Overview

IFME is a baby and children’s footwear brand launched in Japan in 2000 by Marubeni Footwear (now Marubeni Consumer Brands). Centered on supporting healthy foot development in children, it develops shoes with insoles that support walking, ease of wear, and safety through an industry-academia collaboration with Waseda University’s Faculty of Sport Sciences. Its official concept is “Growing together, walking together.” The brand offers products for different stages of growth, including FIRST SHOES, BABY, KIDS, JUNIOR, and SCHOOL. It has also expanded into areas such as ifme CALIN, ifme nature, IFME Plus, and ifme skincare.
