About Us
Over 30 years, Emel has become the standard of handmade children’s shoes in Europe. Established in 1990 to meet the growing expectations of parents, Emel created hundreds of lasts and models to fit children’s feet. After decades of study, Emel has become the expert in children's needs for their first steps.
