Kids shoes built for how children actually wear them
PLAE makes shoes for kids who run them into the ground. Every style is designed around three things children genuinely need: a flexible sole that lets the foot move, a closure a child can manage alone, and construction that survives more than one season.
What we make
- Slip-on sneakers (Migi, Elise) for kids learning to dress themselves
- Lace-up and athletic sneakers (Ty, Miles, Roan, Lucien) for everyday and playground wear
- Hi-tops (Max, Leo) for kids who want ankle coverage
- Mary Janes (Emme, Chloe) that go from school to a recital without changing
- Sport sandals and fisherman sandals (Wes, Sam 2.0) with closed-toe protection
- Waterproof boots and shoes (Thandi, Kaiden, Charlie, Noel) for rain, mud and snow
Fit and sizing
Kids sizes run 5 tiny-tots through 4.5 youth. Most styles take our interchangeable tabs, so you can adjust the volume of the shoe to a wide foot, a high instep or an orthotic instead of sizing up the whole shoe. Many styles are machine washable and have removable insoles.
