Customer Reviews Tsukihoshi Kids Mako H&L 2 (Little Kid/Big Kid)

Love the look of these shoes. My son loved them two. THey didn't even last 2 months, however. They have huge holes on the side of both shoes within 6 weeks! He still wears them but there are huge holes in them. I do love how lightweight these shoes are and knowingly adjusted our size order based on past experience with sizes being 1 size larger. These are our 5th pair but the last 2 pairs have worn out too fast for me to want to purchase again.

Once I finally got the right size (three pairs later!), my son loves these shoes. The sizing is an absolute mystery though. Even though I measured my son’s feet and ordered the size that corresponded in their sizing guide, they were still huge. His old shoes are the same brand but different style, and he ended up fitting into a new pair that’s a size and a half DOWN from what he was wearing. It makes no sense.

My kids loved the look of these shoes. They are very well constructed, but if you live in a rainy area you may want to look at a shoe that’s waterproof. Halfway through the school year these smelled like zoo dirt.

These run huge. My son wears a 12 in Keen, Vans, Saucony.. these were about 2" too long. Sad, because he really loved them and tried to convince me to keep them. :/ They need to go back.

Very light, and super comfortable and great for Miami climate. My son only likes this brand (his 7th pair) for comfort but All Tsukihoshi shoes are not built to last long. I have accepted that it will only last 9 months or so but this pair seemed to have lasted 3 months and another one 1 month. The mesh is not strong and just ripped. It also freys along the top back. I love that my son loves them, but as a Mom who has to pay these prices, it needs to be stronger and last longer!

Buyer beware - there is a significant error in the labeled sizing on these shoes. I ordered a US size 3, which should be equivalent to 21.6cm per standard size charts. The label shows the US size as equivalent to the UK size (which should be 1 size smaller than US) and equivalent to 23cm. Believe the length in centimeters, not the listed shoe size. I tried sizing down to a US size 2 but this was still a little too big for my kid’s feet. I would estimate these shoes are 1 - 1.5 sizes larger than indicated. The shoes otherwise look nice and well-made but we ultimately gave up and went with a different shoe.

These were for my 6 y.o. Nice colors and looked good for a few months, but got soft and worn out through the school year, even though not wearing them all the time or for sports. They have no arch support and my child's feet turn in noticeably when wearing them.

Lasted for a couple month, then a large hole showed up in the side. This has happened to the last three pairs we've purchased from this brand, I reached out directly to the company and they didn't care.

My son loved these, they have worn well he has worn them often and hard and they are standing up. The problem is the sizing, I followed the guides and ordered what I thought would be a 1/2 size up as we were going into winter and I anticipated him wearing his winter boots more and I wanted these to last through spring. They were huge - we tried these after being in plae shoes. His plae 11 were very tight. I followed the guides for these and ordered a 12- they are still two inches too big :) So these shoes definitely run long.

Really disappointed! Every pair I’ve bought of this brand has been of excellent quality, until this pair. There was a hole in the fabric within a month!

It was much much too narrow.

Very thin sole. Sending back because not enough cushion for running.
