Classy enough to shine at formal events – from family pictures to Sunday school to tea parties and beyond – and versatile enough to wear to a regular day at school or trip to the mall, our customers love that they don’t have to compromise on quality with these on-trend Mary Janes that look stunning with every outfit.

Features

Teaching kids how to put on their own shoes is an essential milestone for growing up and gaining independence, but it definitely comes with a learning curve. How many times has your child ended up with their shoes on the wrong feet?

To help make learning how to put on the right shoes easier, we designed a clever heart-shaped stamp that gives children a simple visual reminder each time they put on their shoes. The way the heart stamp works is simple:

  1. The heart stamp is located on the inner side of each shoe.

  2. Have your child make sure that the matching hearts on each shoe touch every time they put on their shoes. If the hearts touch, they’ve got their shoes on the correct feet! If the hearts don’t touch, your child will know they need to fix them.

  3. That’s all! Super easy. 

Full-grain leather. Reinforced heel for comfort. Silver hardware. Memory gel insoles. Stitched vegetable-tanned leather soles. Rubber slip guard. Artisan handcrafted.

Sustainability

Our leather is responsibly sourced from our award-winning tannery. Each piece of leather is hand-cut and handcrafted by artisans that partner with us to provide you with the most authentic artisan-made low carbon footprint products.

A note about sizing...

A note about sizing… measure twice, pay once! Please measure before you buy! Our sizes run differently than what your child may currently be using, so the best thing is to measure. Do not size up, our boots already include extra space for socks and growth.

Please note that we no longer offer one free size exchange for children's shoes and boots (free size exchange is only for adult shoes). Always measure first with socks and then refer to our size chart for the best fit.

How we make them

A craftsman cuts the leather by hand, choosing the leather carefully and making sure that he follows the grain of the leather, his expert eye tells him the best way to cut each piece. He then sews each piece with accuracy and exactness only seasoned cobblers have mastered. Each upper body is placed then in the shoe form and with skilled and strength, the master cobbler dresses the form and prepares it to attach the leather sole. The soles are then layered, one on top of another, he then cuts and sands the leather to perfection. Once the glue is dry the leather Artisan then carefully builds-up the finish with an expert’s eye, and touch, to achieve an aged patina in just the right places to reflect the aged qualities only time, wear, and frequent care could have accomplished naturally.
