Step into a world where style and comfort dance together effortlessly – welcome to Zig + Star, the footwear brand that has sustainability at its core. Born from a passion for creating shoes that not only look good but feel amazing, Zig + Star, launched in 2021, brings a fresh perspective to the world of footwear, setting new standards for modern elegance and day-long ease.


As a brand committed to sustainability, Zig + Star take pride in their commitment to sustainability and revealed that startlingly, approx. 22 billion pairs of shoes are sent to landfill every year. Therefore, each pair of their Zig + Star shoes is crafted with eco-conscious materials and mindful production methods, minimising their carbon footprint without compromising on quality.
A scroll through their website reveals an attractive array of well-structured and striking footwear, promising an unparalleled experience for the young feet they adorn. But, as they say, the proof is in the pudding, so we couldn’t resist getting our hands on a pair to see for ourselves what makes this brand truly exceptional.
As back to school footwear is firmly on the minds of parents at this time of year, the website offers a dedicated section of ‘S’cool Shoes’ pitched as the ultimate solution for parents tired of constantly replacing their children’s school shoes.
Highlight feature right away is the ingenious Good-To-Grow removable midsole! Why has no one thought of this before?! The collection of school shoes grow up to half a size during wear, ensuring a longer lifespan, better value for money, and a reduced environmental impact – a true parent’s dream!
We selected the Astros, a quintessential T-Bar style shoe that has earned the seal of approval from podiatrists. With its child-friendly design and innovative features, the beauty of these shoes lies in its attention to both comfort and style.


With its adjustable strap, these shoes guarantee a secure and snug fit, accommodating the specific requirements of growing feet. The memory-foam style inner material further enhances their adaptability, making them suitable for both narrow and wider feet as they mould to the unique contours of each foot. The leather padded collar and insole add a touch of charm, ensuring abundant comfort and reliable support for young learners as they embark on their daily adventures.
These shoes boast comfort and durability, featuring podiatrist-approved grippy soles that offer reliable support for young feet. And of course, they feature the innovative soles that remove meaning they’ll see you at least the year through and quite possibly longer-term making them great to pass to others.
Their rubber outer appearance exudes elegance and sophistication, setting them apart from the traditional patent and leather-look designs commonly seen on children’s feet. Not only do they impress with their style, but their durability and easy-to-clean nature are also great features, making them a practical and long-lasting choice.
Available for ages 2 to 12 years, the full collection of Zig + Star S’cool Shoes and the wider range can be purchased at www.zigandstar.com
