Beautifully designed and love the look! My son wouldn't take them off and absolutely loves them also! We have been struggling to get his other shoes on and stay on haha so very happy with them and will definitely be repurchasing when its time to size up! The socks were an added bonus and are super cute!

My only wish would be that they came in a darker colour option as I really would love him to wear these at daycare but his current ones get an absolute beating and being lighter colour/white i think i would struggle keeping them clean.

Otherwise we have a very happy 2.6yr boy!

It’s been a while since we’ve been able to find a shoe that my boy doesn’t want to take off immediately. He loves running and jumping in them. Lovely wide toe section and easy straps. Bought the size 8 and 9 ready for the next size up!
Would love to see some darker colours in the range! Maybe some gum boots/trekking boots too for the rainy days!

Love it! Easy to put on

We ordered Henry’s sneakers from Rafferty’s Shoes online and they’ve barely left the ground since.

They’ve survived enthusiastic puddle inspections, determined climbing expeditions, spontaneous sprints, and one very serious “I do it myself” moment. Jump. Climb. Run. Repeat. 😄

Most importantly, his little toes are happy and when Henry’s toes are happy, the world is right.

Ahma-approved. Explorer-approved. 💛

My kid loves these shoes. The colours are great, and the shoe design is easy to put on and off, and giving the right balance of protection and flexibility. Love the easy clean too!

Just thought I’d reach out with some feedback on the shoes. My 5yo daughter is fussy with shoes and will usually only wear shoes if they are pink 😂 so it was a mission to get them on her but once they were on she loved them so much! “Wow these are actually so comfy”. She wore them to school and her first comment after school was “these shoes were so comfy I didn’t even take them off once!” When usually she comes home complaining her feet are sore from wearing shoes all day. Thanks so much 👏

We’ve had our Raffertys for about a week now and my 19-month-old is obsessed! He had started saying ‘ouch’ with his other shoes, but now he runs to grab his Raffertys whenever we’re heading out. I’ve noticed such a difference in his confidence and balance at the playground, and they’re so easy to slip on.

They’ve already survived puddle jumping and washed up almost perfectly, which was a huge bonus for me as a parent. Comfortable, practical, and they look fantastic — we’ll definitely be buying more!

Great quality, comfortable kids shoe! An affordable barefoot shoe option

We absolutely loved Rafferty’s shoe. I bought a pair for my younger child(aged 4). We love how thoughtfully the shoes are made. You can immediately tell that the owners truly understand kids’ feet, their growth, comfort, and the way children actually move. The quality is amazing and very visible, from the materials to the fit. Me and my son, we both love the color. He usually only wants to wear blue, but he was genuinely excited to wear these and happily tried something new which says a lot.
Would 100% recommend Rafferty’s to other parents. Thoughtfully made, great quality, and a big hit with my child

I’m usually not the one to write reviews, but had to write this one. We bought Rafferty’s shoes for our twin boys and they have truly stood the test of time. The grip is excellent, and we noticed straight away how much more confidently they climb and run around. They’ve taken a proper beating while cycling, atletics etc and are still in great shape, most impressively, they still look almost new. That really says a lot about the quality.

I am pleasantly surprised by how cute these shoes are. I never find shoes that look this good and actually support healthy feet. Knowing they’re designed specifically for my daughter’s growing feet makes me feel so much less stressed as a parent.

I love how flexible the sole was, how light they are (usually when my kids take their shoes off there is a thud on the floor) and how easy they are to take on and off. It’s a great shoe for teaching your younger ones how to dress themselves. It’s crazy that there aren’t more shoes like this on the market, something that allows your child to feel free and doesn’t retrict their growth.
