Fit, Family, Fun
Footling is the inspiration of two ordinary parents who thought other parents shared their need for good quality children’s shoes provided with service and convenience. We’re not a faceless multinational. We’re just a family business based in the community in London and Nottingham. We walk the same streets as you; our children attend the same schools as yours; we know what it’s like to be a parent in 21st Century Britain.
We didn't want to spend time queuing in crowded shoe shops for a limited choice of school shoes. Neither did our children. We guessed other parents might feel the same. We decided there had to be a better way. We thought really hard about what that way might look like, then founded Footling to make it happen.
"Shoes from the best specialists in children’s shoes in continental Europe"
Our emphasis is on professionally fitted high quality shoes. That’s why we provide shoes from the best specialists in children’s shoes in continental Europe. We choose shoes we’d love for our own children, designed for comfort, style and strength, and made from the materials that are best for young feet. And it’s why we train our shoe fitters at the Society of Shoe Fitters, which has been promoting foot health and supporting shoe-fitting best practice for nearly 50 years.
"Professionally fitted high quality shoes"
We don’t believe well-fitting shoes are a luxury. We believe they’re essential for the healthy development of children’s feet. And we want to make it easier for parents to provide that for their children.
