresh throughout long days at nursery or school.

A flexible rubber outsole with extra grip supports balance and stability without stiffness, allowing feet to flex and move naturally. The zero heel drop and wide, foot-shaped design encourage healthy posture and natural walking patterns as children move between classrooms, playgrounds, and activities.

Designed in a universal medium-width shape, these shoes comfortably fit feet across the width spectrum from narrow to wide. Two adjustable Velcro straps allow for a secure, personalised fit and support independent dressing, while a fabric heel loop makes them easy to pull on and off. The plain black upper and black sole make this style suitable for most school and nursery uniform policies.

Why barefoot shoes for school?

Barefoot shoes allow children’s feet to move naturally while still providing protection during daily wear. With a wide toe box, flexible sole, and flat profile, Froddo barefoot school shoes support balance, coordination, and comfort throughout the school day without restricting growing feet.
