Our Story

MAKU KiDS grew out of a personal search for soft, comfortable shoes for little feet.

From an idea to a brand close to our hearts

I'm Zeynep, mum to Malik and Liya. When Malik started exploring the world by crawling in 2018 and later took his first steps, we looked for something that would protect his feet while feeling comfortable and allowing him to move freely. Socks would not stay on reliably, and it was still too early for structured shoes.

The material needed to be soft, high-quality and comfortable – almost like a second skin. After a long search, we found exactly what we had been looking for in southern Turkey: carefully made shoes for little explorers.

When Liya was born in 2020, these shoes once again accompanied us through those important first stages of development. That experience inspired us to support other families with thoughtful, lovingly selected products – and MAKU KiDS was born.

What MAKU KiDS stands for

• soft comfort for little feet
• child-friendly designs for everyday life
• carefully selected materials
• personal service from Switzerland

For little feet. For big adventures.
