Review on Sperry Authentic Original Medium Boys' Shoes for Little Feet by Brion Pine

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Child prices = no adult quality

I'm an unusually small adult, so I often have to buy boy-sized shoes. Sperry is supposed to be a good brand, so I bought two pairs of these pumps (boys size 5): one in nubuck, one in leather. Over the course of a summer, both pairs stretched quite a bit until they were no longer secure on my legs. The skin began to tear easily at pressure points and discolored. Eventually, the leather laces broke on one pair. I wish Sperry had made shoes for kids with the same high quality materials they use for adult shoes. I'd rather spend 80 euros for shoes that last and look good than 50 euros for shoes of the same style but a little smaller and made of poorer materials.

Pros
  • The timeless design of this shoe makes it a versatile choice for any outfit, be it for school or the weekend.
Cons
  • Cannot be machine washed
