What we love about these barefoot shoes:

• Wide toe box
• Flat and flexible outsole
• Warm winter shoe made of high-quality materials
• Low shoe weight and very comfortable on the foot - like being barefoot even in the middle of winter!

Fit and size advice:

• Width: Suitable for a narrow to wide foot
• Volume: Suitable for a low to high foot. This model has slightly more volume than other models from Froddo and is also suitable for a higher instep.
• Size: True to size - slightly on the larger side in length. Follow the size chart.

On-the-foot feel:

• This shoe is made from exceptionally soft and comfortable materials. As part of the UP collection, it offers noticeably more space than many other Froddo shoes – for example, compared to the Tex Track Wool model. Elliot, age 3, has high and regular-width feet, and this model fits him really well. His foot is 15.5 cm long, and size 26 (17 cm) fits him well. He can easily put them on and take them off by himself, and they stay on perfectly – even when he's running and jumping around. Maria, age 4, has low-volume, narrow feet, and for her, this model feels too roomy. We tried with wool socks, but the shoes were still too loose. She didn’t feel confident running in them and wanted to take them off. Her foot is also 15.5 cm long, and size 26 (17 cm) is right in length, but the overall fit is too spacious for her foot shape.

Temperature:

• Suitable for both warm and cold winter days as the wool wicks away moisture if the feet get warm. For the coldest winter days, complement with a wool sock or merino wool sock if the child easily gets cold feet or often stands still outdoors.

Care instructions:

• The shoes have a water-repellent TEX membrane. However, this membrane should not be compared with a rubber boot in water tightness. We recommend treating with a water-repellent spray to maintain the shoes' water-repellent properties. The shoes are easy to keep clean – wipe off dirt as needed with a damp cloth. Note: Do not dry shoes with a TEX membrane in a heat cabinet.

Froddo shoes are made in Croatia under strict European regulations concerning safety, health, and quality. The materials are carefully selected to be both durable and long-lasting.
