About Poco Nido

We'd better introduce ourselves:

We are an award winning UK Baby and children’s footwear brand. We produce barefoot friendly baby shoes and childrens shoes that are simple and functional, nestling inside packaging that does more than one job.

Poco Nido was founded in August 2011, in the UK by Catherine Lobley, footwear designer and mother of two. Our journey began when, tired of the identikit leather pull ons available, Catherine decided to go in search of an alternative. When this alternative was nowhere to be found, Catherine decided to produce it herself.

The Mini Shoe was born....Followed by the Mighty Shoe.

We don't buy into convention or commercial, we like quirky and different. We don't follow the trends, what you see comes straight out of our heads. Our products are the result of years of overseas travel, countless children's bedtime stories, a love of pattern, symmetry, a hatred of over packaging, a passion for up-cycling, a little girls over pronation problem and frustration with fastenings.

We believe in paying our factories a fair price for our products.

Over the years Poco Nido has grown and shrunk, at one point we had 6 distributors worldwide - Kuwait, Taiwan, Chile, China, Hong Kong and Israel. We had an office in Ireland and an office in Singapore. We were nominated for the German design award 2019, won a bronze and silver at the junior awards two years in a row and scooped the best in class at the Smallish awards three years running. We've sold over 1.5 million pairs of mini and mighty shoes, wellies and sneakers. 

BUT currently we're pared back and concentrating on the UK for the immediate future.
