Why Our Senior Footwear Fitters Recommend the Kate
Our experienced in-store fitting team highly recommends the Ricosta Kate for senior students requiring a combination of mature styling and robust daily comfort.
- Tailored to Older Girls: Fills the gap for students who want a modern lace-up shoe without the extra weight of a chunky platform sole.
- Superb Adjustability: The traditional lace closure accommodates a wide variety of instep heights within the standard middle fitting.
- Orthotic Compatibility: Often chosen by shoe fitters because the deep, structured heel counter easily stabilises orthotic insoles once the standard footbed is removed.
- Exceptional European Build: Expertly manufactured in Romania to ensure it withstands the wear of busy school days.
Fit Tip: The Ricosta Kate Medium Fit is beautifully proportioned for average-width feet. The lace-up structure provides fantastic midfoot security, while the removable textile insoles make it an outstanding, modern choice for older girls who require custom orthotic support.
