A Chicago-based shoe company with European flair for your kiddos.

Founder Ewa Tereszkiewicz designs practical, ultra-stylish baby and toddler shoes that are not only adorable, they’re safe for kids to wear. Max & Ola is a children’s apparel company that specializes in footwear that is super safe for sensitive baby skin.

Max & Ola prides itself on producing shoes that facilitate learning to walk by keeping baby upright and free of scrapes and bruises. The company’s mission is to provide all-natural apparel that is safe and practical for parents, children and the environment.

Ewa’s luxury-quality children’s designs are the result of generations of experience with artisan design and craftsmanship, made of the highest quality materials in Europe. The shoes are made by hand with love using only natural tans and dyes.

The range of styles includes moccasins, soft slip-on boots, elegant lace-ups and pump-inspired strappy booties. “We offer each of these in an array of colors that are sure to suit your baby’s unique personality,” Ewa says.
