Review on ACE Black Boys' Shoes by Deer Stags in Oxfords by Mike Larkin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Doesn't last more than an hour even if you are careful

I bought these shoes for my 8 year old son for Halloween as they look like street clown shoes. He only wore them for about an hour and a half. Eventually I scratched it somewhere, and the brown coating was scraped off by a boot. While I know this is not a quality shoe built to last, I was hoping to use it more than once. My son has actually been very careful as he is taking care of his costume which he plans to wear to Comic-Con and a costume party in the near future. I hope I can cover the white part (the shoes are white under the thin brown plastic coating) with a brown marker. This shoe is ok if you use it for a photo. These are not shoes that will stand up to repeated use or even an event lasting more than an hour, even if you are extremely careful. Definitely don't buy these if you intend to wear a school uniform - I recommend spending the extra $10-$15 on leather shoes. Also note that these shoes are very stiff - I bought shoes for my son in the same size. like his adidas sneakers (size 1). When the shoes arrived I compared them to his sneakers and put them bottom to bottom. Although these shoes are significantly longer, they are difficult to put on because there was no deformation when they were opened. For that reason I could probably order half a size bigger, but they wouldn't look huge on his foot. I found it interesting as some of the reviewers said they were big.

Pros
  • Clothing, shoes and jewelry
Cons
  • Slightly torn
