Hello! I am a children's
footwear designer with a degree from New York's Fashion Institute
of Technology. I recently returned from 10 years of living in
Europe (Barcelona and Paris), where I worked in marketing and
design in the kid's shoe business.
While living and travelling
extensively in Europe, I saw the most beautiful kids shoes imaginable,
but when I would return home and look for something similar,
I could hardly find anything! When I did find European shoes
in a boutique, they cost $60 or $80, or more. And when I found
shoes for $45, they just weren't the same.
So I decided to do
my own collection priced mostly around $39 - 45, which I gave
the name Sole Sole', loosely translated as "sunny soles."
My shoes are 100% Made
in Italy, home of the world's finest shoe craftsmen.
They have
features including:
* fine
leather uppers and linings - important for breathability
* flexible, cushioned, non-slip soles - great support and comfort
* anatomical footbeds w/ arch support - more support and comfort
* careful finishing and detailing
Here's what some of
my customers are saying:
"These are the
most comfortable shoes I've ever worn - just as comfortable as
sneakers"
-- Amanda, age 9, Coral Springs
"I like the fun
designs on leather - they're really different!"
-- Kristin, age 7, Boca Raton
"Mommy, I want
the Teddy Bear shoes!"
-- Justin, age 4, Coral Gables
I am a professional
fitter and can discuss with you how shoes are made and how to
get a proper fit. I am used to figuring out the right size, even
if the child is not present. Just call or send in his or her
foot measurements (length in inches from back of heel to longest
toe) or a tracing. I know the exact interior dimensions of each
shoe in each size.
I accept returns and
exchanges on new shoes.
There really is
a noticeable difference in design and comfort with European-made
shoes! And these new and unique styles are unlike anything else
you will find in our market, at 40% off the usual prices.
If you have any questions,
please feel free to call or e-mail. I am looking forward to speaking
with you!
