Frustrated at the lack of shoe choice for young kids, mum Jenny Celebrin with business partner and mum, Yolanda La Gorcé, decided to create a range that embodied everything they were looking for in shoes for their kids. On the must-have list was high style, reasonable price, quality fit and support.
The result - an Australian hot and happening shoe label for littlies. Yunginz shoes offer the latest in shoe fashion, utilising high quality materials and designed to support little feet to help them get their best start in life. Not only do they offer the very best for kid's feet and fashion but they are affordable.
Their mini-me, adorable versions of older styles will delight little kids who are always trying to copy older siblings or friends.

This is your second year in the shoe business for kids. How's it all going?
Really well, it's extremely hard work but from the feedback we have been given retailers and consumers are very much welcoming something different in the kids footwear market. It is very satisfying to see something that you have designed from scratch actually end up on someone's little foot!
What were the main reasons you started Yunginz?
Due to a lack of trendy styles for kids, frustrating with not being able to find what was needed for Jenny's daughter.
These aren't just shoes that look good, you've done your homework to get a great fit for kids' feet too. Which professionals did you consult before you started designing your shoes?
When we started the business we got some GENERAL advice from a podiatrist local to our area. We are not affiliated with the podiatrist in anyway and the advice is not ongoing. We simply used the advice that was given and we make sure that each of our designs incorporates elements that create comfort for a child's growing foot.
