IFME × Kobe Suma Seaworld: The Future Kids Foot Project
On October 13, 2025, the renowned child footwear brand,
IFME, will partner with
Kobe Suma Seaworld (located in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan) to host an engaging event titled, "
Mirai Kids Foot Project - Learning About Marine Creatures from Your Feet!" This collaborative initiative invites families to explore the fascinating world of marine life while learning about the importance of proper foot health for children. The event promises to be both educational and fun, featuring two main activities: a foot measurement session and an interactive quiz.
Foot Measurement Session
Parents can bring their children to the
Dolphin Hall where they will have the opportunity to measure their child's foot size accurately. IFME staff, qualified shoe fitters, will assist in this activity. They will share vital insights on what to look out for when selecting the right shoes for children. Wearing properly fitted footwear is crucial to prevent injuries and promote healthy foot development. Participants of this measurement session will be rewarded with special
IFME animal stickers.

Can You Become a Marine Life Expert? True/False Challenge!" Organized between the

IFME original eco-bag.
