These shoes not only provide comfort, quality, style, and LOVE, like all of our other Lil Soles shoes have, however they are also made from a plant-based alternative to leather… CORK!

Yes, Cork! Shoes that literally grow on trees. It’s nature's leather and without harming any animals or plants in the making. Pretty cool, huh?

Our Charlie loafers are designed with an elastic ankle, which allows them to stay on your little babe's foot and makes them easy to get on and off.

Available Colours:
Soft Pink, Natural, Mocha, and Charcoal

*Please note: We source our leather and materials from small scale companies, this can sometimes mean that colours & details may vary slightly*

Our handmade cork shoes are as good as bare feet, they allow little feet to move and develop as nature intended.

Why Cork?

Cork leather is the material for the future. It’s JUST as durable as leather with the same lifespan it also has a very similar aesthetic quality!

  • Extremely Light Weight
  • Easy to Maintain & Clean

Handmade to order. 

Please allow 5-10 working days (2 weeks) for your order to be crafted

Our shoes are handmade by us, we only hold a small amount of stock but generally, shoes will be made when they are ordered. This is why we allow approximately 5-10 working days for your order to be completed ready for shipping.

Please note that not all colors are available online if you have a specific color in mind that isn't on our website, please get in touch and we can try and make it happen. 

For correct sizing, please measure the length of your child's foot, heel to tip of big toe with a soft measuring tape on the bottom of their foot or follow the following steps below.

We recommend ordering a size bigger than your child's foot for growth. 'Example: Baby’s foot measures 11 cm order a size 3'.  

If it appears that your lil babe has a wider foot we suggest the next size up. If you are unsure contact us via instagram, Facebook or email at jen@lilsoles.com.au  

Our shoes are soft so they will stretch and mould to your child's feet with wear.
