The Natural Choice for Barefoot Shoes
Plae Chloe Marin Madia – Lightweight, Flexible & Customisable Kids Shoes
The Plae Chloe Marin Madia is a fresh update to the popular sports-inspired Mary Jane, designed for active kids who need shoes that can keep up with playtime, sports, and everyday adventures. With an ultra-lightweight neoprene construction, these shoes provide flexibility, breathability, and all-day comfort, making them ideal for both sports activities and casual wear.
The flat, thin, and flexible sole features dynamic traction treads, ensuring kids have the grip they need for running, climbing, and exploring. Built with athletic standards in mind, the Chloe also includes durable toe guards for extra protection and wicking, washable, anti-microbial inserts to keep feet fresh and comfortable.
To enhance the barefoot experience, the shoes have a zero-drop sole, and we recommend removing the removable insole, which has a small heel rise. This helps kids enjoy a more natural foot position and improved ground feel.
What makes the Chloe Marin Madia even more fun is its customisable Velcro tabs — perfect for adjusting the fit to suit wider or slimmer feet, and for changing the look with additional tabs in different colours and designs.
Part of the limited 'Art of PLAE' collection, this special edition was created in collaboration with Californian artist Oliver Black, inspired by his niece Chloe and the madia flower native to Marin County, California. The result is a fun, graphic floral design with a creative twist on classic patterns — blending playful style with high-performance design.

One of the biggest challenges we face is standardising the sizing structure as sizing varies between brands. For example a UK4 for one brand may be significantly different to a UK4 in another.
To help you we have attempted to standardise this by measuring all our shoes in centimetres (Internal Shoe Measurement (cm)) and then converting into our UK size for familiarity purposes (HLS UK Size). Please note that this will usually vary a little from the manufacturers conversion (Plae UK Size), which is shown on the box, as this is unavoidable as we try to standardise across all brands.
We recommend purchasing shoes/trainers which measure around 0.8-1.0cm bigger than the length of the longest foot measurement. Please see the table below detailing the Internal Shoe Measurement (cm) alongside the Foot Length (cm) this size shoe will fit.
Always buy based on the centimetre measurements of the shoe and the foot rather than the EU size, UK size or manufacturer's size.
