About Lelli Kelly: Lelli Kelly is an Italian girls’ footwear brand founded in Tuscany in 1992, and still best known for sparkly, embellished designs: glitter, sequins, light-up soles and the little charm packets that come with many styles. The range covers school shoes, sandals, boots and trainers, all sized in EU sizes with a look that appeals to children without cutting corners on comfort for growing feet.
Lelli Kelly children’s shoes are made in EU sizes and generally come up true to size, with a fairly slim, neat fit through the foot. Measure your child’s foot and match it to the foot length below, allowing about a thumb’s width of growing room at the toe. We currently have EU 27 (UK 9) in stock.

A sole fitted with small LED lights that flash with each step, a popular Lelli Kelly feature on many children’s styles.
A cushioned insole that lifts out for cleaning or to make room for growth.
A hook-and-loop strap fastening that lets younger children put their own shoes on independently.
By foot length, yes. Match your child’s measurement in cm to the EU size on our chart and you should land in the right place. Parents do report that some styles feel narrow on wider feet, and a few school styles are cut specifically for narrow or wide feet, so the style matters as much as the number.
Most styles are a standard F fitting, but selected school and dolly shoes are labelled E for narrow feet or G for wider feet in the product name. If width is a concern, look for those rather than simply sizing up or down.
Lelli Kelly follow EU sizing, so half sizes only exist where the chart allows them. If your daughter is between, we would size up and use the removable insole to take up any slack at the heel until she grows into them.
They are built for the classroom and the playground, with leather uppers and scuff-resistant finishes on many styles. We find they hold up well with normal school use, though heavily embellished party styles are better saved for weekends and special occasions.
No. The LED unit sits in the heel of the sole and does not change the length or width of the shoe. They add a little weight, but children rarely notice once they are on and flashing with each step.
Canvas and fabric trainers often wash well on a gentle cycle inside a pillowcase, which parents tell us works for everyday scuffs and playground dirt. We would stick to a damp cloth on patent leather, heavily beaded styles and school shoes, where machine washing can loosen the decorations.
