SESAME STEP needs our help! Let’s convince NIKE to keep their kids accounts open.

The Issue

Located in Kendale Lakes Plaza in Miami, Florida. Sesame Step Children’s Shoes has been a memorable location for children and parents for 35 years. Named Best Kids Shoe Store by New Times and South Florida Parenting, Sesame Step is no ordinary shoe store. They are known for their exquisite inventory, elevated level of customer care and their attention to detail. What does that mean?? It’s means you leave the store happy, with shoes that fit your kids properly and the best part with at least 3 months of growing room. 

The reason for this petition is due to the most recent changes in the retail industry which is effecting a lot of small business's. NIKE one of the worlds biggest brands announced its DTC model (direct to consumer) in 2019 and has slowly started sending letters to all its retailers notifying they will no longer supply the brand to them. Limiting it’s supply to retailers, NIKE is pretty much forcing their consumers to either shop online or it’s nearest store location.  

No one is thinking about the children’s shoe industry!

My first pair of sneakers when I started walking was the NIKE PICO a classic all white shoe with a hint of color perfect for starting walkers. My babies first walking sneakers were NIKE as well professionally fitted for my babies wide feet at Sesame Step with a video of my babies taking their first steps.

Providing your young child with the correct pair of shoes takes more than just picking one up from a shelf and trying it on. Finding the correct pair of shoes means providing your children with a shoe style that provides the correct amount of support, the correct shoe length and the correct shoe width to avoid blisters, cuts and the shoes lasting less then 1 month.
It doesn’t matter how complicated your child’s foot shape is, Sesame Step Children’s Shoes has fitted shoes for kids with narrow or extra wide feet with a high instep using brands like NIKE, New Balance, Puma, Stride Rite and many more. 

I don’t want to take my kids to a NIKE Outlet or NIKE Factory Store where the selection and sizes are limited. I recently visited a NIKE Factory store location and spent most of my time searching for sizes and styles that weren’t even in right location. All this while pushing a stroller and holding on to my toddler. I also don’t want to shop online taking a wild guess at what size my kids are and wondering if the shoe will be comfortable. I wish to continue to shop for my favorite brands while getting the best one to one service that my children and I deserve.

NIKE PLEASE SIMPLIFY OUR LIVES.

LISTEN TO YOUR MOMMY AND DADDY CONSUMERS.

Shopping with children is hard enough already, please allow your brand to continue to be represented with honor and class by Sesame Step Children Shoes.
