Slippers for Kids
Leather slippers from Petit Nord
Petit Nord is a Danish brand specializing in making leather clothing and slippers for kids. Especially, Petit Nord's leather slippers are popular and it is understandable why. The design is minimalistic and classic and goes with any kind of outfit. The quality of the leather is among the best and the finish of the stitching is done to perfection. Sometimes, it can be difficult to find a pair of slippers that fit the feet well. However, Petit Nord slippers are basically a perfect fit for most feet, only wide feet may have to look for another pair of slippers. In total, the slippers score 5 out of 5. We cannot think of any drawbacks besides the fact that they are only made to EU size 30.
Original wool and cotton slippers
Giesswein makes the original wool and cotton slippers with natural latex rubber outsoles. The wool slippers are made of 100% pure new wool and are ideal for cold feet during the winter season, while the cotton models are ideal for spring and fall. The slippers come in many different styles but the design for the kids' collection is generally colorful and the slippers are decorated with flowers, princesses, cars or dragon applications. The fairytale applications are usually a hit from the perspective of the kids but the design may at times seem a little too kitch. A small drawback for Giesswein slippers is the varying sizes. EU size, say, 30, may be smaller than average in one style while bigger in a different style. Therefore, you have to watch out when finding the right Giesswein size and look for inside measures when provided. Also, while the midfoot elastic that most slippers have, help the slippers stay on the feet, it is too tight for feet with high insteps. In total, the slippers score 4 out of 5.
Flexible rubber outsole slippers
Superfit slippers have no lacks in terms of quality. Most slippers are made from 100% cotton and have a solid and robust but very flexible rubber outsole. The outsole looks heavy an inflexible but is the opposite. The design for girls is typically very pink or purple and does not lack anything on the flower, gold or girly application account. Superfit slippers for boys usually come with car, motorcycle or dragon applications. The design is probably attracting to boys and girls but, esthetically, the slippers do not score many points. The final score is 4 out of 5.
The ideal usage of the slippers
The quality of all the reviewed slippers is generally high but the differences in materials used, make the slippers ideal for different usages. Superfit slippers have a solid rubber outsole which makes them perfect for kindergarten or school where floors can be wet and dirty. However, for home usage, Petit Nord leather slippers may seem a more comfortable choice because of the soft leather materials. However, Giesswein slippers have a latex rubber outsole which is water resistant but still extremely soft and comfortable which makes the slippers perfect for both usages.
