Minnow Designs

Designed in Australia by Aussie Mums, our range of waterproof shoes were created to ‘fill the gaps’ in a parents life. We generate our shoe construction from scratch, with the issues we’ve had with our own children’s shoes in mind. Our first range of fun, bright swimmable water booties were dreamed up after a disappointing search for toddler-appropriate aqua shoes turned up ugly, uncomfortable shoes made of shoddy materials that were ironically too heavy and cumbersome to swim in. They let in water, created drag and our kids hated them. Other parents & kids clearly felt the same way as our first range sold out within weeks and each year since 2016, we’ve increased sizes and products available in line with customer feedback.

Our second range, the Minnow ROAMII sandal was designed to be the ultimate play shoe. Super lightweight, waterproof, easy for little hands to put on and pull off, and (this might be the best bit) machine washable. Like our water play shoe, they have no bits that rub and are made of thick, plush neoprene that’s so soft they can be napped in. Reflecting a fun, outdoor Australian aesthetic, our shoes come in a range of designer prints and colourways that kids and parents all around the world love.
