Customer Reviews Livie & Luca Ruche (Toddler/Little Kid)

I'd ordered these same shoes through 3 sizes because they're comfortable, versatile, look great, and very well made. Round 4 was completely different. So much so that I thought they were knockoffs. The insole didn't come out anymore and the sole was no longer the soft rubber but more like hard, cheap plastic. The shoes (Gold) weren't colored that same as each other, one being much more gilded AND one shoe was partially stitched with black thread, instead of white like rest of the shoe and its mate. I emailed them, thinking they were knockoffs, and they said that they were indeed real Ruche and that they had changed manufacturers and were working on shoe quality. Indeed! I've since switched to Old Soles. I don't like the designs quite as much, but the quality and fit is on par with original Livie & Luca shoes.

My daughter has had a pair of Cornflower Blue Ruche shoes in the past and we loved them. They were very well made and lasted her nearly a year. I ordered these (dark brown) and they felt cheaply made. The leather strap was super thin and seemed like it would rip off easily. Same for the rest of the shoe. It wasn't the thick leather our previous pair was made of so I returned them.

These are adorable shoes tagt are the perfect gold without being too bright and they go with a lot of outfits from dresses to leggings and a top. My 2 1/2 year old wears a 7 in all shoes and the 7 in these fit her as well. Some Livie shoes run big as I’ve seen in the past but I thought these were pretty true to size.

I love the shoes and the color. My daughter uses size US 4 now and I ordered next size up US 5 but the size is like two size up, too big for my daughter's so I am little bit disappointed. I should have guess order the same size that she uses now but it would have been nice if the description would have mentioned the shoe runs large. Had to return the shoes and don't have time to order other pair because the christening event is this weekend.

These shoes had great style and quality materials. They do run big. My daughter wears a 9 1/2 in Saucony Jazz and fit a 9 (with growing room) in these.

This is our second pair of shoes in this style (the first held up pretty well when my daughter was around 18 months old - now she's 3, so we'll see how they stand up to harder play). I disagree with other reviewers that indicated the sizing was off (felt too large) in these shoes. My daughter measures around 8.5 - I ordered an 8 and 9 and will keep the 9, as the 8 *just* fit with no room to grow. Only thing that seems it could be a problem for others is the strap length - on my daughter's medium width feet, the strap just reaches across.

I buy these every year. The color matches everything and they are the cutest with out compromising comfort. Easy to run in all day!

Amazing!!!my daughter love it so much!!!!

Beautiful shoes!

I ended up returning these they do run 1 size large. But the style is very cute.

Livie and Luca are the best shoes I have ever bought for my granddaughter. She is 4, and I think we've had at least 6 pair. *she loves them! *Wear like iron! Never, ever, scuff, not even the metallic colors. She plays on playgrounds, runs in the grass, climbs. I have never had one pair fall apart in any way... still look new when she outgrows them *Easy for her to put on herself, the velcro holds and lasts, good support *So versatile. Great for school, church, parties, etc... These have been her main school shoes and hold up through lots of active play. *Real leather true to size *Dress up and down however, they seem to be getting a little too pricey. I wish they could keep them in the $60 range, but I know things are getting more expensive and they are real leather.

Extremely stylish and comfy shoes for a toddler/little girl. They are made out of genuine leather and wonderfully complement any outfit! I feel so happy about having discovered this outstanding brand for myself.

Very stylish uniform shoe, fit was slightly large.

My daughters favorite shoe that she grabs each time. Our first pair was a hand me down and I believe this is her fifth pair. Roomy width and very flexible and cushioned sole.

Cute, comfortable shoe to go with all outfits!! It's our go to shoe!

These shoes were a perfect fit for my almost 4 yo daughter. She is very picky about how shoes feel on her feet and she loves these and will happily wear them every day.

So cute! Go with everything! Super comfortable!

On our fourth pair of this shoe! Little pricey but very worth it. She LOVES this shoe for play and dressier occasions.

My daughter loves these shoes. We are on our second pair. She loves that she can put them on and take them off all by herself. She can wear them with anything and they never rub or seem to hurt her feet. They do run about one size too large. We always size down and they are the perfect fit.

We love these shoes for our little girls. The are extremely well made and make great hand-me-downs looking brand new even after 2 years. Highly recommend as they are great for dressing up and play.

Very cute!

This is the second pair we bought since my daughter outgrew the first on, They are easy to put on and very comfortable as per her report. In fact, the only way i could get her to part with the first pair which had grown too small, was to show her the new pair!

Love these shoes and have purchased them many times for my girls over the years. Can be worn with or without socks and have never caused any blisters. Definitely size down. This style runs at least 1/2 a size big, if not a full size in my experience.
