Spain's Favourite Summer Shoe — Now in the UK
What is Igor and where are the shoes made?
Igor is a Spanish children's footwear brand based in the Basque Country, making shoes since 1979. They're best known for their colourful, lightweight rain boots and casual shoes — practical, fun, and built to handle everything children throw at them. Igor shoes are designed in Spain, where wet weather and active children have been taken very seriously for over 40 years.
What makes Igor rain boots good for children?
Igor rain boots are among the lightest children's wellies available — significantly lighter than traditional rubber boots, which matters enormously for small children who find heavy footwear tiring and restrictive. They're flexible, easy for children to pull on themselves, and available in a huge range of colours and prints. Perfect for puddle-jumping, muddy parks, and rainy school mornings.
Are Igor shoes available to try on in Huddersfield?
Yes — we stock Igor at The Shoe Shop, 5 Carr Lane, Slaithwaite, Huddersfield HD7 5AN. We'd always recommend trying children's shoes in person — even fun, casual shoes like Igor need to fit properly to be comfortable. Our team will measure your child's feet and find the right size. No appointment needed, open Monday to Saturday.
What sizes do Igor shoes come in?
Igor covers babies and toddlers right through to older children, with sizes typically starting from EU 19 (around age 1) up to EU 38 (around age 13). They use European sizing — our Huddersfield team can help you find the equivalent UK size for your child.
Are Igor shoes good for wide feet?
Igor's casual shoes and rain boots tend to have a generous, rounded toe box that suits wider feet well. They're not as narrowly constructed as many European dress shoes, making them a comfortable option for children with broader feet. If you're unsure about fit, come into The Shoe Shop in Huddersfield and we'll measure up properly before you com
