What is Pom d'Api?

Pom d'Api is a French children's footwear brand. It was developed by the Vendée shoemaker Rautureau Apple Shoes, which later sold its Pom d'Api children's shoe business to Shoopom.

Products and positioning

The brand designs shoes for babies, toddlers and older children, with an emphasis on leather and suede. Typical styles include:

  • Ankle boots in leather and suede
  • Ballerinas for girls
  • Sandals and everyday shoes

Distribution

Pom d'Api has built a franchise network of dedicated shops, which has been expanding both in France and abroad. The concept is promoted in French franchise directories to entrepreneurs wishing to open a store. The brand is also sold through independent children's shoe retailers and online, where a redesigned website helps parents find the right size.

Why it matters

Pom d'Api is one of the recognised names in French children's shoes, and its franchise model shows how a specialist footwear brand can grow its own retail presence without operating every store directly.
