As my son's feet continue to grow, I was looking for a nice, leather dress shoe for several upcoming events. He usually wears a youth size 7 (lace-ups). I decided to take a chance and order this pair. Upon arrival, my son tried the shoes on with his dress socks. His heel slipped. They were slightly too big. However I don't think he could wear a smaller size and his feet are constantly growing. Our solution - he wears them with his black Nike sports socks, which are thicker. He said it works and also commented that these shoes are lightweight and very comfortable. In my opinion, they are the best bargain you will find in a quality leather slip-on.
The shoe was a bit loose for my son who has a medium foot, he had to wait a few months before being able to wear the shoe. This shoe is very comfortable and durable. I have bought this style for my son for his school uniform for the past 4 years. The front does not wear out easily, though their school playground was concrete therefore other shoes used to wear out in the front. He would wear this shoe through out the year if not for the growth sprouts. I highly recommend this brand of Florsheim shoes.
Admittedly, my son's foot is wide- which is why we bought a wide size. This shoe was still extremely snug. It was also a bit small, since we ordered a half size up and it was still a bit tight on his foot (and challenging to get on). That said, this shoe looked great and wore well with his suit. It looks to be of decent quality, though time and wear will tell me more.
These shoes are really holding up well. My son has to wear them once a week for a full day at school. Last year, we selected a slightly less expensive pair, and they looked pretty bad after only a couple of weeks. He can be rough on shoes - we get keen for regular wear. This year, we got these for school, basically going for the brand name despite the iffy reviews (the previous shoes had an unknown brand and great reviews) and we've been very happy with them. He's been wearing them one day a week for about 6 months and they only show light wear. I just checked the edges, and I don't see any sign of the leather separating from the bottoms like in some of the reviews. I'm writing this review while ordering a new pair the next size up.
I bought these shoes for my son, the shoe are very nice just not to crazy about the bottom of them.
My son has been wearing these shoes since 2019. I bought them a little large. He has officially out grown them and they still look brand new. He plays soccer, runs in mid, slides around on the floor and all sorts of crazy things that have torn up all his previous shoes. I’m VERY impressed with how well they have held up. So much so I’ve ordered him a second pair.
My son complained about this shoe for about the first 10 min. because he was used to wearing sneakers. After 10 min he announced that they were comfy and he liked them. So it took just 10 min. for the shoes to wear in. Yay! I also should mention that we ordered the wide width and they fit great. They will be his First Communion shoes so I want him to like them and be comfy, thinking about his First Communion, not his shoes bugging him on his special day.
These shoes are amazing. While I have just purchased this new pair, my grandson (age 8) had the same shoe last year in a smaller size. It wore like iron. He went to school, played on a playground, came home & climbed trees and rode his bike with them on. Needless to say they took a beating, but still looked great. In fact, his younger cousin got them and wears them to church on Sundays. Both boys say the are very comfortable.
