I admit it. I’m a shoe snob. Not so much about my own shoes although I do own a pair of Jimmy Choos that I covet but about my kids shoes. I love Target knock-offs but when it comes to shoes I’ve learned that it’s best to go with the best. Their shoes don’t hold up that well and the three pairs of Target tennies I bought last fall for one child cost me more than one pair of good shoes.
This is why I love Vincent shoes. They are a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. Not only are they durable but also very adorable.
Vincent Shoes came to fruition when a Swede and his partner couldn’t find a suitable shoe to gift his nephew, Vincent. They started designing their own shoes and within a year they opened a store in Stockholm. Nearly ten years later they are still designing fun, fashionable, and functional children’s shoes. I have bought several pairs of European shoes for my kids over the years and I have always been impressed by their quality and durability.
Recently I received two pairs of Vincent Shoes to review. The Rolf style in pink for my eight year old daughter …
andanddddddddddddddddddddd
and Orvar in blue for my two year old daughter. They both LOVE their Vincent Shoes.I asked my eight year old to share what she loves best about her Rolf shoes. She very enthusiastically replied that she loves the colors, especially the pink and that all her friends want a pair just like them. She loves that they are easy to put on and take off because of the stretchy elastic on the sides. She also loves how the bumps on the bottom keep her from slipping and she most definitely runs faster when she’s wearing them.
She could sell shoes!
My two year old is too young to tell me how much she loves her Orvar smiley face shoes but her wearing them to bed the first week is a pretty good indicator that she likes them a lot. I love them too! I’ve always been a big fan of Swedish clogs not only because I like the look of them but also because of how easy a toddler can put them on and off. If you are a mom of a toddler you know that toddlers like to put shoes on “all by myself”.
The Orvar clog boasts:
- All-leather upper
- Real-wood platform with thin rubber sole for traction
- Decorative silver rivets for a retro look
The smiley face is quite charming and she received compliments on them everywhere we went. It’s hard to be in a bad mood with such happy looking shoes.
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. You would have thought she had hurt herself with how my eight year old overreacted about her muddy shoe. Thankfully they came out of the washer looking new again. Machine washing is not recommended but luckily the shoes and I survived the mud puddle ordeal.
Vincent Shoes are in European sizes but their shoe fitter guide, an intuitive and innovative online shoe sizing system acts as almost a personal shoe fitter so you can feel confidant in your shoe size selection.

Those shoes are soooo cute! I like cute shoes too!
I think that is what all Mom’s love. A pair of shoes that might cost more but will hold up and still look like new. I knwo I ahve gotten shoes that were cheap and they look like she has had them for years after only a month. I too agree shoes are worth spending cash on. Great review and adorable shoes!
