Simple.

D&F shoes are minimal. They are designed to resemble a child walking barefoot for optimal growth and development during the critical years.  Our soft soles add a layer of protection from the elements, but allow your child to feel the ground beneath them.  Our rubber soles are thin and ultra flexible for new and established walkers who need a little more traction. 

Timeless.

When we decided to start making shoes full time, our goal was to create pieces that could be handed down. That tiny little shoes might make it into the forever box, and a daughter down the road would feel extreme excitement at the idea that they might work for her daughter.  We wanted a shoe that all generations could connect with. It thrills us to create shoes that are cherished by grandparent, parent, and child.

Handmade.

It's the heart of this business.  We are committed to creating ethical, slow fashion.  We promise to always pay fair wages, and source products that align with our business practices.  Quality over quantity is our mission. From start to finish, our shoes are designed, crafted, and packaged in Southern California.  

We are committed and proud to be HANDMADE.
