Lemonade Footwear takes steps towards a sustainable future

Children's footwear and accessory brand Lemonade Footwear have recently launched a new sustainable collection, 'steps towards a sustainable future'.

Founded in Australia’s coastal haven of Byron Bay, Lemonade Footwear invites playful young hearts to join their climate-active mission with the release of their latest collection. Lemonade Footwear celebrates the joys and challenges of parenthood through this release, a joint effort by two families with five spirited children.

This podiatry approved collection, which hit the market in February 2024 is built to withstand the lifestyles of active kids. Designed for healthy growing feet, crafted using a combination of natural and recycled materials, it offers an authentic reflection of Australian children’s needs. The sustainable collection expresses the carefree spirit and captures the essence of youthfulness through thoughtful designs.

Sandy Trapnell, Creative Director, and Co-founder of Lemonade Footwear emphasises, “Our vision extends beyond footwear; it’s about nurturing confidence, imagination, and self-expression in our children while preserving the planet they’ll inherit. Our new collection is a testament to our commitment to a better future for little feet and the planet, but what truly distinguishes us is our commitment to maintaining an affordable price point, a key element that sets us apart. We believe in positively impacting both little feet and the planet, and our new collection reflects our dedication to providing unmatched value for our customers.”

Featuring an extensive array of sandals and sneakers catering to ages 9 months old to 8 years old, Lemonade Footwear has parents covered right up to the school years. Streamlining those busy morning dressing moments, each pair has convenient Velcro closures. The earthy colours incorporated into the designs ensure versatility, effortlessly complementing various outfits for any occasion.

Designed for long, sun-filled days, ensuring that every step your child takes leaves a positive impact on the environment. This carbon-neutral footwear brand is committed to sustainability. Crafted with 100% natural biodegradable rubber soles and 100% recycled cotton canvas, the shoes stand as a testament to durability and echo a dedication to preserving the environment. Lemonade shoes are built to last, ensuring that they can keep up with even the most adventurous of kids.

Notably the range includes the groundbreaking ‘Tallow’ shoe that can be worn from 9 months old. Providing optimal support for those precious first steps. Boasting a custom-designed 100% natural rubber sole the Tallow ensures durability and comfort acknowledging parents challenges in getting those little feet into shoes.

From the initial design sketches to the final stitches, each pair has undergone extensive product testing by the children who inspired them. The result is footwear that sparks the imagination and stands up to the boundless energy of young explorers.

All shoes in the new collection retail for $49.95 and caps for $24.95, available to shop online now.
