Why Our In-Store Footwear Fitters Recommend the Kate

Our experienced in-store fitting team highly recommends the Ricosta Kate for senior students requiring a combination of mature styling and robust daily comfort.

• Tailored to Older Girls: Perfect for students who want a modern lace-up shoe without the extra weight of a chunky platform sole.
• Superb Adjustability: The traditional lace closure accommodates a wide variety of instep heights within the standard middle fitting.
• Orthotic Compatibility: Often chosen by shoe fitters because the deep, structured heel counter easily stabilises orthotic insoles once the standard footbed is removed.
