What’s So Special About Our Shoes?

Many hours of research and testing, using real children, with a precise method known as “fitting” – go into the design of each shoe to determine the perfect tenderness, firmness, flexibility and strength.

 “First Step” shoes ,for toddlers who are just starting to walk, need certain flexibility, while shoes for older children need specific durability. Each type of shoe is custom designed to be comfortable and resilient for the end-wearer it is intended for. 

Additionally, for the new walker line, special gel pads were developed by the PONPANO team of engineers to ensure perfect shock absorbing quality without compromising on support and comfort.

Each shoe model goes through a thorough testing process of bending, grinding, scratching by machines to test its endurance under different conditions without any compromises.

Which Material is used in our shoes?

We offer a full line of shoes made from special microfiber material, which is the strongest, most durable and highest quality possible for shoes, alongside traditional lines of fine leather shoes.

Microfiber is higher quality than leather in virtually every category – it lasts longer, it breathes better, it feels more comfortable and is more flexible –  and consumers across the world love it!

An additional benefit of microfiber material is that many of the models are  100% vegan, with no animal skins or byproducts used in their manufacturing process.
