   fashion style
   I recently got my daughter a pair of Amazon Essentials boat shoes, and I was absolutely thrilled! The style of these shoes is incredibly simple and chic, and the color is stunning. The shade I picked is practically a universal match for everything! The material feels great too; it’s not thin and cheap like some others, so the quality genuinely seems good. What I love most is that they don’t have laces, which is so convenient for my child, making them easy to put on and take off. Although some reviewers mentioned the sizing running large, I found the size I got for my child to be just right. She finds them comfortable, and they don’t pinch her feet when she walks. Overall, they offer amazing value for money – they’re stylish and practical, and I highly recommend them!

   Adorable shoes! Runs big
   I like these boat shoes! They’re stylish, good quality and feel comfortable the first few times I’ve handled them. The construction feels solid and they look like a pair that could be worn frequently without feeling flimsy or cheap.My only real gripe is the sizing: they run very large. I ordered a size up thinking it might run small, but these ended up fitting like I sized up twice. I definitely recommend ordering your regular size or sizing down if anything, otherwise they’ll be too loose. For comparison, my son is size 11 and we order 12, it’s bigger than “regular” 12 shoes.Because they’re new, I can’t speak yet to how they’ll hold up over time, but so far the quality feels encouraging. I’ll update once they’ve been worn more. I also really like the price compared too o other toddler’s shoes.

   Nice but Check sizing chart!
   Great value! I do think they run a little big compared to my toddlers sneaker size so I would recommend maybe looking at the sizing chart and ordering based off of that! My son is a 1 in Nikes and these were a 13.5 and they run big. I should’ve ordered a 12.5 probably a full 1.5 size down from his Nike sizing. Other than the sizing being a bit large overall they are a really nice shoe! They’re well made and don’t seem thin or cheaply made. He did try to wear them and did say they were very comfortable if only a little smaller for him. Overall just look at the sizing chart better than I did and you should be fine! Amazon branded items are always good quality!

   Classy And Upscale Kids Boat Shoe
   These kids boat shoes by Amazon Essentials are the best! They’re an excellent value and a great addition to any child’s wardrobe. They offer impressive quality and are well made, especially considering how affordable they are. I ordered the classic sand color which is absolutely gorgeous. Their classic styling makes them easy to match with so many outfits.I love the faux lace-up design, no need for kids to tie laces. There’s a little effort to slip these on initially but that should improve with regular wear. The padded insoles provide good comfort. The kids size 13 are comfortable and fit true. There’s minimal arch support which is common with similar classic flats. The leather-like upper looks and feels very close to real leather, giving these shoes an upscale appearance. They feel durable enough for regular use and although they are not water resistant, the soles feel sturdy and slip resistant. Overall, these boat shoes offer excellent quality, comfort, and style at a very reasonable price, making them a smart and stylish choice for kids.

   Great Quality Shoes — Just Watch the Sizing
   These boat shoes are actually very nice quality for the price. The material is thick and has the look and feel of leather, the color is attractive, and the stitching is done very well. I originally ordered these for my 2-year-old son to wear in the spring since he currently wears a size 6, but I mistakenly ordered a size 7 without realizing that big kids’ sizing is very different from toddler sizes 🤦🏻‍♀️. What I ended up with is a shoe my son likely won’t fit into for several more years. For anyone who isn’t aware, a big kids’ size 7 is roughly equivalent to a women’s size 9! Aside from my sizing mistake, these shoes are well made and very nice, and maybe my son will get to wear them one day—if they’re still in style by then.

   Nice quality for big kids.
   I think these boat shoes are adorable. They remind me of loafers. They are comfortable and made of good quality materials. They seem to fit my big kid well. He usually wears a size 4, and we purchased a size 5 to give him some room to grow, since he’s going through a growth spurt. They’re easy to use; just slip on and go. My son seems to like them as house shoes so far. We will see how well they hold up to the elements soon. So far, though, they’re as good as expected.

   Great!
   These adorable Amazon Essentials boat shoes have been surprisingly practical for my son. He was in need of new shoes for church and I just love how these look with all of his dressier outfits. They fit well, are true to size for a size 2 and easy to get on and off. We’ve had them about a month and they have held up nicely to regular, rough boy wear. The material is flexible enough to be comfortable without feeling flimsy and good thing too, the soles are narrower but the material allows for his wide feet to fit.They’ve been worn hard and still look good, which is really all I ask of kids’ shoes. Simple, functional, and easy to replace when the next size is needed.

   Like real boat shoes from a distance, pretty bad quality imitation leather, but fits wide feet well.
   First off- My son loves these. The size is true to size, he got a 7 and it fits perfectly (he does have wide feet, so they do work for people with wider feet).However, as an adult who understands quality, they were a pretty big disappointment. They aren’t even passable as leather. They are a cheap imitation of quality boat shoes. They also have very little traction.Ultimately, I am really glad they are comfortable for him, and from a distance the style is good, but on a whole I will stick with the real thing next time and pay a little more for real leather.

   Die Amazon Essentials Bootsschuhe für Kinder haben uns wirklich überzeugt. Sie sehen super schick aus, sind angenehm zu tragen und passen hervorragend zu einem maritimen Outfit, das bei uns besonders beliebt ist. Mein Sohn trägt die Schuhe sehr gerne und fühlt sich darin den ganzen Tag über wohl. Ein gutes Zeichen, gerade bei Kinderschuhen.Der Tragekomfort ist wirklich gelungen. Dank der gepolsterten Innensohle sitzen die Schuhe bequem am Fuß, ohne zu drücken, und lassen sich durch das Slip-on-Design leicht an- und ausziehen. Der imitierte Schnürverschluss verleiht dem Schuh einen klassischen Look, ohne die Handhabung kompliziert zu machen. Praktisch für Kinder und Eltern gleichermaßen wenn es mal wieder schnell gehen darf.Auch optisch machen die Bootsschuhe einiges her. Die typischen nautischen Details wie das umlaufende Schnürsystem sorgen für einen zeitlosen Stil, der sowohl zu festlicheren Anlässen als auch im Alltag gut funktioniert. Ob zur Schule, zu Familienfeiern oder einfach in der Freizeit, die Schuhe lassen sich vielseitig kombinieren.Das verwendete Material wirkt solide und robust, genau richtig für den täglichen Einsatz. Die synthetische Gummisohle bietet guten Halt und macht einen langlebigen Eindruck, auch wenn die Schuhe regelmäßig getragen werden.Insgesamt sind diese Bootsschuhe eine gelungene Mischung aus Komfort, Stil und Alltagstauglichkeit. Für den Preis bekommt man ein sehr ansprechendes Paar Kinderschuhe, das nicht nur gut aussieht, sondern auch gerne getragen wird.

    I ordered these Amazon essentials boat shoes in size 3, in the sand colour variation for my 10year old for use in the spring and summer time. My son doesn’t like wearing socks in the summer, so these shoes will look great on his feet and can be worn as casual wear or dressed up.The shoes are of great quality. The stitching is very good with no loose thread or fraying, even around the short laces. The laces work great, they give way just enough to allow my son to slide his feet in, but not too much so that they fall out when he walks in them. The soles are made from a sturdy rubber, the insoles have some padding and my son says they are very comfortable to wear.They look great on his feet and will go well with his chino shorts in the summer. The sizing is perfect and my sonnsays they don’t pinch or rub anywhere. I am hoping they will last him the whole spring and summer, they look well made so fingers crossed they have a good wear rate. These were £17.40 at the time of writing this review, I feel this is really good value for the decent materials used and the quality of the shoes.

    These aren’t leather, but the quality is decent for the price and they look smart enough for casual wear. Comfort-wise they’re fine for everyday use, though they don’t offer much in the way of support. I’d say they’re best for days when you’re out and about but not doing a lot of walking or standing for long periods.The main issue is the sizing, which is genuinely confusing. I’m usually a 3.5 or EU 36, and these are labelled as a Big Kids 4, but also show 36 in other places on the shoe. The size chart isn’t very helpful unless you already understand Big Kids sizing. If you can find the European equivalent, they do seem true to that size, but it takes a bit of guesswork to get there. Overall, a good value option once you get the sizing right.

    Dieser Bootsschuh ist ein klassischer Schuh, den man gut in jeder Garderobe haben kann. Für unseren vierjährigen Sohn ist es der erste Schuh dieser Art, und optisch gefällt er uns sehr gut.Die Verarbeitung ist in Ordnung, auch wenn man beim Anfassen merkt, dass sie eher einfach gehalten ist. Dennoch sitzt der Schuh gut am Fuß und macht insgesamt einen soliden Eindruck. Positiv aufgefallen ist uns, dass der Schuh nach dem Auspacken keinerlei unangenehmen Geruch hatte, was bei Kinderschuhen nicht selbstverständlich ist.Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis empfinden wir als angemessen. Wie langlebig der Schuh tatsächlich ist und wie sich die Abnutzung, insbesondere im Zehenbereich, entwickeln wird, lässt sich zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt noch nicht abschließend beurteilen.Insgesamt handelt es sich um einen optisch ansprechenden, soliden Kinderschuh mit kleinen Abstrichen bei der Materialanmutung. Daher vergeben wir 4⭐️Auch als Teilnehmerin des Amazon Vine-Programms, bei welchem ich die Testprodukte bis auf die Steuer kostenlos erhalte, lege ich sehr viel Wert auf objektive wie kritische Bewertungen. Als Kundin orientiere ich mich selbst sehr gerne an Rezensionen, deshalb möchte ich meine so hilfreich und ehrlich wie möglich gestalten. Vielen Dank!

    Ich habe als Mann Schuhgröße 39 – 40 und das schränkt einen beim Schuhkauf manchmal ganz schön ein, weil es passende Größen für Männer oft gar nicht gibt. Da war ich recht angetan als ich diese eigentlich für Kinder gedachten Schuhe sah, die es bis Größe 40 gibt.Mir passen sie in Größe 40 perfekt und sie sehen schick aus. Ich habe den Schuh in braun bestellt. Das Obermaterial sieht zwar aus wie Leder, laut Etikett ist es aber Polyurethan.Bei vielen ähnlichen Schuhen ist die Schnürung oft eine reine Deko ohne Funktion. In diesem Fall hier ist das anders. Man kann den Knoten der Riemen lösen, in der benötigten Länge wieder verknoten und den Überhang abschneiden. Das finde ich sehr praktisch, da mir der Schuh sonst zu weit gewesen wäre. Man könnte natürlich auch anstelle des Deko Schürsenkels einen normalen Schürsekel reinziehen.Den Schuh kann man, einmal auf die richtige Breite eingestellt, als Slip-In‘s benutzen. Sie sitzen gut am Fuß, sind weich und bequem.Wie lange sie halten werden, kann ich natürlich noch nicht sagen, aber ich bin erst mal zufrieden.
