About Us
My name is Marketa Minton and I am the owner of Matej Shoes LLC. I am a stay-at-home mom living in suburban Washington, DC. I was born in the Czech Republic, Europe. It is a small country right next to Germany for those of you who do not know. I came to the USA about 7 years ago. I love living in America and of course, part of me is missing the European life.
I have decided to start my own small company a while ago. I was not able to sleep for days until I told myself to go for it. But why indoor shoes for kids...
When my son started walking I simply could not find comfortable shoes for him to wear inside the house. We have hardwood floors that are slippery and can be cold in the winter. I thought of shoes I used to wear myself growing up. Europeans take their shoes off in the house and wear slippers, even babies. I actually like that habit. Just think of everything you step on while outdoors and you bring it home on your carpets. I called my mom to send me a pair of those indoor shoes I used to have. They worked perfectly. I absolutely love them and so does my son.
I was asked by many people to start selling them in the US and I have finally got to do that. I really do believe in this product and that is why I am selling those shoes. I truly think you will love them as much as I do. They have been trusted by European moms for decades. I hope you will enjoy them. Our children are the most precious gifts in our lives and I want nothing but the best for them....
