Plae Shoes Size Chart

All sizes published on our website are US sizes. Please note that size availability varies by style. Make sure to refer to our kids’ shoe size conversion chart below if you have any questions about your child’s foot length and the corresponding size in European, or UK sizing.

If your child has a fuller foot or a higher instep, you may need to go up a tab size. If your child has a very narrow foot or low instep, you may want to go down a size. If you require different tabs please email us.

How should I measure my child's feet for the best fit?

We know how challenging it is to get the right fit. Just measure the length of your child's foot and match it to the cm size on the chart below. To be doubly sure, you can use the Plae Shoes Fit Kit!  Ensure you print the sheet at full size, with scaling off!

Still got questions about fit? No worries, just send us an email.

What about orthotics and AFOs?

We've had many enquiries about whether plae kids shoes will work with orthotics and AFOs. The unique design and engineering of plae shoes and interchangeable tabs allow for accommodation of orthotics and AFOs. A wider shoe opening allows for easy entry. The insoles can be removed, and a wider toe box gives you that extra needed space. The interchangeable tabs (velcro straps) come in different lengths including extra-long to allow for a custom fit. learn about PLAE'S unique design and engineering for orthotics and AFOs here.

Notify me when this product is available:

  • A Classic and much-loved Kånken backpack with bright rainbow handles, fitted with a zipper that opens the entire main compartment. Designed out of durable and lightweight Vinylon F fabric with inside pocket and seat pad.

    We think this is the ultimate everyday school/work/travel/utility bag, ready to be carried and loved by little and big people - and in the far and distant future, recycled again. 

    The carrying system is simple yet perfectly functional with grab handles at the top and flexible, adjustable shoulder straps that comfortably fit both adults and children alike.

    The main compartment has a large zippered opening for easy access.
    It comes with a seat pad that's stored in the inside back pocket where it stops the contents of the backpack pressing against the back, and is always at hand when a pause is needed. There are also two flat side pockets and a zippered pocket on the front - perfect for small items you want to keep close at hand.  

    Features a reflective front logo and an address tag inside the main compartment.

  • Outer material: Vinylon F| 100% Vinylal
    Inner material: 100% Polypropylene
    Volume: 16L
    Width: 27cm
    Height: 38cm
    Depth: 13cm
    Zips: YKK
    Gender: Unisex
    Family: Kånken
    Environmental info: Fluorocarbon-free impregnation
  • We recommend soaking your Kånken in lukewarm water before you use it to ensure no colour rubs off onto clothing. Colours will fade if exposed to extended periods of sunlight.
    Don't put your Kånken in the washing machine. Instead, wash dirty marks with lukewarm water, mild detergent and a soft brush or sponge. And when it comes to drying, hang up the backpack in a well-ventilated area taway from direct sunlight.

    If tears appear, fix them straight away so they don't get worse. With love and care, your Kånken should last for many, many years.

  • We recommend soaking your Kånken in lukewarm water before you use it to ensure no colour rubs off onto clothing. Colours will fade if exposed to extended periods of sunlight.
    Don't put your Kånken in the washing machine. Instead, wash dirty marks with lukewarm water, mild detergent and a soft brush or sponge. And when it comes to drying, hang up the backpack in a well-ventilated area taway from direct sunlight.

    If tears appear, fix them straight away so they don't get worse. With love and care, your Kånken should last for many, many years.

Kånken Ox Red

$144.35 $160.78

  • A Classic and much-loved Kånken backpack fitted with a zipper that opens the entire main compartment. Designed out of durable and lightweight Vinylon F fabric with inside pocket and seat pad.

    We think this is the ultimate everyday school/work/travel/utility bag, ready to be carried and loved by little and big people - and in the far and distant future, recycled again.

    The carrying system is simple yet perfectly functional with grab handles at the top and flexible, adjustable shoulder straps that comfortably fit both adults and children alike.

    The main compartment has a large zippered opening for easy access.
    It comes with a seat pad that's stored in the inside back pocket where it stops the contents of the backpack pressing against the back, and is always at hand when a pause is needed. There are also two flat side pockets and a zippered pocket on the front - perfect for small items you want to keep close at hand.  

    Features a reflective front logo and an address tag inside the main compartment.

Size Guide
Plae Shoes Size Chart

All sizes published on our website are US sizes. Please note that size availability varies by style. Make sure to refer to our kids’ shoe size conversion chart below if you have any questions about your child’s foot length and the corresponding size in European, or UK sizing.

If your child has a fuller foot or a higher instep, you may need to go up a tab size. If your child has a very narrow foot or low instep, you may want to go down a size. If you require different tabs please email us.

How should I measure my child's feet for the best fit?

We know how challenging it is to get the right fit. Just measure the length of your child's foot and match it to the cm size on the chart below. To be doubly sure, you can use the Plae Shoes Fit Kit!  Ensure you print the sheet at full size, with scaling off!

Still got questions about fit? No worries, just send us an email.

What about orthotics and AFOs?

We've had many enquiries about whether plae kids shoes will work with orthotics and AFOs. The unique design and engineering of plae shoes and interchangeable tabs allow for accommodation of orthotics and AFOs. A wider shoe opening allows for easy entry. The insoles can be removed, and a wider toe box gives you that extra needed space. The interchangeable tabs (velcro straps) come in different lengths including extra-long to allow for a custom fit. learn about PLAE'S unique design and engineering for orthotics and AFOs here.
