Our story began in 1946, when a small group of shoemakers started a workshop that would grow into Ivančica Company. Today, after 80 years of tradition and skill, that workshop has become a company with more than 600 employees. We produce only Froddo shoes and export them to over 50 countries worldwide. This long heritage shapes everything we do.
In our AW2026/27 collection, we offer more than 700 models. Each design combines comfort, functionality, and simple details. This collection celebrates nature, our heritage, and the spirit of exploration.
Our love of the mountains inspires the new Autumn/Winter 2026/27 collection. We drew inspiration from their strength and simple, natural beauty. Ideas for new models rise from the foothills of Ivančica, the iconic mountain that stands above our hometown.
The AW 2026/27 collection brings together comfort, safety, and freedom of movement.
We also introduce a brand-new outsole – Barefoot UP – that we made in-house. Its ultra-flexible, rounded shape gives all toes more room, especially the little toe. The grip pattern takes inspiration from the Ivančica mountain, with larger ridges that provide stronger traction.
The colour palette follows the warm mood of autumn. Greens, browns, and deep blues bring the calm of nature into every pair. The Barefoot collection offers new styles, including ones for light hiking. No matter the trail or activity, each shoe gives children the support they need to move with confidence.
The collection offers a broad selection of shoes in sizes 18 to 42, including barefoot styles and a women’s line.
Let's discover the latest additions from our Barefoot and standard ranges.
Our Barefoot line follows the core ideas of barefoot shoes. Every barefoot model has a wide toe box, an extra flexible outsole, zero heel drop, and a flat insole. These features help feet move in a natural way and support healthy growth.
We also offer models for all types of feet:
The highlight of this season’s Barefoot collection is our well-known models, now updated with a new, slightly wider Lifolit sole. This sole gives even more freedom and flexibility with each step.
Existing barefoot favorites come in new shades that match the warm tones of AW 2026/27, with a focus on brown and green. We also added fun patterns and shiny materials, such as flowers, hearts, dinosaurs, leopard, and more.
Light, soft materials and a flexible design help children move freely and let their feet grow strong.
The well-known Prewalkers now feature a soft and durable nubuck leather upper that is easy to maintain. The protective front part is made mostly from soft leather with a PU finish, making it more durable.
Prewalkers are lightweight, with a rubber outsole that is extra flexible and slip-resistant. We recommend them for indoor use or for non-walkers riding in strollers.
Two versions are available:
The leather version has an antibacterial insole that is removable. This makes it easy to check your child’s size and keep the shoe fresh.
The winter version adds a cozy lining and insole made from natural sheepskin fur for extra warmth and comfort.
Maly model is similar to the First Step shoe but features a toe bumper for extra protection. It has two hook-and-loop straps, a chrome-free tanned leather lining, and a removable insole. It sits on our new outsole.
It is a good choice for first steps and for feet where the toes are almost the same length. Made from water-repellent nubuck, it is an ideal shoe for the transitional season. The look is more sporty than the First Step model, and it comes in sizes 20–26.
The Maly model with laces includes a side zipper for easy on and off. It also has reflective details for better visibility, just like the hook-and-loop version.
Loop High-Tops model keeps the trusted Barefoot fit and adds more seasonal comfort.
It now comes with two hook-and-loop straps for an easy fit, a soft leather lining, and warm autumn colours. Built on the familiar Zeru last, it brings the same natural feel with a look made for cooler days.
It has a slightly narrower fit compared to models on our well-known Extra Grip outsole and the new outsole (Barefoot UP) introduced this season. Even with its slimmer shape, the round toe box still gives plenty of space for natural movement and healthy toe growth. This model is available in sizes 20-35.
Loop Boot is a new, water-repellent model perfect for mild, changeable weather. The soft faux fur on the outside gives them a stylish, cozy look.
Inside, they have a textile lining that keeps feet warm and comfortable throughout the day.
Just like the Loop model, Zeru is part of our slimmer barefoot range (S-M fit). It comes as a sneaker and an ankle boot for autumn, both with hook-and-loop fasteners.
There is also a winter ankle boot with a furry lining, and a high boot with two hook-and-loop straps and a wool lining.
For those who prefer laces, we offer the Zeru Cosy model with flexible laces and fasteners, as well as a high boot with a zipper.
The Zeru line is very broad, covering all foot sizes—from the tiniest up to size 42.
The F-motion TEX model has two hook-and-loop straps and comes in around twenty colours. The range includes classic shades like dark blue and pink, as well as eye-catching colours such as red, bright blue, yellow, and violet.
It is made from suede with a water-repellent upper for easy care and a TEX membrane that keeps feet dry. The model sits on our Extra Grip outsole for strong traction and stability in all weather.
The F-Motion model comes in two easy options. The first has hook-and-loop straps for kids and is available in sizes 23–35.
On the other hand, F-Motion Laces is made for bigger kids and women. It is available in sizes 31–42. Both versions feature new autumn-ready colors.
The beloved TEX Autumn model remains the bestseller of the collection. It is made from a combination of velour and textile with a hydrophobic upper part. The TEX membrane keeps the ankle boot waterproof for up to 2 hours.
This model continues to be a favorite among parents and little ones.
Other bestsellers from previous seasons we would love to single out are:
The Barefoot UP line moves to a new, rounder outsole — Barefoot UP outsole. It is slightly wider and gives all toes more space, not just the big toe. The ridges on the sole are larger than on the regular Barefoot Extra Grip sole.
These shoes are ideal for children with higher insteps. They also fit women and adults who need more volume in their shoes. Thanks to this extra space, they are a good choice for colder winters and thicker winter socks.
The designs take inspiration from our beloved Ivančica mountain and its nature that shapes our hometown. All Barefoot UP shoes have a removable insole and a waterproof TEX membrane.
Now, let’s take a closer look at all the models in the UP collection.
The UP Hill TEX model has a textile lining, while the UP Hill Wool model has a warm wool lining. Both models are waterproof and available in sizes 23–42.
The UP TEX Snow Wool model has a reinforced front. It is mostly soft leather with a PU finish, making it stronger and more durable. The model also has reflective details and reflective laces.
There are two new additions to the UP line:
The UP Trail TEX comes in sizes 31–42 and has a textile lining. The UP Path TEX model comes in sizes 25–42 and is available with textile or wool lining. The laces on this model are reflective.
Both boots have reflective details and a reinforced front. They are ideal for all outdoor activities and light hiking.
Let’s check the differences.
Other models from the UP collection are:
All these models are perfect for city walks and other outdoor activities, designed with both kids and women in mind.
Slippers and canvas shoes are perfect for children who want comfort at home, in kindergarten, or at school.
The collection features Wooly models, made with 50% recycled wool and GRS-certified materials. These soft, washable slippers come in a variety of styles for every little foot.
The Regular collection keeps comfort and safety at its heart.
This season, autumn tones dominate the palette. Browns, greens, blues, and deep reds set a warm, natural mood. For little girls, some models feature a fun leopard print.
Each shoe is designed to support children in all their activities. From playground games to light outdoor adventures, these models combine style, durability, and ease of wear.
Well-known models like Rosario, Aster, Ollie, and Paix Up remain part of the Regular collection. They come in new shades and prints that will delight both boys and girls.
Browns, warm reds, and other earthy tones lead the way this season. In this group, you can choose models with a leather lining or a textile lining.
The Ollie Lumi model now comes in fresh new colors. We added light pink and dark blue outsole shades, joining last season’s neon orange and neon pink options.
The model is available with a textile lining or a warm wool lining.
Our classic wool-lined or sheepskin fur models for the little ones — Ollie, Ollie Lumi, Paix UP, and Basco TEX — remain part of the winter collection. This season, they come in fresh new shades and patterns.
The Pulse TEX line continues to be a part of the regular collection. You can choose ankle boots for boys and girls with a textile lining, perfect for mild winter days. There is also a high boot with a star pattern for girls. It’s a cozy model with wool lining that keeps feet warm and comfortable.
The AW 2026/27 collection reflects our love of nature and the mountains that guide our work.
Guided by market feedback, we expanded our Barefoot line this season to offer a complete and versatile collection. It now covers all foot widths and shapes, all occasions and seasons, and is suitable for both kids and women.
The expansion also marks our way of celebrating 80 years of craftsmanship. We used nature-inspired colors, patterns, and flexible designs that support healthy foot growth.
As we celebrate eight decades of expertise at our parent company, Ivančica d.d., we remain committed to comfort, quality, and environmental care.
