The Sweetest Finishing Touch: Why Shoes + Socks Matter Most

September 15, 2025

As a mom, I’ve learned that sometimes the smallest details are what make the biggest difference. I can put my little one in the simplest outfit, but as soon as I slip on a pair of adorable knee high socks and sweet little leather shoes, the whole look feels complete. It’s those finishing touches that make me smile, and honestly, they’re the pieces I end up saving in a keepsake box long after my babies outgrow them.
That’s really what we're about at Harper & Hedgie. I wanted to design shoes and socks that felt timeless, practical, and a little like my own childhood.

The Charm of Knee-High Socks

There’s just something about babies in knee high socks, isn’t there? Our cable knit ruffle top knee high socks are one of my absolute favorites. They come in soft, heirloom-inspired colors, like shabby chic white, butterscotch yellow, sparrow grey, and apple cinnamon red, that pair with just about anything. They’re cozy, stretchy, and sweet, adding that extra little detail that makes an outfit feel special.
I especially love how they look in milestone photos or family pictures. They frame those chubby baby legs in the cutest way!

The Heirloom Quality of Leather Shoes

When I started Harper & Hedgie, I knew I wanted to make shoes that moms would actually treasure. Our handcrafted shoes are designed to look timeless with the scalloped edges, bows, and classic leather broguing. They’re soft and flexible for little feet but sturdy enough to last. To me, these are the shoes that belong in a memory box. The pair they wore to take their first steps. they’re not just shoes, they’re part of the story you’ll want to remember.

Why It Matters
For me, it’s never just about the outfit. When I slip Harper & Hedgie shoes and socks on my little ones, I’m really thinking about the memories we’re making. Years from now, when I look back at photos, it’s those tiny shoes and sweet socks that stand out, the little details that make the moment feel even more special.
That’s what Harper & Hedgie means to me. Simple, timeless pieces that aren’t just for today, but become part of the memories we’ll hold onto forever.
