Vincent Shoes: We Really Love Them

When our bloggers were afforded the opportunity to check out Vincent Shoes (specifically their new line of pre-walkers), we found ten very happy bloggers across the board. So in regards to Vincent’s new Spring/Summer 2008 line, our bloggers felt exactly the same way.

Our first group raved about everything from their stylish appearance, to their high quality, to their fantastic customer service. And our second group heartily agreed. Even I was particularly pleased with the Antons and Chrissys, both of which my kids wear on a daily basis. My daughter tends to have extremely difficult to fit feet (with even Stride Rites giving her blisters) and the Vincent Shoes have been a dream.

One mom noted the excellent styles for boys, who really tend to be neglected when it comes to US makers. “Since Ben was born, I’ve been complaining that shoe manufacturers discriminate against boys when designing shoes. So many beautiful girls’ shoes, but the boys’ shoes? They’re utilitarian, sure, but generally clunky and unstylish. Except, that is, for European boys’ shoes. Europeans know how to make shoes. Unlike their U.S. competitors, they make them soft, supple, and cuter than cute.” Another mom of boys had this to say as well “I am not a big fan of the loud character sneakers my boys like to pick out because they just don’t look nice with their clothes but Vincent shoes are a pleasant addition to most outfits.

And if you’ve got kids who like to get down and dirty (I guess that would be all of them), fear not. Vincent shoes clean up easily! “Both pairs of shoes have been worn daily since we received them a month ago and they both still look new. The Orvar clog cleans up easily with a damp cloth and I washed the Rolf pair in the washer after an accidental step in a mud puddle.

Bloggers also commented on the prices, which might seem pricey at first glance, but when matched with other comparable quality shoes, were actually pretty darn good. “These guys have shown me that buying designer shoes doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg and we can’t wait to see what Vincent Shoes has in store for us, next season.” Another mom had this to say: “While it’s true that European kids’ shoes are pricier than (some) American shoes, I think that the cost differential is well worth it. How many times have you bought sneakers at a big box store only to find, within a week, that part of the sole is peeling, or that the light-up feature has broken? It’s happened to me at least four times.
