Review on ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Stylish and Comfortable Northside Santa Clossed Sandal Little Boys' Shoes and Sandals by Michael Vargas

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Looks great, feels premium, laces stink!

Bought these for my 10 year old daughter when she went to an exciting week long day camp that included hiking, swimming, ziplining, lazy river, running games and even quiet activities like sketching and painting. etc. So we needed a versatile half-tennis, half-sandal shoe like this that we could quickly put on and take off for water and land activities. We wanted a higher quality shoe/sandal than one of those shoes you find at Walmart, Target or your local shoe store. The product arrived on time. These shoes are visually and haptically superior. I wish it had a heel brace with velcro for adjustment but what they had worked. My daughter got it out on the first day, and immediately in camp the bungee cord, like shoelaces, that they had to build in the ghetto to hold them together broke. Disappointing because the rest of the shoe is great. The next day the other laces broke, and she didn't pull too hard, just broke during class. I can understand the breakdown after a few months of wearing, but a day or two, disappointment. The shoes are great. High quality shoes. But when you buy shoes, I would advise you to buy your own laces, because the original laces are weak and will break when you play sports. For me personally, the feeling of the shoes convinced me that we bought good shoes. Didn't expect the laces to be so bad. Unfortunately the day I received the shoes I threw away the return label, receipt and return bag because it was garbage day. I've learned my lesson not to do it again no matter how good the product looks when you first get it.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
