Our Difference Our in-house design process combines international trends with the latest technology to create exclusive and innovative footwear ranges for each of our customers, which include children's leather and synthetic, ladies slippers and school shoes for all ages. We are in the early development stages of introducing ladies leather footwear as well as men’s slippers to our range. We have 3 Naxos CAD stations which enables us to digitise our own standards and grade them thus providing a shorter production turnaround time. All our leather children's styles are developed with this same criteria and include benefits such as breathable leather uppers; flexible, lightweight, non-slip soling; room for growth; soft underfoot cushioning; nickel-free components and adjustable straps or laces for optimum fit and ease of use. The bones in children’s feet are soft whilst growing - podiatry research found that many children's feet are being permanently deformed by wearing poorly designed and badly fitting footwear. We however create our own unique and exclusive lasts and soles that conform to the attributes required by the podiatry association for healthy growing feet, yet still maintaining a fashionable appeal. Our material development and testing, fit approvals and wear trials form an integral part of our development process. We are members of SAFLIA and SAFLEC and SEDEX Audited and approved.
COMFORT, QUALITY AND DURABILITY
are at the heart of every shoe we make!
