About Little Love Bug Company

Hi, I’m Leslie — the Sole Mom behind Little Love Bug Company. I founded Little Love Bug in my Portland, Oregon home after leaving corporate sales to raise my two daughters — my real “Little Love Bugs.” What started as a passion project between nap times has grown into a mission-driven children’s footwear brand trusted by families who care deeply about healthy development. I’ve always been drawn to minimalist footwear and the long-term impact it has on growing feet. Too many children’s shoes are rigid and restrictive — designed for style first and structure second. Little Love Bug was created to change that. Our shoes feature: • A wide, foot-shaped toe box • Thin, flexible soles that allow natural movement • Zero drop design to support healthy alignment • Elevated, modern styles parents actually love We believe kids shouldn’t have to choose between healthy and cute — and neither should retailers. Little Love Bug is thoughtfully designed for developing feet, built for real play, and created by a mom who understands what families truly need. From my home (and heart) to your shelves — thank you for being here. — LeslieRead their story
