Stepping into a Dream: The Tippey Toes Story
Every Tippey Toes shoe tells a story, much like the remarkable tale of our founder, Tina Robinson Coleman. Born from a mother’s love and a wedding day dream, Tippey Toes is more than just a shoe brand – it’s a testament to turning life’s challenges into dazzling opportunities.
Tina’s entrepreneurial spirit was nurtured by her mother, Sarah Robinson, a woman who could make the sourest lemons into the sweetest lemonade. Sarah’s legacy of love, evident in her famous cakes and catering, taught Tina that even in the face of adversity, one could create something beautiful. This lesson would become the cornerstone of Tippey Toes.
The magic began with “something new” for Tina’s daughter Mariah’s wedding. Determined to make the day special, Tina adorned Chuck Taylor shoes with rhinestones matching the wedding colors. The result? A sensation that captured hearts and imaginations. As flower girls and junior bridesmaids twirled in their sparkling shoes, a idea was born.
Inspired by the joy these shoes brought, Tina began crafting rhinestone-adorned shoes for children. Each pair was a labor of love, created in the precious moments between her full-time job and travels. Like her mother before her, Tina poured her heart into every design, ensuring each shoe was as unique as the child who would wear it.
As 2024 dawned, Tina’s passion project blossomed into a full-fledged dream. The opening of the Tippey Toes kiosk in Memphis’s Wolfchase Galleria marked the beginning of a new chapter. Now, with retail locations expanding across the region and sights set on nationwide growth, Tippey Toes is stepping into a bright future.
At the heart of Tippey Toes is a simple yet powerful belief: every child deserves to feel special. Each pair of shoes is a unique creation, adorned with carefully chosen charms and rhinestones that tell a personal story. When a child slips on Tippey Toes, they’re not just wearing shoes – they’re embracing their individuality and stepping into a world of endless possibilities.
From a mother’s loving gesture to a growing business, Tippey Toes is more than just footwear. It’s a celebration of creativity, a nod to the resilience taught by Sarah Robinson, and a sparkly reminder that with love and determination, we can all turn life’s ordinary moments into something extraordinary.
Step into the world of Tippey Toes, where every shoe is a unique masterpiece, and every step is taken in comfort, style, and a whole lot of sparkle!
