Buds
Founder Name- Nikhil Kaul
Buds: India’s First Foot-Healthy Kids’ Footwear Brand is redefining children’s footwear in India by prioritizing foot health without compromising on style. As the country’s first brand designed specifically for growing feet, Buds was founded by Nikhil under the guidance of global medical experts to create shoes that truly support natural foot development-unlike the shrunken versions of adult shoes commonly available.
At the heart of Buds’ innovation is the ArchBoost insole, designed to facilitate healthy arch development, ensuring better posture, balance, and stability as kids grow. Unlike brands that adapt Western concepts to India, Buds is built from the ground up for Indian children, considering their unique foot structure, lifestyle, and the surfaces they walk on. Thoughtfully designed with a wide toe box to prevent squished toes, breathable materials to keep little feet sweat-free and odor-free, and lightweight EVA sole with cushioning to reduce fatigue, Buds ensures all-day comfort while actively supporting foot growth.
Beyond functionality, Buds shoes are effortlessly stylish, so kids (and parents) love them just as much as their feet do! – www.thebudslife.com
