Customer Reviews Naturino Catania (Toddler/Little Kid/Big Kid)

Gorgeous shoe, but sizing is way off. My daughter is a Big Kid size 4.5, but the size 5 (36 European) was at least a size and a half too small. Too bad a 38 isn’t available or I’d reorder in a second. If your daughter is younger than mine, get this shoe! Just order up 2 Euro sizes. Naturino makes quality shoes and the last maryjanes we bought from them lasted two years, through both my girls! Primigi is a good alt if you’re looking for bigger sizes.

I am returning to get a smaller size. The sole will be great for a little girl who loves to wear dresses to preschool. Non slip sole.

My daughter's favorite all time shoe. I hate that we outgrew the red ones... but the black are great too. On our 3rd or 4th pair now. Good support, no slipping, comfort so she can run all day, and holds up great. We use them as everyday shoes, not just dress up.

I never write reviews, but here I am trying to save you the headache! This is the worst shoe my twin daughters could have ever owned. ONE WEAR! YES ONE WEAR for 3 hrs on their 1st day of school and the sole was completely trash by the time they got home. The shoes were garbage and I’m not exaggerating in any way. I’m posting some pictures for reference. I asked my daughters what did they do at school, what could they possibly have done for the sole to fall apart? NOTHING you all. They didn’t even played outside, they only toured their school (walking!!!) so disappointed on this shoes! Save yourself the headache and do not order this, yes they look super cute but probably just for a picture, this are not shoes to walk on!

Absolutely love the shoe, just had to go a half size up.

The fit was true to size, if slightly narrow. The quality, however, has greatly declined. We've been buying these shoes for 4 years as part of my daughter's required uniform. The last two shoes have completely disintegrated. Both shoes have lasted less than 3 months. Inside lining falling apart and the outside also shedding. The worst part is when I contacted Naturino, they said there was nothing they could do. Avoid this brand if you can.

I bought these shoes for my daughter to wear with her school uniform. The first day of school was a 1/2 day so wore the shoes indoor for only 3 hours. When I picked her up, the soles of shoes looked like she walked on hot tar. The rubber soles are peeling like burnt rubber on a car tire. She wore the same shoe three years ago and they held up the entire school year. Must have received a defective pair. I have attached photos.

My daughter has only worn these 2 weeks for school so far and they are defective, both inside soles have separated from the shoe. School just started here, I paid over $70 for these shoes and she already needs a new pair as the inside sole being in this condition can cause skin breakdown.

I am so disappointed in these shoes. They were comfortable and attractive and seemed to be holding up well due to the rubber toe box. HOWEVER- the velcro on both shoes came off and can't be worn. I always thought PediPed was a good quality brand but I'm very disappointed with these shoes as we have only been wearing them for 8 weeks. What a waste of money.

True to size.

They are so cute ? and comfortable. My daughter loves them!

Soft leather which makes for a comfortable wear.

The shoes were a perfect fit. They are perfect school shoes, and are compliant with our school’s uniform guidelines. The patent leather and style are attractive.

On the hunt for sturdy school shoes for a 5 year old that meet a strict uniform code. Bought 10 pairs to solve the puzzle in one shot. This pair in size 29 was our winner. For reference, we measured for a 11.5 on Zappos. This kid has traditionally worn Livie and Luca or See Kai Run shoes because she has slightly wider feet. We tried a couple models: Stride Rite in W (too wide), a pair of Footmates (too narrow, even with the "wide" insert), Hush Puppies in W (maybe the width was fine but she hated the cushion in the heel). She put these Naturinos on and declared the search over. They are really traditional looking (we needed that), exceptionally well constructed, and comfortable out of the box (not stiff, smooth interior seams). These were the most expensive, unfortunately, but if we make it most of the school year at this price, I'm okay with that.

The European sizes do not typically account for US half sizes very well.

Very good construction and looks nice on. This size fit a size 3. The 33 was a little small and these fit well.

Excellent shoe; pretty and good quality. I reordered in a half size larger. My daughter generally wears between a 2 1/3 or 3 and depends on the socks she wears.

My daughter has narrow feet. These dress shoes work well for her. She used to wear Jumping Jacks’s narrow models, but we cannot get those any longer. These work well instead.

These are great dressy shoes and with quality materials for my daughter. My daughter has a narrow foot and this brand works a bit better than others for her. (Jumping Jacks Mary Janes, which came in narrow sizes, was our previous “go to,” but they are no longer available.). This is our second pair and they run true to size.

Beautiful shoes. Well built and with good support.

I love these shoes. Since my daughter started attending school I’ve been buying 2 pairs of these shoes each year in different sizes since she’s a growing child. Not only are these shoes stylish but they are very strong and durable.

This shoe is perfect for school or other dressy occasions. Looks good and feels great.

My daughter wears a US size 13 in sneakers and a Euro size 31 fit just right. Design was simple which made a great school uniform shoe. The only thing I see it that it may scuff up rather easily at the toe. Otherwise a comfortable shoe.

Adorable but very narrow and limited flexibility

Ordered a 3.5 my daughter is a 3 and she said it was squeezing her foot all over with and w/out socks. Have to return.
