Froddo Barefoot Leather Shoes / Ankle Boots - TEX Kids Pink & Grey
Barefoot leather ankle boots for young children - warm, water-repellent, and made for everyday adventures.
If you're looking for the best barefoot ankle boots for kids, Froddo’s TEX Autumn Shoes in pink and grey are a great choice for little feet that need freedom to move and grow. These barefoot high-top boots are ideal for autumn and winter thanks to the innovative water-resistant TEX membrane and extra grip soles for racing around the playground. They are designed to support healthy development with a natural, foot-shaped fit.
With flexible soles, a zero-drop profile, and a wide toe box, they encourage natural movement, balance, and coordination from pre-school to early school years. They have a thin 5mm sole made from thermo rubber with a 1mm lug, providing extra grip on wet or slippery surfaces, making them suitable for the autumn and winter term. The removable microfibre insole helps keep things fresh, with anti-microbial and moisture-wicking properties.
Made in Europe using Terracare® water-repellent nubuck leather and synthetic mesh upper, and a water-resistant textile lining, they’re breathable, kind to skin, and designed to last. The double Velcro straps are great for encouraging independence and making morning routines easier. Lightweight and protective, they’re also smart enough for most school uniform policies.
If you’re shopping for a pair of barefoot-friendly boots that are water and weather-resistant, Froddo Barefoot TEX Autumn shoes offer comfort, flexibility, and everyday practicality.
Why barefoot shoes for kids?
Barefoot shoes mimic the feeling of walking without shoes - but with protection. Traditional shoes can restrict toes, reduce sensory input, and affect posture. These minimalist shoes for children are different: they support proper foot function, balance, and posture by letting feet move freely.
They're recommended by many podiatrists as the healthiest option for developing feet, especially for toddlers and young children.
Materials + ethics
Made in Croatia using Terracare® leather from responsible sources, Froddo shoes are part of a low-impact production process. The TEX water-resistant lining is a PFC-free PU membrane that forms a breathable moisture barrier. Every pair is made under fair working conditions in Europe, built to last and made with care.
Fit + sizing
These shoes run true to size and are adjustable to suit different foot widths. They are available in EU sizes 25–36. We recommend leaving 10–12mm of growing room. A printable measuring guide is available to help you find the perfect fit.
Why we love them at Babipur
We love these as a go-to barefoot boot for autumn and winter - flexible, warm, and designed with little explorers in mind.
