Nice shoes, Fits well and it is comfortable
Great shoes. These Stride Rite sneakers are breathable and look great. Plus, I love it that you can order the shoes Wide because my son has a wide feet. These are my son's favorite shoes to wear. Great buy. Highly recommend it.
My 5 year old loves these and we get compliments everytime he wears them, easy to get on (for him) great fit and quick dry
Shoe length is fine. However, The strap is too small and squeezes the foot when fastened. I let my son wear them today to see if they would stretch a little. He kept complaining and taking them off. I’m wondering if a half size up may help. He should’ve been fine in these because he still fits in some of his 7s. This is his first pair of 8s.
This is a great brand of shoe. Unfortunately it's too small for his little fat foot so while it does go on ok we can strap it closed. I think if the Velcro strap was longer it would be perfect. I guess the top of his little toddler fat chunky foot is contributing to it not fitting so other than that it's a great fit and shoe. So be advised that if your little one has a chunky foot it may not fit properly. I guess I should have went a size even bigger.
Comfortable and great summer shoes as they are breathable, but also closed toe.
Purchased for my 2 yo to wear to daycare. He seems to like them. He wears with thin sock and w/o.
I bought this brand because they have always been great quality. I cannot complain about the quality of these sandals either. What I am disappointed with is the way the interior of the sandal is constructed (the design is flawed, not the execution). I needed a sandal that my 3yr old could wear without socks when playing in the sprinkler. These seemed perfect. They fit well and were very comfortable in the house. Unfortunately, there is a seam that caused blisters on both of my kid’s feet within a couple hours of playing in them in a dry environment. The offending area is on the inside of the shoe where the front strip of leather is attached to mesh. The inside construction is a layer of fabric sewn onto the bottom side of the leather strip, but the raw edge of the leather still rubs against the little toe of the wearer. I wish I would have known this before I let my kid wear them outside. I would have definitely returned them. $40ish wasted dollars.
