Cocorose Turns 18: Celebrating Comfort, Confidence & Conscious Style

18 years of cocorose london | how many years is cocorose london

Hello Cocorosers 💗

It’s a double celebration — our birthday and the May Bank Holiday 🥳. We’re raising a glass to 18 fabulous years of Cocorose London. From our humble beginnings at a kitchen table in London to becoming a globally loved brand known for comfortable, stylish, and handcrafted women's footwear, what a journey it’s been. We’ve grown, evolved and hand-crafted so many pairs of shoes, but our mission has always remained: to empower you with comfort, confidence and conscious style.

Over nearly two decades, we’ve evolved with you — designing shoes that prioritise your comfort without ever compromising on elegance. Whether it’s our best-selling Hoxton leather trainers, our signature foldable leather ballet flats, or our plant-powered vegan trainers, every pair is lovingly created with the modern woman in mind — someone who’s constantly on the go, but who refuses to settle for sore feet or uninspired design.

Celebrating 18 Years of Comfort, Style and You

As we turn 18, we’re reflecting not just on how far we’ve come, but how far you’ve walked in Cocorose shoes — literally. From wedding days and job interviews to daily commutes, travels abroad, and weekend strolls, your Cocorose shoes have stepped through some of life’s most important moments with you. And for that, we’re beyond honoured.

I took a moment to re-read some of our reviews yesterday, and I felt all the emotions. I never dreamed just how much Cocorose would support you through life, and your words continue to remind me why Cocorose exists. One Cocoroser said: 

“I’ve had several pairs over the years and they never disappoint. So comfortable, so stylish, and I can walk for miles in them. I even wore them on my wedding day!” — Cocorose Customer

Another shared:

“These trainers are a revelation. I have wide feet and suffer with bunions, but these are soft, beautifully made and I now have three pairs.” — Verified Buyer

It’s this kind of feedback that keeps me going — your real stories, your loyalty, your honesty. You’re not just wearing our shoes. You’re living in them. And that means everything to us.

Designed for Life – Built for Comfort

When I started Cocorose, I never wanted women to have to choose between comfort and style. And now, 18 years later, we’ve handcrafted so many shoes that deliver exactly that — from supportive, cushioned insoles to buttery-soft leathers and flexible, foldable soles that move with you. Whether you’re exploring a new city, heading to the office, or chasing after little ones, Cocorose is with you every step of the way.

And we’re always listening, improving and innovating, like our removable insoles which make it easy to use custom orthotics, or our plant-based, responsible vegan alternatives.

Thank You for Living the Dream With Us

This birthday isn’t just ours — it’s yours too. Because without your support, your love, and your feet, there would be no Cocorose. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for walking with us. For choosing Cocorose. For sharing your journeys and allowing us to be part of them.

We can’t wait for the next chapter — and we hope you’ll be walking right beside us 💖.

 

With love,
Janan & Team Cocorose xx
