As the long summer days arrive and your sons are playing outside in the warmer and lighter evenings, the question parents often ask, when looking for new boys summer shoes, is whether they should stick with the reliable qualities of leather boys shoes or if a lighter canvas boys shoe might be the way to go?

Leather is still largely thought of as being the best material for making boys shoes out of. Not only does leather's flexibility make it good for both the design and manufacturing process, ensuring a quality and comfortable boys shoe at the end of the process, but also the porous quality of leather means that sweat produced by hot and sticky boys feet can escape out of the shoes.

Leather is also relatively easy to clean, which is handy as most boys are experts at getting their shoes dirty. It only takes five minutes to dust down dirt and brush off mud from a pair of boys leather shoes and, where relevant, a weekly polish can keep boys shoes looking as good as new.

Primigi boys leather shoes Hiago and Bonthy are excellent examples of quality, Italian style, leather summer boys shoes. Primigi incorporate several core manufacturing principles in the design process to ensure that your son gets the best boys shoes possible. Both Primigi Hiago and Primigi Bonthy have been manufactured in line with these principles.

Lightness
Light materials, for the shoes construction, are chosen with care. This helps to ensure that these Primigi boys shoes are developed to give your son all the freedom of movement required when he wears them.

Flexible action
The flexibility of these Primigi boys shoes is created through specially manufactured channels etched into the sole to make it thinner, and by the carefully chosen soft materials used to manufacture the part of the midsole located near to the flex point.

Sky Effect
The special Sky Effect System insole, used in these Primigi Boys shoes, is made using top quality materials, lined with soft leather to ensure that the connection between your son's feet and his shoes remains as natural as possible.

Removable insole
The insoles on these Primigi boys shoes can be removed so that they can be cleaned, as and when required, and aired naturally to dry. This helps to keep the inside of Primigi boys shoes clean and helps to maintain a level of hygiene.

Soft Comfort
Both Primigi Bonthy and Primigi Hiago are designed to maximise comfort and security through the detailed development process and the expert choice in the components used for these boys shoes. These Primigi boys shoes let your son's feet move without unnecessary restraint, yet still protect using the softest appropriate lining.

Anti Shock
An anti shock system is developed into these Primigi boys shoes to keep your son's feet safe from bumpy pavements, rocky hills and any rough ground that they may encounter on their daily fun adventures. A special area has been created on the sole unit, above the heel, which will absorb any tiny shocks experienced when your son is out and about.

Easy Fit
Primigi boys shoes have been especially developed to ensure that the best fit is obtained by studying and reproducing, where relevant, the shape of children's feet. The Primigi boys shoes are also not only designed to ensure that the they are as comfortable as possible for your son to wear, but that they are also easy for you as parents to take off your boy's feet and put back on again.

Ergonomic Shape
The right shape for your son's feet has been developed for both Primigi Hiago and Primigi Bonthy. These Primigi boys shoes are expertly manufactured to ensure the right amount of room is left to keep the foot free, yet also keep it secure.

Both Primigi Hiago and Primigi Bonthy are very practical shoes from Primigi and will be perfect for your little boy, not only during the summer but also at any time of the year. Both these Primigi boys shoes are available in blue and have a soft leather uppers and soft leather lining. They both come with a removable leather footbed with antibacterial treatment that helps to keep feet comfortable. Both Primigi boys shoes come with two adjustable Velcro straps, to keep the Primigi shoe secure around the foot, and a chunky rubber sole that is formed over the toe for added protection.

However, for all the benefits of leather Primigi boys shoes, Primigi boys canvas shoes are still well worth considering. The Primigi College boys canvas shoes are part of the Primigi Sports range and are available in Navy blue or Red. These Primigi boys shoes have a canvas fabric upper and a fabric footbed. Two Velcro straps ensure the best fit possible and a chunky rubber sole, that comes up over the toe, gives added protection.

Many of the excellent Primigi design features mentioned above are also used in the design of the Primigi College canvas boys shoes, and since they retail at about two thirds of the price it can be difficult to decide which option to go for - leather boys shoes or canvas boys shoes? However, since it's always a good idea for children to have more than one pair of shoes why not buy a pair of each!
