“I was really looking forward to receiving these and they did not disappoint. Such a lovely, good quality boot and couldn’t wait to try them on my boy! A very lovely boot, I think the nicest boots I’ve ever had to be honest. Simple, sleek and comfortable design that looked fab. The sizing was spot on and they fit beautifully. They were a lovely fit and super comfortable. My boy loved them straight away. I ordered infant size 7. The Velcro straps were super simple and my little boy was able to do this easily by himself – which gets a big thumbs up from mum! These were a beautiful fit and a had a lovely contour to his feet, very high quality which showed in the fit. The comfort and ease of movement was perfect. My little boy was able to wear these all day no problem. Good for walking, running, playing – exactly what is needed for a little persons boot! I had never come across removable soft leather and latex foam insole before and thought it was a fab idea, so good for little growing feet that you can easily keep an eye on. Super easy to use. My boy found these very comfortable and lovely to have peace of mind as a mum knowing your children are in good quality, well-fitting comfortable shoes. The rip tape straps very easy to use. Strong Velcro. Simple enough for my son to do by himself, yet strong enough to keep the boot in place! Perfect! My son wore these in a variety of places and they were great. The park, grass, shopping, climbing – a great all-rounder boot, exactly what you need for this time of year. These were worn every weekend and sometimes in the week after school if we were heading to the park etc. Worn when going out and about and they are great in this weather, knowing they would be good come rain and shine keeping the feet protected. He wanted to wear them knowing that they felt nice and easy enough to take on and off – a winner! I loved how they looked. They were a gorgeous colour and so smart, yet also perfect for every day. They looked such high quality and very cute – we had so many compliments when wearing them. This is definitely a very practical outdoor boot for children. My boy wore them in all weathers and they were great! We also received the suede and nubuck cleaner which was such a nice surprise to have as well. We cleaned them as soon as they arrived and it was super easy and they looked great. Important to have a cleaner for shoes with small boys. This was great, makes the shoe look like new again and so easy and quick to use – exactly what you want as busy parents. The suede and nubuck cleaner is absolutely a good investment for such a good quality boot as this. Spending a little extra to keep them looking great is worth it I think. We were also supplied with the water proof spray and again it was fab to have this and so kind to include it. We waterproofed them straight away and my son wore them a couple of times in the rain and they did the job perfectly. Feet were kept nice and dry, even after a few puddles. The perfect boot for this time of year. Once applied this was absolutely great at keeping the boots looking great and water proof. Perfect for keeping little feet dry and did a great job. When used with the cleaner, great investments for the boot to make them last a long time – which is what you want when spending that little bit extra on a lovely pair of shoes. The suede and nubuck cleaner and water proof spray are definitely a great addition to keeping these boots looking great and protected. They will add lots of life left to the boot to make sure they can be used for a long time! These boots were so easy to clean, easy material to keep clean – even after a long day been worn by a 4 year old boy. Absolutely a boot of such high quality you could pass down to siblings. They are such good quality that you would get years of wear out of them – brilliant! I had never heard of Prenta shoes before but will definitely explore the range in the future. Excellent quality and a very well-made boot. Some of the best shoes we have ever had. I was very impressed as soon as I took them out of the box. They are quite pricey but I do think they offer value for money – a great pair of boots that would last for a long time. I would consider buying another pair, especially buying for my older son in the future – they would look fab on him! So stylish. I would recommend. I have had many compliments about them when my son was wearing them and have told friends about them already.These fab boots get the top mark from us. So gorgeous, comfortable and the perfect stylish boot for little feet. Thank you for letting us review these boots. They will be a firm favourite for my son all through this winter. They are his go to shoes at the moment and they are so comfortable for his little feet. I can easily keep them clean and waterproof and they look so gorgeous on with any outfit. A good quality, well-made boot – thank you.” - Abby – Nate 4 Years

“The first thing I noticed was how high quality the boots felt. They were a lovely shade of purple and the suede material made them look luxurious and good quality. I like the design of the boot, the thicker sole makes them feel premium and I am sure will make them last for longer. They provided good ankle support and looked sturdy and supportive for my daughters feet. They were a little large on the ankle and looked like they were gaping a little, however my daughter said they fitted well and were comfortable. I ordered size 9F. My daughter was able to put these on and take them off herself without any help. When I did manage to convince her to let me help they were easy to use with good Velcro fastenings. In my daughters own words, ‘these are great for jumping’. She did not complain whilst wearing them, so I can only presume they were comfortable. When asked she said they felt nice. My daughter was able to run and jump whilst wearing these shoes. They did not restrict her movement at all and she said they were comfortable. It is always reassuring to know that shoes have some growing room in them, particularly if they are expensive. The foam insole felt nice and cushioned and gave the shoes a more comfortable fit. The ankle collar was a little big for my daughter and her skinny legs, but it didn’t cause any discomfort to her, it just meant that there was a slight gap around her ankles. Both myself and my daughter were able to use these with ease. Once done up, they didn’t come undone whilst wearing. My daughter was able to run, jump and walk in these shoes with no discomfort. She was able to wear them both on paths and more unstable fields when on walks. These were worn a few times a week, primarily on weekends. Ava said that she loved the colour and the feel of the shoes, she said they felt nice and soft. I liked how sturdy they felt, it felt like they would last a long time and not wear out too easily. There was also growing room in the shoe for longevity. These boots are perfect for outdoor wear, particularly once treated with the water proofer spray. We were supplied with the suede nubuck cleaner. I struggled using this initially, but my husband who cleans shoes more regularly than me found it easy to use. This left the shoes looking clean and refreshed, it took a bit of scrubbing but it definitely made them better. This definitely kept the boots looking clean and refreshed for a long period of time. I will definitely use this for other suede items that we own. We were also supplied with the water proofer spray. This was easy to use, you just needed to ensure you applied it to the whole boot. This helped to protect the boots. I was paranoid it wouldn’t work and did apply it a few times to be sure. The water proofer spray worked well and keeps the boots looking great. I think if you are paying a large price for shoes anything that helps to keep them looking good is essential. These boots were easy to keep clean. I found dirt brushed off once dry. These boots will definitely be ideal to pass onto younger siblings. They look and feel well made and will last a long time. I can see them being passed to her younger cousins once outgrown. Given the quality of these boots, I would definitely look into purchasing more of these shoes – I particularly like the funky colours. They are obviously well made and built to last. Just by looking at them you can tell they are not cheap boots and they are good quality. Initially I thought they were quite expensive but once they arrived I realised that the price reflected the quality of the product and they were going to last a lot longer than cheap shoes. I would buy these as they feel good quality, are comfortable and will last a long time without looking worn. I would recommend as they are good quality and look stylish on. Other than being a little large around the ankle I can’t really fault these shoes, they look good, are comfortable and perfect for exploring! What’s not to like. These are well made shoes that come in a range of vibrant colours. They are easy to put on and off, so much so that even young children can do it themselves, helping to promote independence. They look good on and are obviously built to last, the quality shines through. They were a little large around the ankle, but this didn’t make them uncomfortable and my daughter never mentioned them feeling loose. Overall good quality shoes that look and feel great.” Zoe – Ava 4 Years

“My first impression was they look lovely and they look really good quality. The conception design are really good. They fit really lovely. They look really good and the design is perfect for a child. They fit my daughter really well, she has wiggle room in for her toes and they fit really lovely round the foot and ankle. We ordered size 10. Evie can put these on and off herself without any trouble. Evie has been wearing them quite a bit, they are very comfortable. She is a very active child and they have caused her no discomfort at all, and she’s managed to do all her normal activities in them. She has been able to move and do all of her normal activities in these boots. I would say that is definitely effective. The soft leather & latex foam insole is a really great benefit to have first of all, the insole is extremely comfortable for Evie but also it is nice to know that her feet have room to grow and move while she is wearing them. The cushioned ankle collar has been effective. I have found in the past some boots do rub her ankles and we have to wear thicker socks where in these boots we don’t do that. They are comfortable around the ankle which is really lovely for her. The rip tape straps are brilliant, it makes it easy for her to put them on and off herself but also as it states above to make sure they’re secure on her feet is a must when running and doing activities and climbing on park equipment etc. The outsole isn’t obviously as flexible as a trainer would be but they are flexible enough to be very comfortable while moving around and doing activities. My daughter has been wearing them most weekends when she’s not at school they go with a lot of different outfits and they are nice and comfortable and great in the cold weather. At the moment she’s used them mostly for going to parties as that has been most of our weekends however we have been to the park with them on and she’s been able to climb on all of the equipment really well with the boots on and there’s been no slipping or discomfort. Evie said that she liked the fact that they are really comfortable and soft and easy to put on. I like that they are comfortable for her, but also they look really good and they are something that can be worn with nearly every outfit. They’re very flexible universal. I definitely agree that these boots are practical outdoor boots. They are absolutely perfect for the colder weather. We were also supplied with the suede and nubuck cleaner which was really easy to apply and use. Evie has been wearing these boots a lot over the last couple of weeks and they still look as good as new and I definitely have the suede restoring cleaner to thank for that, it’s very affective and does exactly what it says it does. Now that I have used it once it is something I would purchase again in the future to keep all of my suede and nubuck items clean and fresh. We were also supplied with the water proofer spray. I found this waterproof spray very easy to use and it was definitely affective. My daughter has had no problems when it’s been drizzling outside with these boots on. This worked well once applied. These boots are still looking absolutely brilliant and the waterproofing has definitely worked. She’s been able to go out in the drizzle without welly boots and she’s really happy about that. Her feet stay dry and comfortable. This water proof spray definitely keeps the boots looking good and staying dry. These boots are still looking great after a long time due to help of the spray. I think without the spray there would be a few wear and tear marks due to wet and drizzly weather and an active child. I definitely agree the suede cleaner and water proof spray should be purchased along with the boots. You want to keep the boats looking great as long as possible and both of these products really do help with that. I have found these boots easy to clean with help from the products provided. These are definitely high-quality and I can see these being passed down to friends children as Evie is my youngest, but she will definitely be getting a lot of wear out of them before they are passed down. I have already checked out the other shoes and boots in the collection for my oldest as she really loves these ones, but she doesn’t fit in them. I will be making a purchase in the future. The quality is absolutely brilliant. I’m really impressed. I do think they are a good value for money, You get what you pay for and in this case you get a high-quality very comfortable pair of shoes for your child, worth every penny. I would definitely consider buying in the future for my oldest child because she really likes these boots and she doesn’t fit in them, but I will also be buying again for my youngest when she grows out of these. I would definitely recommend these to friends and family they are real high-quality boot and not one that I’ve heard of before so I assume some of my friends and family won’t have heard of them either so it’s nice to be able to introduce them to a brand that is so good and I think so highly of. Top marks no hesitation these boots are brilliant. My overall experience has been really positive. I’m very fussy when it comes to shoes for my children. I like them to be comfortable and flexible and easy to move around in as well as to be able to put them on and off themselves, these boots do everything you want them to do, their comfortable they’re easy to put on the quality of the material is top-notch and they are lovely looking. I am really impressed and I will definitely be making a purchase in the future. Thank you for allocating these to us, I really loved these boots and will be using this brand in the future”.
