Sole Sole'050

Sole Solé, which essentially means "sunny soles" in a combination of French, Italian, and Spanish, is a mom-owned business offering European kids shoes at American prices. Additionally, owner Valerie Silver offers personalized fitting help with 12 years of experience in children's footwear. Shoe styles can be viewed on the Sole Solé website and help is provided by phone. Sole Solé accepts foot-tracings by fax to further help with fitting needs. Private in-person help is also available by appointment.

The products offered are Italian- or French-made shoes and sandals at 40% less than comparable brands. All shoes feature leather uppers and linings for complete breathability, flexible soles, (especially so in those for new walkers), and anatomical insoles for comfort.

Sole Solé has shoes to fit all kinds of kids' feet, including a nice selection for wide feet. All shoes can be used for dress, casual wear, or play (instead of sneakers). The line specializes in toddlers and preschoolers, with prices of $39-$59.
