Why have we engineered barefoot school shoes? Why is it so important? Quite honestly, having your child barefoot IS best. That is the simple answer, but unfortunately, the modern day life we live does not lend itself to being barefoot all day long. Kids need protection, some sort of armour to get them through their school day efficiently and as comfortably as possible. As a parent, you want what is best for your child, but life is expensive and barefoot technology is more expensive than regular school shoes. With children spending approximately 200 days a year in school and up to 8 hours a day in school shoes, it's crucial to consider the impact of their footwear before permanent damage follows them into adulthood.
By investing in a pair of Froggie barefoot school shoes, you're giving your child the gift of:
- Natural Movement: Barefoot school shoes allow for the most natural movement possible, which strengthens foot muscles.
- Improved Balance: The more barefoot you are, the more balance and proprioception you will have.
- Better Posture: It promotes better posture and alignment
- Reduced foot problems: It can helps prevent or alleviate issues like plantar fasciitis and toe deformities in adulthood.
FROGGIE BAREFFOOT SCHOOL SHOE key features:
- WIDE TOE BOX for freedom of toes to develop naturally, reducing foot problems in adulthood.
- FLEXIBLE SOLE for natural foot movement. Our completely flexi sole is thin with zero heel drop but it is also tough and protective.
- GENUINE LEATHER for longevity and breathability
- REMOVABLE GEL FOOTBED is so easy to wipe clean and look after. We have a range of shoe care to help. click here for the range.
The Froggie Barefoot engineering and designing began 15 years ago when the need for spacious, flexible school shoes was desperate. We worked with a local podiatrist who uncovered the link between ridged, tight school shoes and the growing number of adults she was seeing with problematic feet. The fact is children have soft, pliable cartilage in their toes until they reach physical maturity around 18. The cartilage gradually ossifies (hardens into bone) as they grow and develop. If you think about it, most of their day they were forced into thick ridged sole shoes that pinch their toes. It was no wonder we were seeing such problematic feet in adults.

Froggie Barefoot school shoes are in such high demand, with parents realising the importance of incorporating barefoot technology into their children’s footwear. We have also seen a need for barefoot technology in adults, so we have developed a Barefoot sneaker for men and women that you can wear with full confidence knowing that you are emulating barefoot movement.
