Froddo Kids' Leather Barefoot Shoes - Blue+

Flexible, lightweight barefoot shoes for children. Designed for everyday wear with a natural fit, water-repellent leather, and excellent grip.

If you’re looking for versatile barefoot kids' shoes that can handle busy days, Froddo’s Barefoot Baze Shoes in dark blue are a practical and well-designed option. Suitable for confident walkers and active children, these shoes support natural movement while offering durability and comfort all day.

Designed with a wide, foot-shaped toe box, zero heel drop, and an extremely flexible sole, they allow children’s feet to move and develop naturally. The lightweight Lifolit® Extra-Grip sole provides improved grip without stiffness, helping support balance and stability whether children are walking, running, or climbing.

The upper is made from water-repellent leather, offering protection against light rain and damp conditions while remaining breathable. Inside, a chrome-free leather lining feels soft against the skin, and the flat, removable microfibre insole is antibacterial and helps keep feet fresh throughout the day.

These barefoot shoes are suitable for all foot widths, making them a great everyday choice for a wide range of children. Lightweight yet protective, they work well for school days, nursery, and outdoor play without restricting natural foot movement.

Why barefoot shoes for kids?

Barefoot shoes support healthy foot development by allowing children to walk as naturally as possible. Traditional shoes can restrict toes, alter posture, and reduce sensory feedback. Barefoot designs like Froddo’s Base Shoes encourage balance, coordination, and strength by letting feet flex, spread, and respond to the ground beneath them.

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 long-lasting quality. The chrome-free lining and considered materials make these shoes a thoughtful choice for growing feet and the planet.

Fit & sizing

These shoes fit true to size and are suitable for all foot widths. Designed for confident walkers and older children, we recommend allowing 10 to 12mm of growing room. Use our printable foot measuring guide to help find the right size.
