There’s something going on with children’s shoes right now as this current crop of good looking kicks are giving us parents a serious case of can-I-have-those-in-my size-itis aka Shoe Envy.
On a recent tour of press launches I was introduced to Plae, a kids shoes brand from the US offering up supportive, protective and flexible footwear for growing feet that’s bright, fun and customisable. And as if that were not already ticking all the boxes on our kids shoe checklist, Plae shoes are responsibly produced, eco-friendly and machine-washable.
So when it comes to shoes that are practical and fun, rejoice as Plae have just launched their UK website.
All shoes, Plae
With a background as an Ex-Puma and Adidas Designer, it’s no wonder that Plae’s Head Designer has worked with the kind of technology that is usually used for top athletes to create shoes for little ones who – as any mum knows – put enough stress on their shoes to rival that of Usain Bolt.
With print, colour and metallics as well as plain black and white for school, Plae have all bases covered.
Personalise their shoes with multiple straps which also come in different widths to accommodate more sizes.
