Let customers speak for us
from 135 reviewsI've looked at Fairysteps shoes for years and a combo of arthritis and knee replacements always made me hesitate. This week I took the plunge. Good grief, these shoes are insanely comfortable and also so, so pretty. I sized down from my usual 6/39 and it was spot on. They are a delight. Thank you.
My new Flittles arrived in Australia today. My second pair. They are just as expected. Colour is a versatile brownish pink, perfect fit, beautiful leather and workmanship. These sandals will give years of comfortable wear for my very sensitive feet. I am very happy to have them. Thank you Ren.
Absolutely delighted that Ren decided to offer this shoe style in a rare size 2. I own a few pairs of her gloriously comfy shoes now and size 3 does the trick with socks and a foam insole, but this shoe fits like a glove on my bare foot making it the perfect spring and summer addition to my collection. Now I can wear fairy steps all year round! Let the fairies rejoice! Weeeee!! The color and fit are gorgeous, the ribbons whimsical and sweet. I truly feel like Cinderella every time I slip these onto my feet. They have the perfect wider toe box for my toes to spread comfortably and yet somehow the rest of the shoe fits the petite narrow part of the rear of my foot perfectly. I don’t know how she does it! True fairy shoe magic is the only explanation. I absolutely love them. Thank you!!
I love love love my new Owlsfoot bag! A colourful messenger style tardis for phone, purse, keys and glasses. The fifth bag in my Faerysteps collection of handbags, each one a different style and colour but they all suit their purposes wonderfully! Thank you Ren for creating another leather lovely that I simply couldn't resist!
I love everything about the sandals I ordered: the feel of the leather, the colour, the fit and feel on my feet, and the fact that they can be loosened in the area I will need it most when I’ve been on my feet awhile in the warm weather. I have always loved leather footwear and bags, but I thought I must be fickle, because I would quickly tire of most bags. Not anymore. I’ve finally found a source where I can find exactly what I need. My Faery Steps collection is growing because Ren produces such practical, well-made products that are truly beautiful works of art as well. The footwear is comfortable and fun, and the bags are a joy to carry. Thank you, Ren. :)
These aren't my first pair of Fairy steps shoes so clearly I am convinced they're the most comfortable, stylish, admired shoes.
Normally I buy fs4 which are perfect for me as a regular uk5/38. But having recently been diagnosed with arthritis in both middle toes, which are also very wonky I decided to try these fs4.5, which as Ren said aren't her usual sizes, and they're so perfect, the extra width and slight length in the toe box are exactly what I need on sore toe days, I've literally lived in them since they arrived, and have found extra ribbons to swap for different looks, as these are destined to be worn loads. Thank you Ren for your fae artistry ❤️
I love this pastel jumper, I he several of Ren’s hand made jumpers and love them all. This is made in lovely shades of pastel and is boxy and cropped. Fast postage and lovely quality. Thanks !
This is my second pair of Fairyloot shoes. I got my first pair a few years ago and granted, I covet them and don't wear them all the time, but they still look new.
These shoes are beautiful, well made, incredible fit and so unique and stylish. You can feel the love they were made with and I feel so proud to own these. Thank you so much, I am thrilled!
Another incredible shoe experience in the bag! These beautiful Fingles are soft and flexible and fit my foot like a glove. The suppleness of the leather makes your foot feel like you’re walking on a cloud. This is the perfect every day shoe and goes great with jeans or dresses. The laces mean it can fit a variety of foot shapes and needs. I have narrow feet but prefer a wider toe box and these shoes work perfectly while still looking so fashionable. I can’t wait to get another pair. I couldn’t recommend more if I tried!
Wow!!!Words cannot express my delight with these boots. The whimsy, the craftsmanship, the design, the comfort is out of this world. Ren is a master craftswoman and her work is not only beautiful but also a comfortable dream for your feet. These boots lace perfectly on my petite ankles but provide enough room in the toe box for ultimate comfort. The flexibility of the soling means my feet feel supported but I still feel like I could dance the night away on a toadstool under the full moon. I will continue to support this incredible artist and shop and never want to put shoes on my feet again unless they are made by Ren. If you’re hesitating at all, take the plunge and treat yourself! You will be overjoyed by the experience of walking anywhere in Fairy Steps’ shoes!
I used my version of this little capsule clutch for the first time yesterday, and was inspired to leave this review. It’s absolutely perfect. The Natter bag is incredible. It hold so much: purse (Merry), phone, specs, lippy, hanky, keys and more. Yet it is compact and lovely to hold on to. It was perfect for the flower show I attended, where I wanted to make sure I had all I needed, but knew I would be in close quarters with other attendees as well as displays. It is pretty, sturdy, and entirely functional, and a joy to use (and even just to look at on my dresser when not in use). I absolutely love it.
Meg really is a bag of dreams and a dream bag. Somehow Ren has figured out the perfect proportions for a bag that can hold all that is needed through a day of work (mine is in and out of the classroom and library, so pencil case, journal, iPad & electronica, scarf, book or 2, thermos, keys, snacks) and the to and fro of transit time. Along with being as 'just right' in size as Goldilocks preferred her porridge's temperature, Meg is both comfortable (wonderful wide strap, holds its shape & stands on its own nicely) and comforting to carry (can be cradled snugly under an arm). In a world -- I quote one of my students -- 'on fire,' the thought that each bag, not to mention each shoe and purse and button and jumper, that Ren makes is as unique in the world as the Little Prince's rose, adds just that pinch of magic *fairy dust* & whimsicalness to keep heart & soul in hopeful cheer. (This review is for a made-to-order Meg, that is now accompanying me on all my daily rounds, else I would be pouncing on this nettle leaf one in Noce.)
This is my 5th pair of boots/shoes from Ren. I love, love, love them. I feel like my feet deserve beautiful made boots that depict who I am....fun, quirky and colourful. I know I will be back for more 🥰
I love this bag. the leather smells so good and is soo beautiful. It's smaller than I expected, so make sure you check the measurements carefully if you order one! But it fits my wallet and my iphone-- it's kind of like a little wearable pocket. Superb quality leather and stitching.
I live in Canada and wear a size 10 here. So I ordered a size 6 recommended by the gal that made the shoes for me. Everything about them was exactly as I expected and perfectly matched all the pictures that I saw of the shoes. The colors gorgeous. The fits perfect. They're absolutely delightful. I am very, very pleased
