How it Started
Taare began with us: Chandni, Siddharth, and Nishant.
Three parents who wanted better shoes for our own kids.
We found that choosing the right footwear for older kids was often confusing.
Many options for children over age 4 relied on low quality materials or toddler-style designs that no longer supported healthy growth.
We created Taare to change that.
Designed with Care
From the start, our goal was simple: to create footwear that parents can trust and kids love to wear.
That meant investing time to understand how kids’ feet grow, and carefully identifying materials that provide comfort, durability, and breathability.
We shortlisted designs and constructions that encourage natural movement and support healthy development.
Every choice reflects our goal of helping kids feel comfortable and confident with every step.
Born of Purpose
For us, Taare is not just about making great products.
It is about the belief that every child has limitless potential and deserves an opportunity to shine.
That is why we channel a portion of every sale toward shoe donations, essential supplies, and community drives.
By supporting families beyond our own, we hope to make life a little easier and brighter for children everywhere.
Extending Shoe Life
With our free shipping labels and the support of our friends at Soles4Souls, gently used Taare shoes find new life around the world.
In the process, families that resell these shoes for a living are able to generate income and strengthen their community through sustainable entrepreneurship.
And when shoes are diverted away from landfills, the planet heals.

The Meaning Behind Taare
"Taare" (pronounced: Taa-ray) means stars in Hindi.
We chose this name because it reflects how we see children: bright, unique, and full of potential.
It is a reminder to design products that support them as they grow, explore, and shine in their own way.
The Journey Ahead
Our mission started with shoes, but it does not end there.
We plan to expand into newer categories, always with the same purpose: to create thoughtful products that support children and give parents peace of mind.
Because when children grow with the right support, there is no limit to where they can go.
