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.
