Kids are busy, especially in the early years. Climbing on the playground, running around the backyard, with shoes that end up muddy, bent or mysteriously falling apart only after a couple of months. Finding footwear that can keep up with their active lifestyle can seem impossible. 

That's why so many Australian parents are turning to Plae Shoes. They're durable, comfy, easy to get on, and built for real kids who are out there really living! These shoes survive daycare days, weekend adventures and everything in between.

The reasons why parents are obsessed with Plae Shoes

As a parent with a child who’s constantly in and out of shoes, you already know the struggle. Some pairs fall apart after just a couple of playground sessions, others never quite fit right, and then there are the ones that are impossibly hard to get on when you’re rushing out the door - causing the dreaded morning meltdown!

It's no wonder parents rave about Plae Shoes. They’re built for active kids who climb, run, scoot, jump and tumble through life. We've carefully thought through every design, ensuring each style ticks all the boxes for parents and kids alike. 

Plae Shoes slip on easily (thanks to Velcro and flexible openings), they’re super breathable, and most importantly, they’re super comfortable, so kids forget they are even wearing them. They're the type of shoe that parents keep recommending because they last, and children are happy to wear them without putting up a fight.
