Osprey Kids Wetsuit Boots, Neoprene Boots for Kids, Aqua Anti-Slip Boots, Multiple Sizes

Great quality boots, perfect for keeping toes warm, comfortable and safe when sailing. Have lasted the whole of the summer season and can be washed and put away for my next child to use. Fit as expected and item just as described. Really pleased, with these!

Fit to size and they are good quality, easy to put them on and good quality!

Well done Osprey on that one! I purchased this for my 9-year old, and to be used in cold UK waters, for walking mainly on rocky and sandy beaches, for playing in water-pools at the beach, and for bodyboarding/surfing. Overall, we are more than satisfied: 1) The shoe fits well and is snug enough not to be lost when operating in the water, particularly in waves; 2) It is well articulated and its sole flexible (which is better when walking) and yet thick enough to cushion the sole of the foot. We also like the anti-slip sole (little rubber studs) and the extra padding from the removable inner sole (practical to dry the shoe faster); 3) The neoprene is of good quality and, at 2mm of thickness, warm enough for late spring to early autumn water temperatures. It also stretches nicely so that the foot can be slipped into it easily, whilst contracting about the foot for a comfortable fit. The fabric does not rub against the skin as with lesser quality products; 4) We like the velcro strap, which closes the fabric around the ankle; 5) The tip of the shoe/toes and the heel are protected with rubber recesses, which is good against impacts; 6) After a spin in the washing machine, the shoe dries quickly overnight. 3 minor caveats: 1) I found that the width of the shoe follows UK measurements pretty well (my child is an F), but its length is longer than expect (a size 2 feels more like a 2.5 or a 3). But, I wouldn't worry about this, and it gives children spare space to grow into the shoe; 2) Some stitched seams unravelled in 2 very small areas, around the ankle. This can happen with other products, so I cannot judge if this is systematic for this brand. That said, we caught it on time and stitched it back without any problem. Those things happen, although I'd recommend that the manufacturer ensures that stiches are strong and properly knotted for what is a product that is used in aggressive conditions; 3) After a few uses, the fabric split a little over 3 cm around the big toe of one of the shoes. I wasn't able to determine whether this was due to stress and a weak fabric, or a stress point in that particular shoe or our use of the product (maybe my child caught the shoe against a rock or a sharp object). So, I can only report the situation, rather than give an explanation as the origin of that damage. But, the shoe can still be used (the fabric is not torn) and will be repaired soon. Conclusion: For the price, it's a very good and satisfactory product, particularly if you're planning to use it over the holidays and don't want to spend on a more expensive brand. Note: Rinse (with fresh water) and dry your shoes and inner soles separately. Don't expose them to direct sunlight for long periods of time (e.g., when drying them), which degrades neoprene and rubber, and they will last longer!

Great wee pair of boots. Kid loved them and kept his feet warmer and safe against rough ground, rocks and jellyfish.

I had it before and last me a long time. So this is a repeat order.

Perfect for the beach. The children used them all day!

These are unfortunately very poor quality. The sole detached within a few days of use and we had to finish the week sailing barefoot. The sole is glued on and quite heavy and starts peeling off the neoprene rather quickly with normal use. Avoid and get a different design.

Bought as my son was doing 2 days of watersports and was concerned his water shoes would come off (as they have before), figured with these being boots they’d stay on - which they did! He said they were comfy (if a little big) and he liked wearing them. Not terrifically easy to get off when wet. Easy to wash. The reason for 3 stars is that after those two days the shoes have started to wear already, they’ve been used a couple more times (once at the beach and once for another 2 hours of watersports) and the wear is very apparent. I know this can happen with these sorts of shoes but I did expect better from this brand at this price, so am a bit disappointed. They will last the summer but not beyond, and certainly won’t be in good enough condition to pass on to a second user - therefore creating more waste.

CONFORME A LA DESCRIPTION

PERFETTE

Si sono sfasciate al primo uso, rese e rimborso ricevuto.

Chausson utilisé pour le surf de très bonne qualité et a un prix très correct.

Der Schuh wurde von meiner Tochter gerade 2 x getragen und schon riss er aus allen Nähten. Bei näherem hinsehen kann man die schlechte Qualität der Verabeitung deutlich erkennen. Die gesamte Sohle ist nicht sauber mit dem Oberschuh verklebt. Überall gibt es Zwischenräume. Jeder Cent ist hier zu viel. Lieber nochmal 10 Euro drauflegen und etwas Gescheites kaufen. Der Verkäufer sollte sich schämen so einen Schrott auf den Markt zu werfen. Eine echte Verschwendung von Rohstoffen und Arbeitskraft.
