Why put children in barefoot shoes?

Barefoot shoes mimic walking barefoot. Well-chosen, properly fitting shoes allow a child’s foot to develop healthily. At the same time, they protect against dirt, bad weather and injury.

1. They give the toes plenty of room
2. They strengthen the feet
3. They let children feel the ground better
4. They help train balance properly
5. They do not hinder development

When should a child wear their first shoes?

Shoes really have just two main functions – to protect a child’s foot from injury and to keep it comfortable when walking.

There is no point in buying shoes for a child who is only just attempting their first steps while cruising along the furniture, or who is still sitting in a pushchair.

When buying first shoes, it is ideal if your little one has been walking around on their own for more than two months, without any support. They no longer hold their arms up for balance and can easily break into a little run.

Froddo is one of the mainstays of our range – and no wonder. Their footwear is popular for its quality, comfort and focus on the environment and ethical production.

The brand offers fits for narrower and wider feet, and all models give the toes plenty of room, which is essential for the healthy development of the feet.

With Froddo you can be sure you are choosing high-quality, comfortable and responsibly made footwear – for children and adults alike.
