Best known for its “classic” offerings, Footmates uses only the finest materials for its high quality sandals, saddle shoes, english sandals, t-straps, mary-janes and oxfords. Offered from infant US Size 0 through youth US Size 5, Footmates also has an exclusive removable dual insole “Custom Fit System” (CFS) which allows for customized fitting of the shoes to meet the individual needs of children. Mary Jane shoes (sometimes referred to as “doll shoes”) began appearing in the early twentieth century. They were originally named for a character in Richard Outcault’s Sunday comic strip Buster Brown, and in 1904 companies began to market the Mary Jane shoe, based on those worn by Outcault’s eponymous character. The shoe was immediately popular with both boys and girls, though for many the formal and semi-formal Mary Jane has become an enduring and romantic symbol of girlhood. The Harper has already established itself as an instant classic, a fresh take on the classic Mary Jane style. This breathable closed-toe, medium-cut summer shoe utilizes a true buckle closure for a secure fit that’s tough for fussy first-walkers to disengage. The all-leather upper and foot-lining cradles your little one’s feet, making for a surprisingly comfortable walking flat. Durable and practical, the Harper is available in stylish colors including black, black patent, brown, navy blue, apple red, red patent, pink, taupe, creamsicle, and white. The roomy toe box, stable arch support, and breathable leather lining are all engineered with little feet in mind, so your toddler can be comfortable and confident, looking their best on their next walk in the park, at school, and any special occasion.
