Kids Shoe Designer: Pablosky

Lila Ballerina / Pink Croc Ballerina / Blue Loafer/ Blue Loafer with Bow

I have always relied on Clark shoes as the to go shoe shop for kids to wear to school. However as a parent I am always on the look out for other brands with the same quality or even better than whatever my current favourite brand at the time might be. One of the brands that I have recently discovered is a Spanish Designer - Pablosky.

Pablosky has been manufacturing children´s shoes for over 30 years in the Spanish town of Toledo. They have become experts in children´s fashion as well as knowing what a child needs.

I bought my daughter's first school shoes about a year ago and the way the shoes has passed the test of time was shocking to me. The price tag is of the same region as most well known retailers for kids shoes. One of the retailers that stock Pablosky is Spartoo.

Money Saving and Buying Tips on Kids School Shoes

As most parents like myself would always say I am forever grateful for the Internet, especially when it comes to doing the weekly or monthly food shopping, buying kids related things ranging from clothes to toys and anything else in between.

Let's take school shoes for example. When it comes to shopping for my children's shoes, I normally go to Clarks at my local shopping centre based at Stevenage. Usually I ordered online and then I would have to visit my local to ensure that the shoes I have purchased are of actual fit on my children's feet. Apart from Clarks, I also make use Kickers and Spartoo online store for special offers - their sales section is worth checking out too.

However, when I am in London I also visits the Clark Factory Shop based at Seven Sisters Road. The full address is 67-83 Seven Sisters Road Holloway, London N7 6BU, Telephone no is 020 7281 9364.

I also discovered another shoe factory when shopping during Christmas of 2012.

Clark Factory Shop based at Hatfield - 3 The Galleria, Comet Way, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, AL10 0XR. Telephone no is 01707 276 485.


It's good for buying childrens shoes for school or for everyday wear. You would be surprised that some footwear that are on sale at full price in Clarks or John Lewis store would be on sale at the factory outlet for £15 to £20 less. The store itself is covered in stacked of shelves and can be a bit chaotic at times and even more so during the back to school period. So early shopping is strongly advised.

The worst time to go is between August and September due to back to school rush.

So next time you happen to be in London or Hatfield, it's worth checking out.

If I was ask to describe the two tone boat shoes by Paul Smith, I would describe it as sunshine on my feet simply because of the dark orange colour. The design is nautical inspired and it would be an ideal alternative to sandals and trainers.
