Celebrating over 40 years as a reputable Australian Children’s shoe business, Surefit was founded in 1984 to provide Aussie Kids the most comfortable and highest quality shoes that “make every step stronger.”
Owner John grew up around the construction and manufacturing of shoes, in fact some of his earliest memories take place in the garage of his family home in Melbourne, watching and helping his mother hand stitch shoes. At the age of 18 he began his footwear journey crafting and designing footwear for the family business. Through 10 years of designing, constructing and learning the art of footwear, John took over the Surefit brand in 2002 with a vision to combine his years of knowledge and expertise in quality shoes to the children’s footwear industry.
Since embarking on its journey, Surefit has grown and is now stocked in hundreds of stores Australia wide, offering Children a shoe which they will love as they grow and offering parents peace of mind knowing that their child’s feet are being shaped to achieve long term foot health. Over the years, we have improved our product to ensure that kids feet are protected now and into the future.
Surefit footwear is designed right here in Australia specifically to the standards of Australian kids. We know what Aussie kids need and that’s why our footwear is constructed with signature features that are always evolving.
Our unique Science backed ‘Flex System’ ensures that
our outsole adjusts with the natural motion of a child’s
growing foot, nurturing it through the growth phase.
We’ve switched to 100% eco-friendly packaging. Our shoe boxes are coloured with water based paints, and are also completely recyclable, ensuring that they can keep giving back over and over again rather than go into landfill.
It’s the little things that count when protecting the environment, we’ve gone the extra mile by removing chrome from the leathers that make up our shoes.
Chrome in the leather colouring can also be harmful to the environment by contaminating water supply and soil in local areas. This is just another small step we take to benefit the environment that our kids will grow up in.
Our innovation in Children’s footwear never stops, that’s why as of 2020 we are using lining made from a new, innovative technology called On-Steam. Although the material replicates the feel and look of leather, it is antibacterial, and provides 6 times greater transport of humidity allowing for a much more comfortable experience for children, particularly in warmer weather. On-Steam is certified as a sustainable material and is free of chrome as well as produced with no carbon footprint.
