As a mom, I started this shoe company because I simply could not find the right shoes for my two sons. I wanted something that was strong enough for all day-wear, and stylish enough to match their big personalities. Too often, I had to choose between durability, quality, and design. I watched my children run, explore, fall, get back up, and chase their big little dreams but I could not find the shoes to support that. We went through pair after pair of shoes that would last maybe a few months. It wasn't until I was recently looking for shoes with my youngest and decided to create what I couldn't find: shoes made from my heart, built for real life, and designed to carry our little ones into their next adventure. I am excited you are here and hope you love the designs of GKTreads as much as I do!
