Froddo Nina Patent Leather Barefoot Mary Janes — Healthy School Shoes for Girls
Froddo Nina Patent Leather Mary Janes combine classic style with barefoot shoe principles. Their design respects the natural shape of the foot and allows for walking as if barefoot, promoting healthy musculoskeletal development throughout the school day.
Our little ones spend many hours sitting at school, and wearing rigid footwear can be detrimental to their feet. According to data from the Official College of Podiatrists of the Valencian Community, 70% of people will suffer from some foot pathology throughout their lives, with inappropriate footwear being one of the main causes.
Why choose barefoot school shoes?
Healthy footwear allows foot muscles to exercise and strengthen, improves posture, increases sensory experience with the ground, and prevents deformities caused by narrow or heeled shoes. All this under prolonged use conditions such as the school environment.
