Good-To-Grow design

Every single pair of our children’s shoes and sandals is designed to expand and adjust as your child grows. With our shoes and boots, we achieve this through our game-changing "Good-to-Grow" midsole: a hidden layer that can be removed to add an extra half size of growing room to the shoe. Our kids’ sandals feature adjustable straps which allow them to adjust and grow as they grow.

Built to last

The materials we use have to deliver on quality, longevity and recyclability and are tested to the highest international standards. We use premium, chrome-free leathers - Gold certified by the Leather Working Group - which are incredibly durable and very breathable. All of our outsoles are natural rubber, chosen because it’s lightweight, biodegradable and extremely hardwearing. All metals are nickel-free and contain no nasty chemicals.

Recycled packaging

Our packaging is recycled and recyclable, or fully compostable. Even our shoeboxes have a use beyond their primary purpose… A little suitcase for them to take on their next adventure.

Unisex and timeless

All our shoes are gender neutral. Creating unisex kids’ footwear also feeds right back into our primary mission to make it more sustainable, because it means there are also no limitations in terms of who you can pass our shoes on to when you’re done. Our designs are created with longevity in mind. We are not about passing trends, our aim is to strike the balance of classic and cool, that doesn't date and goes with everything.
