Absolutely love these! Such a cute design. I find it hard to find barefoot shoes that are still cute and trendy looking. A lot seam ugly. But these are absolutely adorable!! Super flexible foot, and my 22 month old can put them on herself. They are perfect and will come back for more in the future 😍

The barefoot kids shoe parents will want them in

We genuinely LOVE our Rafferty’s shoes 🤍

Out of all the shoes Sage has, these are the ones he always reaches for like every single time 🥹 which says a lot because you know how picky little ones can be!

They’re super comfy, easy to put on, and stay on (which is a big win for us 🙌). I also love how well-made they are—you can really feel the quality, and they’ve held up so well even with everyday wear.

Honestly, it’s one of those finds where you just know you’ll keep repurchasing. Cute, practical, and Sage-approved ✔️

Oh, the hours I’ve spent trying to find shoes for my toddler’s perfectly imperfect little feet, that actually have a wide toe box, are flexible, zero drop and don’t cost $150 plus shipping from overseas. Rafferty’s do exactly what they “say on the tin” and their design is so gorgeous and well thought through. I love the retro sneaker style, the speckled sole, the cork detailing and the little tag at the back. I also love the elastic laces, the Velcro across the top for adjustability, and the removable insole with the indicators.
What a relief to have found a brand where all I have to think about is what colour the little fella would like. Thank you Shabnam!!!

I got these for my youngest son and my only complaint is that they don't come in sizes big enough to fit my older two kids! Which I guess I completely understand as foot development happens in the early years, but gosh - these shoes are just so comfy! I feel like I'm doing the right thing in giving my son's feet the right shoes so their gait and movement can develop properly but selfishly my favourite feature is the velcro. As a mum of 3 it's just that extra five minute it saves me in the morning and gives my little one more independence to get ready on his own - love them!

I’ve looked through so many products, and not only are these shoes functional, but the design is so beautiful.

When you look closely, you can really see the difference. The subtle mint-colored line adds such a nice touch, and unlike the usual rounded toe, the square toe with its gradually widening shape follows the natural form of the foot. The tiny ventilation holes and the structured outsole design also stand out.

You can tell how much thought went into details you just don’t see in other kids’ shoes.

My daughter always wants to wear grown-up shoes, and she absolutely loved that these look like a stylish grown‑up pair. And beyond that, the fast replies and great communication make me want to buy from them again.

Please make adult sizes too — I’d buy them in every colors!! So obsessed!!! 💓

Wow where do I even start?! These are the most beautifully designed shoes I've seen! My daughter is only 4 but I can see her toes curling inwards from all the shoes she has been wearing that are far too narrow! Not these ones though.. The sole is super flexible and there is actually space for my her toes to move. Her eyes lit up when she saw these and she'll be wearing these to school every chance she gets and all through winter!

Best barefoot-style shoes we’ve found for our family’s kids. They are lightweight, flexible, and durable enough for the playground. The fit is spot on, and I love that they are designed with natural foot development in mind. Great customer service and fast shipping, too!

These are the most beautiful shoes - they look so cute on my toddler and im so happy knowing they have a wide toe box and a ton of flexibility for proper foot development. They are amazing quality! Love supporting an Aussie mum owned business too! The free socks were beautiful- he loves them and great for sensory kids who dislike seams on socks. Gorgeous shoes, and looking forward to buying them in the next size up once he grows out of these.

Absolutely love these shoes!! My toddler only wears these now! They’ve already are so comfy for her and good for her feet. Obsessed with the colours too! Highly recommend these for your kiddos 🙌🏼

As a dad who wears wide toe box shoes myself, I’m quite particular about what goes on my daughter’s feet, so finding something similar for kids was important. The Rafferty’s Barefoot sneakers are excellent. The wide toe box gives her toes plenty of room to spread, which is exactly what growing feet need.

My daughter has worn similar barefoot style shoes before when she isn’t barefoot, but the quality of these really stands out. They’re lightweight, flexible, and very well made. It’s great knowing her feet aren’t being squeezed into narrow kids shoes. I wish more parents knew more about the benefits, not only for kids but for adults too.

Great and friendly customer service also!

We recently got Averie a pair of shoes from Rafferty’s and I honestly wish we found them sooner 🤍

At 2 and a half, he is BUSY! constantly running, climbing, exploring and wanting to do everything himself. Comfort is everything for us, especially on big days out. These have been perfect for all-day wear. No rubbing, no complaints… and no trying to pull them off five minutes later 🙌🏼

The biggest win? He’s the one picking them out and asking to wear them 🥹 Every time we’re heading out he goes straight for these. That alone tells me they’re comfy.

What I love most:
• Lightweight and flexible so they actually move with his little feet
• Easy to get on and off (still a bit wriggly 😅)
• Supportive without being stiff
• Durable for a very active toddler
• They go with literally every outfit

They’ve been amazing for park days, playdates and long exploring days and they still look so cute styled with little sets or casual outfits.

If you’re looking for a comfy, everyday toddler shoe that actually lasts, I definitely recommend 🤍

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
