Kohl's S.T.E.P.S. Style and Technology in Every Pair of Shoes

Take S.T.E.P.S. to find great-fitting shoes for your child.

We take special care in consistently producing superior shoes. That's why we developed S.T.E.P.S., a program that ensures every pair of SONOMA life + style® shoes — whether they are Mary Janes, sneakers or sandals — will fit your child the same way, every time.

S.T.E.P.S. stands for Style & Technology in Every Pair of Shoes, and we developed it because we know a good fit is important in maintaining healthy feet.

Our goal is to alleviate foot problems before they happen. And that's where S.T.E.P.S. comes into play. Anytime you see the S.T.E.P.S. logo on a pair of SONOMA life + style® shoes, you know that comfort, fit and quality were integral factors in the shoes' construction.

What sets these shoes apart? The standards for S.T.E.P.S. are determined by fit, material testing and construction. Our standardized measurements help us create quality shoes, which means exceptional value for you, and exceptional comfort for your kids.

The materials are tested by an independent lab to make sure small pieces don't come off, creating a choking hazard. Only after the shoes pass all the tests — which are above industry standards — will they be marked with the S.T.E.P.S. logo.

Each pair of SONOMA life + style® shoes has secure insoles that won't fall out, supplying flexible comfort all day.

An increased amount of foam in the footbed keeps the foot's impression longer, therefore providing durable wear. The high-grade foam is then adjusted to accommodate extra cushioning, giving your little one stability, comfort and flexibility.

The fit is where it's at. And now that we've designed shoes with your kids in mind, just look for the S.T.E.P.S. logo for all your shopping needs.
