About Shoelist

Our Mission

Shoelist was created with a simple but powerful mission: to simplify the process of finding, sharing, and managing school shoe requirements for schools, parents, and local retailers.

We believe that clear communication between schools and parents about uniform requirements, especially footwear, can save time, reduce stress, and ensure students have appropriate shoes that meet school standards.

Our Story

Founded in 2025, Shoelist emerged from the frustration many parents face when searching for the right school shoes. Our founder, a parent of three, experienced firsthand the challenges of interpreting school uniform policies, finding retailers with the right options, and ensuring compliance with school requirements.

What began as a simple idea to create school-specific shoe lists has evolved into a comprehensive platform that connects schools, parents, and local shoe retailers in a seamless ecosystem.

What We Offer

For Schools

Schools can create customized, professional shoe lists that clearly communicate their requirements to parents. Our platform allows for detailed specifications, including allowed styles, brands, and colors, as well as prohibited options.

For Parents

Parents gain access to clear, school-approved shoe lists, reducing confusion and the risk of purchasing inappropriate footwear. They can also find local retailers that stock the required shoes.

For Retailers

Local shoe shops benefit from increased visibility to parents looking for specific school shoes. Our platform helps connect retailers with their local community, supporting small businesses while providing a valuable service.
