When I started Lofty Little, my goal was simple: to create beautiful, well-fitting shoes for girls and teens with larger feet, shoes that look and feel their age.
What began as research has turned into real progress. After months of searching, comparing, and learning, I’ve finally found the right manufacturing partner. Together, we’re now working on the first shoe last, the base that defines shape, comfort, and size.
This moment feels like the first step of many. It’s where an idea becomes something you can actually wear.
But creating shoes isn’t just about sketches. I’m also learning about materials, mobility, packaging, logistics, and every detail that helps our shoes reach your home. We want our boxes to be reusable, sustainable, and too pretty to throw away, labels that make sense, and a delivery process that’s smooth and reliable.
Behind the scenes, I’m refining our brand identity too, colours, stories, and style that represent what we stands for: confidence, comfort, and growing beautifully at your own pace.
It’s an exciting (and sometimes overwhelming!) mix of creativity and coordination, but seeing it all come together is the most rewarding feeling.
Thank you to every mum, teen, and young woman who’s joined the Feet Squad or supported this journey.
You’re the reason I’m doing this, and I can’t wait to show you the first prototype soon.
