Froddo Barefoot Kids’ Alex School Shoes – Black
Barefoot leather school shoes for children – lightweight, breathable, and designed for natural movement throughout the school day.
If you’re looking for comfortable, smart barefoot school shoes that support healthy foot development, the Froddo Alex Shoes in black are a perfect choice. Handmade in Croatia from premium LWG-certified leather, these minimalist kids’ school shoes combine traditional design with barefoot flexibility, giving little feet the freedom to grow and move naturally.
The ultra-flexible TR rubber sole provides excellent grip, stability, and ground feedback. A wide toe box ensures plenty of space for toes to spread, while the zero-drop design promotes balance and a natural posture. Soft leather uppers and lining create a breathable environment for all-day wear, and the removable antibacterial microfiber insole keeps feet fresh. With easy double Velcro straps, these school shoes are quick for children to fasten independently.
Made using responsibly sourced leather from Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified suppliers, Froddo Alex shoes are produced in Croatia under fair working conditions with an emphasis on sustainability and durability. These lightweight, flexible barefoot school shoes are ideal for daily wear, combining a smart uniform-friendly look with true barefoot comfort.
Why barefoot school shoes?
Barefoot shoes mimic the natural feeling of walking without shoes, but with protection. Traditional school shoes can restrict movement and affect posture, while Froddo’s barefoot design allows feet to develop strength, balance, and coordination.
