Kio Trend was founded by Kitty Qiu

An 18-year veteran of the North American shoe industry, a mechanical engineer by training, and a fashion-aware mom, by design. As a young mother, Kitty was frustrated by limited selection and quality of affordable shoes – and with her daughters, was looking for more stylish choices.

The Vision

To create quality fashion shoes that children love to wear – and mothers can afford to buy

The Kio Trend line

Inspired by European design and developed in the fashion centre of Montreal, Quebec. It is priced competitively for the North American buyer.

Each shoe, sandal and boot has been designed with love and attention – and cared for just like the babies and children, who will wear them.
