I bought these for my daughter hoping for her to wear something safer and more supportive than crocs and was absolutely blown away by the quality when I opened the box.

I was even more surprised when I went back to their instagram and realised they were still only a small and starting out!!!

Anyway, thank god for quality leather shoes because toddlers are rough 🤌🏼

Just got my 6 year old a pair of new shoes, and I couldn't be happier! 🎉 They’re super lightweight and comfy, making it easy for her to run around and play all day. The design is adorable, and she loves showing them off to her friends. Plus, they have great grip, which gives me peace of mind when shes out playing. Highly recommend these for any active little ones! 👟✨

So my son has now had his shoes for nearly three months, and they still look as good as the day he got them. He wears them to basketball, he wears them to BMX, he wears them just playing in the backyard, and they still look amazing. I might do a video on this as well, just to follow it up and to show what good condition his shoes are in, especially considering how rough my boy is on his shoes.

I love that these are gender neutral and great for foot development. Easy for kids to put on l/take off themselves too.

We love these! They’re easy for my son to put on himself, very easy to wipe clean and I love the peace of mind I have seeing him in shoes that are designed for children’s foot development. Very good for the price too!

We absolutely love our Rafferty’s sneaker! It’s become my (almost) two year olds favourite shoe along with his “little bears” socks. These shoes have been top tier compared to others on the market that offer the same regarding style, quality and ease of use with a well thought out design (kudos to the velcro strap) with little growing feet in mind. These shoes have been worn almost daily and have suited every outfit (with many compliments). Obsessed 😍

My son has such a wide foot mixed with a decent arch that we have always struggled to find shoes to fit the natural shape of his foot without causing damage and injuries. Rafferty's barefoot shoes have ticked every single box for us as parents and for my son as an independent and opinionated 3 year old and has taken away the stress and anxiety of shoe shopping from here on out.

They’re stylish, well fitting, spacious and easy for a 3 year old to use independently. We will be continuing repurchasing from Rafferty’s until my son sizes out!

Such cute and practical shoes. So hard to find barefoot shoes for kids that are actually stylish. My daughter loves her pair and I will buy some for my son when he is a bit older

Frequently Asked Questions

Curious about the "barefoot" difference or just need help with sizing? Here is everything you need to know about zero drop, foot health, and how our sneakers support natural movement.
The easiest way is to measure your child’s foot length in centimetres and match it to our size guide. Age can be a rough hint, but foot length is what gets you the right fit. Measure both feet (they are often slightly different), use the longer foot, then choose the size that lines up with our size guide.

EU Size 22 - 6.5cm

EU Size 23 - 6.7cm

EU Size 24 - 6.9cm

EU Size 25 - 7.1cm

EU Size 26 - 7.3cm

EU Size 27 - 7.5cm

EU Size 28 - 7.7cm

EU Size 29 - 7.9cm

EU Size 30 - 8.1cm

EU Size 31 - 8.3cm

A good fit feels secure at the heel but roomy at the front. Toes should be able to wiggle and spread, which is the whole point of a wide toe box. If you are shopping for wide toe box kids shoes, this is what you want to see: no squashing across the toes, no rubbing at the front, and a comfortable feel when they walk and run. If you are unsure, use our size guide and start from foot length in centimetres.
Many families choose kids barefoot shoes because they allow more natural movement. The main things that matter are toe room, flexibility, and a flat base. If a shoe is foot-shaped (not narrow at the front), flexible underfoot, and sits level like zero drop kids shoes, it is usually a good starting point for everyday wear. If your child has specific foot concerns, it is always okay to check with a trusted professional.
A lot of parents look for barefoot shoes for toddlers because toddlers are still building balance, coordination, and confidence. The same principles apply here too: plenty of toe room, a flexible sole, and a comfortable fit. The best place to start is measuring foot length and using our size guide, then doing a quick indoor try-on to check comfort before any outdoor wear.
It is a fair question. Kids barefoot sneakers cost more when they are built properly, not mass-produced, and made with materials and construction that hold up to real kid life. With Barefoot 1, the price reflects things like a true foot-shaped build (wide toe box and zero drop), reinforced construction for durability, and higher-standard material choices, including PFAS-free testing. We would rather make a shoe that is genuinely built for movement and daily wear than cut corners and call it “barefoot”.
Yes. Durability is one of the biggest hesitations parents have, especially when they are buying their first pair of barefoot shoes. Barefoot 1 is designed for everyday wear with reinforced construction, so it can handle the normal school-run, playground, scooter, and weekend chaos. Like any kids shoe, how long it lasts depends on how hard they play, but this pair is made with daily use in mind.
Most kids barefoot shoes are not fully waterproof unless they are designed as a waterproof boot. Barefoot 1 is water resistant, which means it can handle light splashes and everyday mess, but it is not made for deep puddles or soaking. If waterproof is your main requirement, you will usually need a different shoe category.
Yes, as long as they are still new and unused. You have 14 days to initiate the returns process after receiving your order. Shoes must be in the original box with all packaging, tags, accessories, and inserts, and they must not show signs of wear like creases, dirt, marks, odours, or damage. The safest way to check fit is a careful indoor try-on on clean floors.
We currently ship within Australia only, and we ship from Sydney. Delivery time depends on your location and the carrier, so the most accurate estimate is the one shown at checkout. Once your order is on the way, you will receive tracking so you can follow it.
