Gallucci: children's shoes from Monte Urano since the 1950s

Gallucci began in the workshop of Luigi Gallucci in Monte Urano, a shoemaking town in the Marche, where he made clogs and boots in the early 1900s. In the 1950s his family, Giuseppe and Mario Gallucci, turned the workshop into a company that specialised in orthopaedic shoes for children, and in the 1980s it brought the Goodyear welt, the stitched construction of classic men's shoes, to children's sizes. The shoes are still made in the company's own factory in Monte Urano, in Italy, from newborn through junior sizes. A Gallucci shoe is a proper shoe in a small size: leather lining, a shaped last and a sole that can take a winter.

Gallucci boys shoes: double monks and Rock N Chelsea boots

For boys we carry the suede double monk shoe, with two buckles instead of laces, in navy and dark brown, and a navy version on a lug sole for wet pavements; it is the shoe for a blazer, a wedding or a school that asks for something smarter than a sneaker. The Rock N Chelsea boot in suede, with elastic sides and a pull tab, comes in navy, tobacco and grey and is the everyday boot from October to March. More boys' shoes are in boys' shoes and kids' boots; for slip-on sneakers see Andrea Montelpare and for loafers Tod's Kids' Shoes.

Gallucci girls ballet flats and Mary Janes

For girls there are three flats: the patent Mary Jane with a bow in navy, the metallic leather Mary Jane in gold, both with a strap across the instep, and the velvet bow ballet flat in black suede. They go with a party dress as well as a school skirt, and with the tights in Falke Kids. More are in girls' ballet flats.

Gallucci sizes

Gallucci uses European sizes; the Gallucci size guide gives the insole length per size, and the sizes in stock are on each product page. Measure your child's foot standing and add about a centimetre of room; the kids' shoes size guide shows how. Monk shoes and Mary Janes adjust with the buckle, Chelsea boots do not, so for the boots take the larger of two sizes.

Frequently asked questions

Where are Gallucci shoes made?

In Italy, in the company's own factory in Monte Urano in the Marche, where Gallucci has made children's shoes since the 1950s. The company started in orthopaedic children's shoes and in the 1980s brought the Goodyear-welted construction of classic adult shoes to children's sizes.

Do Gallucci shoes run true to size?

The Gallucci size guide lists the insole length per European size; compare it with your child's foot plus about a centimetre of room. The monk shoes and Mary Janes adjust with a buckle, the Chelsea boots do not, so for the boots we advise the larger of two sizes. Returns are possible within 14 days.

How much do Gallucci kids' shoes cost?

At Paul Zeist the ballet flats and Mary Janes are 150 to 170 euros, the Rock N Chelsea boots 179 euros and the suede double monk shoes 189 to 195 euros, the lug-sole version being the dearest. Prices reflect production in the company's own factory in Italy. End-of-season pairs move to kids' sale.

Which Gallucci shoe for a wedding and which for school?

For a wedding or a blazer, the suede double monk shoe in navy or dark brown, with two buckles instead of laces; the navy version on a lug sole is for wet pavements.
