What our Fitting Experts Say
Why Our In-Store Shoe Fitters Recommend the Alice
At our shops in Bourne and Stamford, our professional shoe fitting teams regularly recommend the Ricosta Alice for families who need a highly practical everyday uniform option.
• Low Maintenance for Parents: The protective patent coating means fewer visible scuffs and less time spent polishing shoes over busy weekends.
• Exceptional Construction: Direct-injection muolding bonds the upper directly to the sole without glue, drastically lowering the risk of split toes during cold, wet winter months.
• Breathable Everyday Comfort: The lightweight textile linings help minimize sweat accumulation, keeping socks and active feet fresh. Fit Tip: The Ricosta Alice is beautifully engineered for standard-width feet. The single rip-tape band makes it simple to adjust the tension comfortably, while the removable insole trick lets you instantly free up extra internal volume if your child has a slightly higher instep or uses medical orthotics.
