“
Went for both our kids school shoes and from the moment we stepped in to coming back to get another pair they had arranged to collect from the Stamford store the customer service was 10/10. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Nothing was too much. Great with families and love that it's a family run business!

My 3 children have worn Ricosta from you since they could walk. Excellent brand last the test of time and the patent lasts from child to child! My boy has loved the Kimi boot since 2yrs old now nearly 11!! Super designs, fit and practical being water resistant.

Ricosta shoes have been brilliant for my child—lightweight, durable, and really supportive. They've handled school days, playground chaos, and plenty of running about without wearing down. The fit was spot‑on, and the quality feels worth every penny.
