Froddo Barefoot Wooly Kids Shoes – Navy

Froddo Barefoot Wooly Shoes / Slippers – Navy Wool Felt
Wooly barefoot shoes with soft soles for toddlers and young children – perfect as slippers or indoor-outdoor shoes for home, nursery, and play.
If you’re looking for the best kids’ barefoot shoes for indoor and light outdoor use, Froddo’s Wooly shoes in navy are a top choice for little feet that need breathable flexibility and freedom to move. Whether your child is just learning to walk or confidently racing around, these shoes are designed to support healthy development with a natural, foot-shaped fit and temperature-regulating wool felt fabric to keep feet comfortable in any season.
With flexible, soft 4mm rubber soles, a zero-drop profile, and a wide toe box, they encourage natural movement, balance, and coordination to mimic barefoot walking. These are ideal for toddlers, preschoolers, and reception-aged children who benefit from a breathable barefoot-style shoe that easily transitions between indoor to light outdoor use – from home to yard or nursery to playground. They are ultra-lightweight, warm and breathable, making them ideal as slippers or for dry days outside, similar to canvas shoes. Please note: Wooly Shoes are not designed for use in wet or rugged conditions.
Made in Europe from a sustainable blend of 50% recycled wool with Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification and 50% virgin wool felt, with a moisture-wicking and anti-microbial microfibre lining and removable insole, and a 100% natural rubber sole. The breathability and thermoregulating ability of wool felt make these slippers ideal for year-round use, keeping little feet comfortable and at the perfect temperature. The soft rubber sole has just enough grip for indoor or gentle outdoor play, and the Velcro fastening makes for an easy, secure fit.
Whether you’re shopping for indoor slippers or ultra-lightweight outdoor shoes for gentle use, Froddo Wooly Shoes offer the flexibility and breathability little feet need to move as nature intended.
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 a blend of 50% virgin wool and 50% recycled wool with Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification, with 100% natural rubber soles. The microfibre lining is moisture-wicking, antibacterial, and safer for little ones. 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 best for medium to wide feet. Available in EU sizes 22–29, they’re suitable for both toddlers and young children. We recommend leaving 10–12mm of growing room. A printable measuring guide is available to help you find the perfect fit.
