KOTOFEY Shoes

Kotofey is one of only a few brands in Russia extensively involved in developing children’s shoes as both scientific and research institutes and specialized educational institutions.

The company works is longstanding collaboration with the Moscow State University of Design and Technology (MSUDT), Russia’s first and largest university specializing in training personnel for the consumer goods industry.

The padding of Kotofey shoes are designed in conjunction with specialists from MSUDT utilizing recommendations from orthopedists, as well as data collected from indispensable research and measurements of children’s footsteps.

The implementation of advanced production techniques, the modernization of equipment and work with quality raw material suppliers allowed the company to successfully enter the medium price range market of children’s and adolescent shoes.

As part of its development strategy, Kotofey created a chain of brand specific shops, with more than 120 points of sale. Company experts are continually working to improve the quality of service, the availability of the shoes and the diversification of model range.
