Why Traditional Shoes Might Limit Your Child's Happy Feet

Traditional shoes with their narrow design can restrict your child's foot growth, impacting their natural movement and connection to the world.

By choosing barefoot shoes, you empower their little feet to move freely, ensuring healthy development and joyful exploration.

We love BGreater

We had BGreater school shoes last year that lasted all year! So, they were a natural choice again for this year. She loves the flower and the easy Velcro fastening is great for busy mornings. Recommend these shoes to everyone 🤩

Really impressed with our Bgreater shoes

Really impressed with our Bgreater shoes.I've been looking at them for MONTHS but took the plunge for back to school and I'm beyond impressed with both the quality of the shoes and the customer service. Having done conventional branded school shoes we knew how narrow even wide fit shoes were clumpy and stiff they have been. For 2 very sensitive daughters we needed a change andI'mso glad we found Bgreater. Both girls are now in their school shoes and I've since ordered trainers and toddler shoes for the baby! We are converted. Incredibly well made shoes, shaped to children's feet. I can't see us wearing any other brand now.

Best school shoes yet and healthy, happy feet

My daughter loves them and 3 days in there has been no complaints from her about fit or feel. We measured before ordering and the size is perfect. Even though she has narrow feet they fit well.Hope they withstand the wear and tear of her outdoor play and learning school. Happy her feet will be healthy!

We’ve always chosen BeGreater for our children

We’ve always chosen BeGreater for our son and daughter. Great quality shoes which last. You can see they are really well made and my daughter is excited to put them on in the morning. No complaints so far!

Lovely school shoes

Lovely school shoes. The added details of the smiley face to the soles makes it easier to put on. The little sparkle in the flower detail is also a nice extra. Will be purchasing again when grown out of current ones.
