Froddo Barefoot Leather Shoes for Kids | Zeru Spring Shoes - Orange / Blue

Flexible barefoot spring shoes for children, designed to keep feet close to the ground while offering protection, comfort, and durability.

Froddo’s Barefoot Zeru Spring Shoes are designed for children who love to be outdoors, exploring paths, parks, and green spaces as the seasons change. Made for mild spring weather, these barefoot trainers balance softness and protection, allowing children to feel the ground beneath their feet while staying comfortable and supported. They feature a rounder toe box and a slightly narrower sole than other Froddo Barefoot shoes.

The upper combines smooth natural leather in a warm honey brown tone with sky blue water-repellent nubuck, creating a breathable yet protective finish that stands up well to everyday outdoor wear. Inside, a chrome-free leather lining feels soft against the skin, while the flat, removable antibacterial microfibre insole helps keep feet fresh during active days.

A key feature of the Zeru Spring Shoes is the soft, flexible outsole, designed to maximise ground feel. This allows children to sense changes in surface and texture as they walk, supporting balance, coordination, and confidence during outdoor play. The zero heel drop and foot-shaped design encourage natural movement, helping feet work as they should.

Designed in a universal medium width, these shoes comfortably suit narrow, medium, and wide feet. Two adjustable Velcro straps allow the fit to be easily adapted, making them suitable for a wide range of foot shapes and supporting independent dressing. Lightweight and flexible, they’re ideal for springtime days spent moving between home, school, parks, and nature.

Why barefoot shoes for kids?

Barefoot shoes allow children’s feet to move naturally while still providing protection from the elements. With soft, flexible soles and wide toe boxes, Froddo barefoot shoes encourage strong foot muscles, balance, and sensory feedback, helping children stay connected to the ground beneath them as they grow.
