Ronel

My daughter is really happy with her shoes - they look super smart and are really comfy which means she can run and jump and play exactly like a 6 year old should! Highly recommend.

They are very comfy and the padding is nice. The end is very wide so my toes are not squished which I really like. I have only given them a 4 stars as they only go up to size 4 and I would want them again when I am a size 5.

I was initially worried that these shoes would be too loose on my daughter's feet, as she has fairly standard-width feet and many barefoot shoes seem to be designed for wider feet. However, they fit her perfectly and the adjustable strap helps keep them secure.

It took her a little while to get used to the different feel of barefoot shoes, but she quickly adapted and is now happily running around in them all day. She's been wearing them for around six weeks and they still look fantastic, despite being worn every day at school.

Most importantly, she no longer complains about her toes rubbing, which was a problem with her previous school shoes. We're very pleased with our purchase and would definitely recommend these shoes to other parents considering barefoot footwear for their children.

I've left it a couple of weeks before reviewing to really see how my daughter has been getting on with the shoes. She really loves them and immediately commented how much she likes being able to feel the ground (due to the flexible soles). They look smart and are easy to wipe clean, no complaints from us!

My daughter loves her new shoes and goes through her day effortlessly never complaining of tightness or pain the only reason for 4 stars is that needed to purchase an insole as half sizes are not yet available. However please don't let this put you off the quality of the shoes are lovely..

We are now on our third pair…. So hard wearing and even withstand playground football and tree climbing!!

3 days into the new school year and no blisters,, no moaning in fact all 3 children have stated how comfortable their new shoes are,,

Absolutely blown away by these shoes. My daughter has refused to wear school shoes for the past year, it’s caused lots of stress and tears. She’s only accepted wearing thin plimsoles which fall apart and aren’t suitable for all seasons. We picked the Ronel out together from the website and have been so excited for them to arrive. She put them on and everything changed - she calls them her ‘happy shoes’. They bend and flex and give her feet and toes space to move. No more fights - just a happy child who now doesn’t have to feel distressed in the mornings. Cannot recommend highly enough and we will be purchasing more of the range. Thank you.

Brought for my daughter who has sensory issues, every day has been a battle with shoes, kicking them off, screaming and crying. She has been wearing wellies to school for months as it was all she could tolerate… until I heard about barefoot shoes and came across Bgreater, I decided to give them a try! Well thus far so good, no crying, she puts them straight on, they fit perfect around the ankle so no annoying rubbing, she says they they are so soft and comfy and most of all she is so happy to have “pretty shoes” like her friends! So thank you to the Bgreater team, our mornings are so calm now!

These were a great choice, very comfortable and the size is perfect.

First school shoes my daughter has owned that she finds comfortable straight away. She absolutely loves them and wants to wear them everywhere. No complaints over how they feel or look. Made up with them! Thank you

I ordered the Black Patent Ronel shoes for my daughter’s second year at school and we couldn’t be happier with them.

They look great, and she finds them very comfortable. Last year we found that the traditional school shoes with the narrow toe box, available from other high street retailers, squashed her toes together and started to deform her feet.

The rubber sole material also extends up to the toe area so they are less likely to scuff as easily.

She is much happier in these Ronel shoes, I’m so glad I found them!

A full 5 Stars from us!

My 4 year old is starting school this September. She has worn these a few times already as I thought she might need to wear them in but she said they were super comfortable from the first time she wore them. They don’t rub, they are very flexible, it looks like the leather will be durable too, they’re wide enough for her feet and they look lovely :) we love them! We will definitely be coming back for the next size up and some Chelsea boots for winter!

Good concept, living up to the hype with our daughter’s first pair lasting comfortably through the school year. Next pair purchased for this school year only lasted 3.5 weeks before the strap stitching showed signs of fault. Customer service replaced however I would proceed with caution purchasing again given their initial solution was that I go to the local cobbler to get a repair which they would reimburse upon production of a receipt. Pretty cheeky considering the initial outlay and time during which faults were developed. It isn’t just the cost of the repair - it’s the cost of fuel and families valuable time in doing so that makes this inconvenient. I’d expect a better first line resolution to a £40 plus pair of school shoes that developed faults within 3.5 weeks of wear. However I can only presume they were trying to save money! Original pair sent back upon request for inspection.

My daughter finds them comfortable and they are good quality

I bought these BGreater shoes for my granddaughter, and they are fantastic! They are so soft, flexible and comfortable. Perfect for school, and she loves them. Really pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend them!

Finally found a pair of shoes that my daughter is comfortable in and that don’t squash her toes! She has been blessed with my wide feet unfortunately and wide fit shoes from well known children’s shoe retailers were still leaving her in pain by the end of the day as the toe boxes were too narrow. We’ve been through two pairs since the start of the school year until I ordered these. Really pleased that I found this site, will definitely be a returning customer.

Super smart shoes, looking smart for school and being a great fit for my children's feet. I especially like the size range in the sizing meaning it is really easy to get a good fit for my daughters feet.

size 10 is narrow, completely different from the smaller sizes that are actually barefoot

Sadly quality seems to have gone downhill. Bought a pair for my daughter for the start of school and within a week, the patent had failed on the buckle. Bgreater really quickly sent me another pair - and within a few days the sole was coming off. Customer service was excellent - sent back and refund received, but massive faff and really sad cus the last pair of exactly the same shoes lasted the whole school year and my daughter thinks they are the most comfortable shoes! Just need to get back to the quality they were before!

Lovely shoe compatability excellent

Have given a 2 because we had to send back and haven’t had the chance to try out yet.
Shoes look good quality but I got the size measure, emailed photos to the measure checker. I was recommended a size based on both of these but they were too small. I did this to avoid having to return.
Paid £5.50 postage, £1.99 to return and will have another £5.50 postage to pay when reordering the right size.
A cost which I should have been avoided.

Wonderful shoes really comfy

Nice shoes that my daughter likes and wants to wear with added benefit of being bare foot.

Not as flexible as other barefoot brands. They rubbed badly for the first week. Patent exterior scuffs easily and they already looked very used after only three weeks.
