Expanding Adjustable Youth Sandals

The GroFive 'Expandals' Expand Up to Five Sizes

— July 28, 2018 — Fashion
Kids will often go through dozens of pairs of shoes over the course of their youth, so the GroFive 'Expandals' have been created to help parents save money and resources by curbing the constant need for new footwear.

Capable of expanding up to five sizes, the sandals are adjustable in three areas of the shoe to ensure they will provide a customized fit and be suitable for multiple years of wear rather than just one season. The rugged design of the sandals makes them durable enough to withstand the rigors they're put through by children as they play, hike or enjoy time with friends.

The GroFive 'Expandals' come in several color options to make them suitable for children of all genders and even come in adult sizes to help parents get a pair for themselves.
Trend Themes
1. Expanding Youth Footwear - Opportunity to disrupt the children's footwear market by offering expandable shoes that can accommodate multiple sizes.
2. Sustainable Kids' Shoes - Opportunity to tap into the growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products by offering durable and adjustable footwear for children.
3. Parents Purchasing Patterns - Opportunity to cater to parents' desire to save money and resources by creating adjustable shoes that can last for multiple years.
Industry Implications
1. Children's Footwear - Opportunity for children's footwear manufacturers to create expandable shoes and tap into the growing market for sustainable and cost-effective products.
2. Eco-friendly Products - Opportunity for companies in the eco-friendly products industry to expand their offerings and include adjustable footwear for kids.
3. Parenting and Family - Opportunity for parenting and family brands to provide innovative solutions like adjustable sandals to cater to parents' needs and preferences.
