The Pom d'Api story Pom d'Api has been making children's shoes since 1870. The story of a family first and foremost, the French brand was founded by Jean-Baptiste Rautureau, a shoemaker. At the time, this exceptional artisan was practising his trade from a workshop tucked away in the heart of the Vendée region of France and creating quality shoes for adults and children. His son and grandson took over the reigns and, ever since, the entire Rautureau clan has kept the family tradition alive in Rautureau Apple Shoes, a group that clearly comprises Pom d'Api, as well as the ultra-trendy Spring Court trainer brand or the luxury shoe brand named after the company's founder, Jean-Baptiste Rautureau. It was at the beginning of the 1970s that the Rautureau family decided to focus their know-how on children's shoes. The Pom d'Api brand was created and, alongside it, the desire to specialise in creativity for little feet, the likes of which had never been seen. Guy and Yvon Rautureau set about manufacturing this new range with the same meticulous craftsmanship that goes into their adult shoes. All Pom d'Api shoes are made from noble materials with the finest know-how in French shoemaking. Immediately recognised by professionals, in 1976 Pom d'Api received the Creativity Oscar in Milan, as well as opening several stores and winning over the general public. A success story in France, Pom d'Api is now a leading brand in the premium segment for children's shoes, serving generations of children past, present and future.
