Frugi ’Cape Stretch’ Kids’ Leather School Boots - Black

Looking for a school shoe that does it all? These black leather boots are soft, flexible and smart. Made from chrome free leather with a wide toe box, a flexible sole and a splash of Frugi colour.

At Babipur, we know how hard it is to find one pair of shoes that ticks all the boxes. Comfy enough for play, smart enough for school and supportive enough for growing feet. That’s exactly why we love the Frugi Cape Stretch Lace Boot. It’s an everyday all rounder designed for movement, independence and style.

Made from breathable chrome free leather with a roomy toe box and a flexible sole, these high tops support natural movement and feel soft from the very first wear. The stretch lace front and Velcro strap make them quick and easy to get on and off, while the back pull loop gives a little extra help. Smart black leather keeps things school uniform friendly and the rainbow eyelets add a subtle Frugi twist.

Whether your child is heading to school, a birthday party or running wild at the weekend, these boots are built to support their feet every step of the way.

Here’s what makes them a great choice

• Wide toe box for natural movement
• Zero-drop; no elevation difference between the heel and forefoot, keeping the foot in its natural position
• Chrome free leather inside and out
• Flexible sole with toe bumper for protection
• Easy on and off with stretch laces and Velcro strap
• Smart enough for school, soft enough for growing feet
• Subtle Frugi colour details

Inside, the boots are fully lined with soft breathable leather to keep feet comfortable all day. The sole is flexible enough to support movement and tough enough for everyday wear. While not a barefoot shoe, the design allows feet to spread and move more naturally than most standard high street school shoes.

It’s not easy to find a school shoe that does it all. These boots are soft, spacious and breathable with a smart look and a fun twist. A brilliant all rounder that works for uniforms, playtime and everything in between. They support healthy foot development and feel just as good as they look.
