Froddo Barefoot F-Motion Tex Petroleum Ankle Boots

Froddo Barefoot F-Motion Tex Petroleum Ankle Boots | Boy´smand Girl´s Winter Barefoot Ankle Boots

The Froddo Barefoot F-Motion Tex Petroleum are winter Barefoot ankle boots for boys and girls, designed to provide comfort, protection, and freedom of movement during the coldest months.

They are made of water-repellent natural split leather, featuring vegetable-tanned natural leather, and incorporate the Froddo TEX membrane, designed to provide greater protection against moisture during everyday use. They are a practical choice for winter, cold days, wet ground, and everyday outdoor activities.

Its wide toe box provides enough space for the toes to settle in and move naturally. The sole has a zero drop—no height difference between the heel and toe—which promotes a stride that is more respectful of the foot’s anatomy.

The Lifolit® outsole is thin, flexible in both bending and twisting, and offers excellent traction for safety on various surfaces. Furthermore, because it is a flexible outsole, it better accommodates the foot’s natural movement than a conventional stiff boot.

They do not have rigid shanks, and the upper is flexible, so they do not unnecessarily restrict ankle movement. The removable antibacterial insole facilitates hygiene inside the shoe and allows it to air out after use.

The double-strap Velcro closure allows for a better fit and makes it easier for children to put on and take off their shoes on their own.

With an actual weight of 202 g in size 27—as measured by us—these are lightweight, functional, and comfortable winter Barefoot ankle boots for everyday wear.

Recommended Use

The Froddo Barefoot F-Motion Tex Petroleum are recommended for everyday use in winter, at school, on walks, at the park, and on cold or wet days.

Thanks to the water-repellent split leather and the Froddo TEX membrane, they offer protection against moisture and light rain. They are not a substitute for rain boots, nor are they designed to be worn in puddles or during prolonged, heavy rain.

Foot type and choice of size

To choose the right size, we recommend always checking the model’s internal measurement guide and allowing enough room so your toes can move comfortably.

When it comes to winter ankle boots, it’s also important to consider the thickness of the socks you’ll be wearing.

• We recommend adding between 8 mm and 1 cm to the length of the foot.
• We recommend adding at least 2 mm to the width of the foot.

Care and Cleaning

Let any stains dry before cleaning them.

Once dry, remove any dirt with a brush suitable for suede, split leather, or nubuck.

To best preserve the finish of the split leather, it is recommended that you always brush it gently while it is dry.

Do not rinse the ankle boots under running water.

Do not submerge in water.

Do not machine wash.

Always let it air dry, away from radiators, hair dryers, heaters, or other direct sources of heat.

Excessive heat can damage the leather and also alter the properties of the Froddo TEX membrane.

To provide better protection against moisture, you can use a protective spray specifically designed for suede, split leather, or nubuck—always suitable for shoes with a membrane.

Remove the insole after use if it is damp inside, and let it air out separately.
