Have the Coolest Kids in Town

We’re Young Soles – a British children’s footwear brand blending classic heritage style with a playful, modern twist. Designed in East London and made in Europe, our shoes combine quality craftsmanship that supports natural foot development and long-term foot health. From toddler to junior sizes, each pair is made using responsibly sourced materials and thoughtful design that promotes comfort, movement, and durability.

Inspired by childhood memories, music, and iconic British style movements, we reinvent timeless silhouettes with our own nostalgic twist – always staying true to our ethos of creating footwear that lasts, looks great, and treads a little lighter on the planet.

Each pair is built around how kids actually move: roomy across the toes, cushioned underfoot, and crafted from premium European leather. Whether you’re after everyday kid’s shoes, black school staples, our collection goes beyond trend.

From playful T-Bars to rugged lace-ups, we design shoes they’ll want to wear, not just once, but on repeat. Our sizing runs from toddler to junior (UK 4 to 6.5 / EU 20 to 40), so they’re covered every step of the way. Explore one of the UK’s most thoughtful children’s shoe brands, where heritage style meets real-life durability.

Rooted in the past, made for the future – discover the story behind our brand.
