Froddo Barefoot Ballerina Shoes - Baby Pre-Walker T-Bar Shoes | White

Soft, flexible barefoot pre-walker shoes for babies and early walkers. Lightweight, foot-shaped, and designed to support natural movement from crawling to first steps.

If you’re looking for first shoes for babies, Froddo’s Barefoot Pre-Walker Ballerina shoes in white are a beautiful and practical choice. Designed for little feet that are just beginning to explore the world, these T-bar style pumps offer light protection while allowing feet to move and develop naturally.

With a flexible rubber sole, zero heel drop, and a wide toe box, these barefoot baby shoes support balance, coordination, and healthy foot development from the very start. The extremely lightweight design mimics barefoot walking, helping babies grip, flex, and feel the ground beneath them while staying protected indoors or on gentle outdoor surfaces.

Made from natural leather with a chrome-free leather lining, they are breathable and kind to sensitive skin. The removable microfibre insole is antibacterial and moisture-wicking, helping to keep little feet fresh throughout the day. An updated sole design with added grip gives extra confidence for early cruisers and first independent steps, while the Velcro T-bar fastening makes them easy to put on and adjust.

These Froddo pre-walkers are ideal for babies who are crawling, cruising, or just starting to walk, and are especially well suited to normal and wide feet.

Why barefoot baby shoes?

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

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 a focus on long-lasting quality. 

Fit & sizing

These shoes fit true to size and are suitable for normal to wide baby feet. Designed for pre-walkers and early walkers, we recommend allowing 10 to 12mm of growing room. Use our printable foot measuring guide to help find the right size.
