Frugi ‘Tide Low Top’ Kids’ Leather Shoes – Penguin Blue
Bright and colourful, just like your little one – these low top leather kids’ shoes feature a roomy toe box, flexible sole and vibrant Velcro straps. A comfy everyday shoe with Frugi flair.
At Babipur, we love kids’ shoes that support movement and independence, and the Frugi Tide Low Top Shoes ticks all the boxes. Made from breathable chrome-free leather inside and out, these sneakers are soft, supportive and designed for everyday adventure.
The wide toe box and flexible sole encourage natural movement, great for running, climbing, and playing. Two orange Velcro straps make them super easy for kids to get on and off themselves, with a back heel loop for an extra helping hand. The playful penguin print and orange inner lining add serious Frugi energy,  ideal for little explorers who love to stand out.
Whether they’re heading off on a nature walk, scooting to school, or dressing up for a birthday party, these versatile shoes offer the perfect mix of fun, flexibility and function.
Here’s what makes them a great choice:

Wide toe box for wiggle room
Zero-drop; no elevation difference between the heel and forefoot, keeping the foot in its natural position
Soft chrome-free leather inside and out
Two Velcro straps for easy on/off
Flexible sole with toe bumper
Bright Frugi colours and a penguin design
Ideal for play, school, or special days

Inside, they’re fully leather-lined for breathability, helping to keep feet fresh and comfy throughout the day. The flexible sole is durable enough for active use, while the toe bumper helps protect against scuffs and scrapes. While not officially barefoot, the Tide Low Top offers a generous fit and lightweight feel that allows for natural movement.
Why we love them at Babipur
They’re fun, flexible and fabulously bright – these are the shoes kids want to wear. With a better fit for growing feet and that signature Frugi colour magic, they’re the perfect mix of practicality and personality.
