Award-Winning Styles: PRENTA Shoes Earns Widespread Praise from Industry Experts

PRENTA, the forward-thinking children’s footwear brand founded with a mission to promote foot health and style, is making a bold mark in the industry with a series of major award wins. Though still new to the market, PRENTA has already earned the trust of parents and industry experts, taking home top accolades that reflect its commitment to comfort, style, and innovation.

Founded by Ashley Mihell, a father of three young children, PRENTA was born from a personal need to simplify and improve how children’s feet are measured. “Measuring your child’s feet shouldn’t be daunting or inaccessible,” says Mihell. “From poor customer service in-store to challenges faced by SEN children, the current system has its challenges. We created a solution that makes measuring children’s feet easy and accessible.” Using cutting-edge digital scanning technology, PRENTA allows families to measure their children’s feet accurately from home offering a seamless, inclusive experience.

The launch collection merges timeless style with modern functionality. From traditional tones of tan, navy, and black to playful pops of green and red, the range includes sturdy first walkers, rip tape strap desert boots, Mary-Janes with delicate stitch detail, and versatile T-bar designs. Designed by Amy Pyne-James, each shoe is built with soft leather uppers, flexible soles, cushioned ankle collars, and protective toe guards to promote foot development.

PRENTA’s dedication to quality and thoughtful designs has gained attention from Loved by Parents winning three Loved by Parents Platinum Awards (2025):

  • Best Baby Footwear Brand

  • Best Toddler Footwear Brand

  • Best Children’s Footwear Brand

In addition, PRENTA has won the Gold Mom’s Choice Award, a trusted seal of approval for family-friendly products, and the Bizziebaby Gold Award, praised by parents for style, comfort, and durability.

PRENTA has also been nominated for the Best New Brand and Best Use of Social Media category in the upcoming Drapers Footwear Awards, marking a strong start in the footwear industry. Discover PRENTA’s award-winning collection at prentashoes.com
