We love creating specific designs that young people request, like Lexi's Supershoes. Super Artist Nikki put her heart into creating them, and Lexi's smile says it all! Keep smiling, Lexi! #LacedWithHope pic.twitter.com/AOfBRAMzy3

Supershoes empowers children & young people fighting cancer in the UK, enhancing physical & emotional wellbeing whilst raising awareness.
We have some Super-awesome news to share with you...
Supershoes is thrilled and delighted to announce that co-founders Sarah and Ken have both been awarded the British Empire Medal in the 2025 New Year’s Honours List by His Majesty King Charles III for services to children with cancer. Sarah and Ken said: “We are humbled to receive the British Empire Medal and do so on behalf of all of the volunteers at Supershoes, in recognition of the work that we do as a team to boost the wellbeing of children with cancer.”
What Is Supershoes?
Supershoes is a registered charity that provides unique customised gifts for incredibly brave children and young people, who are receiving treatment or palliative care for Cancer in the UK.
The gifts provided are hand painted customised canvas shoes - Hence the name Supershoes!
Supershoes are created to brighten a child who faces massive challenges every day.
The gifts also promote mobility, by encouraging children who may otherwise feel too poorly to get out of bed and enhance emotional and physical wellbeing by providing a positive step on a difficult journey.
