Cork footbeds · real suede · the home of the potato shoe
KIDMI started with one shoe: a round-toed suede clog on a cork footbed. We thought we were making a sensible house-and-garden shoe. An early customer looked at the toe and called it a potato. The name spread faster than any of our product copy ever has, so we stopped fighting it.
The range has grown into four shelves. Clogs and mules, which is still the heart of it. Cork-footbed sandals and slides for warm months. Flip flops with real shaped footbeds, because the flat rubber kind wrecks feet. And a winter line of fur lined slippers, moccasins and mini boots.
Every pair is built around the same part: a cork core that warms up, softens slightly, and takes the print of your foot over the first week or two. It is an old trick, much older than us, and it still beats most of what foam can do.
We spend on suede and cork and skip the rest. Plain boxes, no boutique distribution, one large marketplace storefront that handles orders, delivery and returns. That is how a real-suede clog stays under fifty dollars.
This site is our own catalogue. We built it because a storefront search box is a bad way to explore thirty models, and because questions about sizing and suede care deserve longer answers than a listing allows.
