Review on 👞 Nautica Kids' Breakwater Toddler Chukka Boot: Sturdy and Stylish Footwear for Little Adventurers by Patrick Matin

I first bought these shoes at a department store without my son. They were too small and I couldn't get out of town to the mall to swap out the family photos I was planning, so I ordered a new pair from here. They had some differences that made me doubt their authenticity, one of which was that the sole was different. There were others. These shoes have been worn less than 4 months and are in terrible condition. The "skin" peels off very badly and the boot falls apart where it meets the rubber perimeter on the toes and sides of the foot. Because of this, I swore to my husband that I would never buy shoes from Amazon again. I'm sure this isn't real Nautica. How do we know if what we are buying is legal?
