Introducing GEOX’s Stages & Ages Collection for Kids
Making sure that Keira’s shoes fit is a real challenge, and I mean a challenge that can only be described as 2 year old problems. She will do things like curl her toes and answer “No” to everything. The fact that her feet are rapidly growing doesn’t help either.
We were invited to try out GOEX’s newly launched Stages & Ages Collection for Kids, which solves this problem plus some for Canadian parents. GEOX is the leading manufacturer of breathable, high quality footwear for kids in Canada. The Collection, available just in time for the back to school season, features a system that makes it easy for parents to select great fitting footwear for their children from crib to teen years!
It is critical for children’s feet that they wear the right footwear in the right size at every stage of growth to ensure the natural optimal development of the foot. A large percentage of foot problems are caused by ill-fitting shoes while the feet are still growing, and the new Ages and Stages collection allows parents to get the best fit with seven unique categories that cater to each stage of development.
The first four stages, from crib up to years, feature a removable insole that can be used to check the growth of the child’s feet without all the fighting and the hassle thanks to the “Check Your Feet” system. The system lets parents know when its time to upsize simply by removing the insole – the shoes fit if the toes and heel are within the coloured area on the pad.
The insole is made from chrome-free leather and open-cell polyurethane, a material that has an exclusive “memory effect” that allows it to maintain its original shape even after prolonged use. It is also made to help prevent bacteria, fungi and unpleasant odour.
We visited the GEOX store in Mapleview Mall, Burlington, ON to pick out a pair of shoes. This was a great chance to see a variety of the shoes available in the new fall collection as well as see what the customer service was like. I worked for over 6 years at an athletic shoe store and had all the steps for great customer service pounded into my head so I notice even the little things.
We were pleasantly greeted well within 10 seconds of entering the store and from start to finish we were given great advice and assistance. I was quite pleased with the level of service we received, and did note that other customers were treated just as well.
There was a great variety of shoes for the whole family in really fashionable styles. Keira picked out this super cute pair of high tops in purple and they have a ton of features we both love.
The shoes offer great support, the “Check Your Feet” insole, and a waterproof but breathable membrane that lets sweat out without letting water in. Having the proper support is key, especially around Keira’s age which is when the foots muscles and ligaments have developed but the arch is still taking shape. Her new GEOX shoes definitely offer great support and flexibility so I feel at ease knowing they are doing her feet some good.
While they do have laces and Velcro, they really only need to be done up once thanks to the handy zipper on the sides of the shoes that make it easy to pop them on and off. The outer soles are non-slip and shock-proof too. I don’t think I have ever seen such smart features in a kids shoe before!
Oh, have I mentioned that there are lights on the sides that light up as Keira walks and jumps and plays? She loves “new shoes” in general, but I have never seen her quite this excited over a pair of shoes before. I kind of don’t blame her either, they look super comfy and pretty cool too.
Buy it:
The purchase of any GEOX kid’s shoes come with a “Beat Voice” bracelet as a free gift. The silicone bracelet is a genuine high tech “jewel”: it lights up when you talk into the microphone and records any sound. Available exclusively from mid-August to the end of October, in selected stores.

It seems to me that GEOX shoes is the ultimate in footwear from birth to adulthood. They have a scientific and sensible approach for making and fitting their beautifully made footwear. After reading your post, I would not hesitate to bring a child to their store for footwear.
They look great on your daughter, are they comfortable?
Cant get a nicer pair of shoes than this
These are cute and a fair price
I love the colour purple, I would wear purple shoes
Purple is my favorite color and those shoes really look perfect to your daughter 🙂 I would love to buy some purple rubber shoes for my tweens.
Oh my goodness those are adorable shoes! I can just see my girls wearing them! I really love the color purple on those shoes!
Those are cute and I like the features
I have a pair of Geox shoes and they are awesome. I think the shoes for kids are so cute!
They are adorable! She looks like she is enjoying them!
This is such a great idea! I just wish I get my toddler to keep his shoes on for more than five minutes!
Look at her so cute!! Her shoes are cute too. I like that pretty purple.
These look very nice
Those shoes look incredibly cute with that outfit. I also like how they use a ‘memory foam’ type of insole, and have that zipper on the side.
Customer service is so important. I will often walk out of a store if I feel the service is not up to par. I love the colours of the shoes you guys selected. One of my favourite colours.
Geox always makes such cute shoes- I love the idea that these shoes grow to adapt to my kids changing feet. Will definitely have to check these out!
My girls would love rocking those shoes like your cutie! This seems like a really good line of kids’ shoes.
that looks like a very nice solid pair of shoes. Purple is always awesome too!
These are so cute and look like great quality! And your model is adorable!
Cute shoes! My two year old does the same thing :)Oh, toddlers!
Those shoes are adorable! We’ve got to teach the little man to walk!
My daughter would be all over these shoes! I love the color.

Very cute shoes 🙂 I love how easy it is to check if they need a new size!
These are really, really cute shoes. They are so great for all kids at different stages of learning which is nice!
They look pretty cool and comfortable.. i never heard of this brand before, but i will definitely check them out next time we go shoe shopping.
Absolutely a wonderful idea! They look like they would have great arch support, I’m going to have to look to see if they have boys shoes for our back to school shopping in the next couple weeks 😀
Great for growing and fashionable – love!
What a great idea, love that you can easily check their feet to see whether they need a new size. These are very pretty shoes; Keira is so cute!
Cute shoes! I like the idea of using the insole to check the growth of their feet instead of getting them to stand still and be measured (especially little kids)
These are very cute and you can trust GEOX to make comfortable shoes.
Looking forward to checking these out with the grandkids for back to school
What a great idea to match shoe features with the child’s development!
I really really like these!!!! Your Miss K.. she’s just sooo soo adorable!! Her smile would make anyone’s day soo much brighter.
These sound like great shoes, Saedy isn’t quite ready but we’ve been talking about getting her the 1st pair of shoes ever… I’ll have to check out the site! Thank you so much.
