Are you secretly in love with that white cat with the pink bow from Japan? But does it feel inappropriate to show your love for Hello Kitty at work? Then the new Hello Kitty shoe collection for working women is definitely for you. And it goes a bit further than just having the cute little cat on your shoes. These shoes are specially designed for those who have to walk a lot at work. Curious? In this article, I’ll tell you all about it!
Hello Kitty launches shoe collection for working women
When you think of a Hello Kitty shoe, you probably imagine a design that’s mainly made to look cute. But according to the press release, these shoes also have an amazing fit. That’s not surprising, since they’re made and sold by the international shoe brand Moonstar. The pumps, available in black and soft pink, have five features that ensure comfortable wear:
- Special fit: The insole is designed to match the shape of the foot, ensuring even weight distribution across the shoe. The material is also shock-absorbing, and the sole has slip-prevention, reducing the risk of slipping.
- Flexible: The shoe is flexible, making it feel light while walking.
- Extra stability: The outsole has extra weight in the middle, providing a stable feel despite the heel.
- Heel support: The heel area features a special cushion. This not only adds comfort but also reduces the chance of slipping out of the shoe.
- Antibacterial deodorant: The inside is lined with an antibacterial layer to minimize the chance of odor from perspiration.
But let’s not forget the exterior. The shoe features delicate lace and a charming bow—an unmistakable Hello Kitty signature. A sparkling rhinestone adorns the bow, while the beloved cat is subtly woven into the inner lining. The heel measures 7 centimeters.
For the true Hello Kitty fans
The collection will be available from the end of February through all Moonstar webshops and stores that sell this brand. The pumps cost 9,790 Japanese yen, which is approximately €61.47. That’s a reasonable price for a shoe made mainly from synthetic materials and rubber. The size range is based on centimeters. If your foot measures between 22 and 26 centimeters (which translates to about size 35 to 41), you could soon be strutting around at work in the one and only Hello Kitty pumps.

I work as a sales clerk, which means I’m on my feet most of the day. My job is really a jeans-and-flats job, but I choose to wear a knee-length skirt and dress, along with medium-heel pumps or sandalettes, since it’s more professional, and I feel I’m treated accordingly. The Hello Kitty line looks very much like something I would love to try! My only regret is that they are not available in peep-toes or open-toes. Well, maybe, at least not yet!
