About Vincent Shoes
Swedish designers Patrick Österman and Thomas Elbaum are the creative forces behind the Vincent™ shoe brand. The birth of Thomas’ nephew, Vincent, in 1998 and their subsequent disappointment with a lack of high quality, stylish children’s shoes, sparked their desire and initiative to design a fun, fashionable and functional shoe brand. Patrick and Thomas derive their inspiration for Vincent kids shoes from global fashion trends and what’s seen on the runways of Paris, Milan, London and New York, though the result of their efforts is Vincent shoes 100 percent focused on kids.
Good quality shoes for little kids are important for little growing feet. I just recently got the chance to review a pair of Vincent shoes for the boys. I picked out the Joakim style , simply because I like how they look. These laid back kicks are so cool and look to be quite comfortable and lightweight. As with any shoe, my first test was to see if the soles are flexible. The soles offer good support yet offer enough flexibility for little feet. Shoes that don’t move with a child are just a disaster in my opinion.
The shoes have an all leather inside and outside with suede accents and wavy white stripes, as well as, an easy velcro closure ( a feature I love). There is nothing like trying to tie a shoe on a wiggle worm toddler. It’s like wrestling a bull sometimes to get one shoe tied. These shoes are quick and easy to put on. The tips of the shoes are also reinforced by a rubber sole which is really great for little feet. That is the first place that the boys shoes show signs of wear. You can dress them up or down and they look great with jeans. Shoes never excited me before, but I love them on their little feet! They are available in four irresistible colors. The only drawback is, I wish they made these shoes for me!
The Joakim retails for ($60) and are well worth the extra money if you want a shoe that is going to stand the test of a busy and active toddler! I will be keeping these shoes at the top of my favorite list. I love these shoes!!
