Hopfrög Kids introduced the “KidzQuaRd” children’s shoe, which won the “Innovation Award 2024” at the Kind & Jugend 2024 Fair in Germany. Made from recycled sailcloth, the shoe is equipped with a QR code child tracking system that aims to prevent children from getting lost. “KidzQuaRd”, which attracts great attention with its environmentally friendly and functional features, will be on the market at the end of 2025.
Hopfrög Kids provides innovative safety with “KidzQuaRd”
Hopfrög Kids, one of the well-known brands in the children’s shoe industry, focuses on upcycled materials and technology in the design of the “KidzQuaRd” shoe, offering a combination of child safety and comfort. The most striking feature of this award-winning shoe is the QR code child tracking system. When a child goes missing, it becomes possible to reach parents quickly in case of emergency. Thanks to the QR code, lost children can be traced not only to their parents but also to their health information, so that the right intervention can be made in emergencies.
Environmentally friendly and ergonomic design
The “KidzQuaRd” children’s shoe is not only safe, but also eco-friendly. The upper of the shoe is made of recycled sailcloth, while the inner lining is made of fully recycled cotton, which changes color when wet and thus notifies the parent that the child is sweating and allows the child to move freely in comfort. This provides an environmentally friendly and healthy option. The shoe’s ergonomic design supports children’s natural foot development while providing comfort in daily activities.
3F (Feel, Fit, Flex) Barefoot Design
“KidzQuaRd” is specially developed for little feet with 3F Barefoot design. The “Feel” feature ensures that the shoe is lightweight and that children feel natural with every step. The “Fit” feature supports children’s natural foot development with its wide toe box, while the “Flex” feature allows children to move their feet freely.
