Saucony Excursion Shield Alternative Closure Girls' Shoes: Stylish and Secure Footwear for Active Girls Review

Bought this for our son for our hike/hike. It is very sweet and very well filled, but runs a bit small. It's not uncomfortable for him, but it makes it a little harder to put on. Maybe next time I'll buy a wide one.

The rubber bands on my son's boots started snapping shortly after purchase. Also, the back of one boot was smashed when my son put them on and then couldn't be repaired. I wouldn't buy them again.

This is the first pair of shoes I haven't had to change for my five year old in two months. I've never had this problem with my eldest son, but my 5 year old is very picky about shoes. They held up really well for eight months and replaced them because he outgrew them. The only comment is that they are narrow like Nike sneakers. After a few weeks they will have widened a bit, but if your child has wide feet, you should look elsewhere.

Its central part is narrower than that of other brands of shoes of the same length. My son obviously didn't feel comfortable when he tried it on for the first time. I have no choice but to return it.

So far, so good. Let's see if they last more than three months for my busy six year old son. They are well made and look beautiful.

I was very happy that my son got these shoes as he needed new sneakers for the summer. I ordered them a size larger than he currently wears so they will last all summer. They are very difficult to break through. I thought he only had to put them on a couple of times to stretch but they are still difficult to put on. He likes them but struggles to attract them and is very frustrated.

For the price it's ok. I don't know if they stand up to everyday wear or are comfortable enough for everyday use but we have a shoe rotation for our 6 year old and they fit now. They are light so they are good as a backpack on winter days when wearing boots to school.

A bit narrow and could probably go far. Love the shoes but after a week of wearing the rubber on the front of the shoe started to loosen.

Shoes should be wide. I can hardly put it on my child's leg. Won't open because of the elastic straps for the laces. If I could find a carrier for baby shoes they might work. Great shoes, my little one wants to wear them. He can spend an hour or two in there before complaining. I would send them back. The original packaging was thrown away for Christmas.

The color is exactly the same as the picture, bright and cute. My 8 year old daughter says the shoes help her run fast. They were uncomfortable at first but I think that's quite normal. She says she likes them and hasn't complained about sore feet, so they seem to be working.

I was so happy to find velcro sneakers in a large kid size because my 9 year old son still can't tie his laces and keep them tied. And since he's always in a hurry to play with his friends at school, he never wants to take the time to stop and tie his shoelaces. Even in winter, he has to wear boots to school and change to other shoes when he comes to school. These work perfectly!

For the price, this shoe can't be beat. I love running in Saucony and we bought these shoes for my daughter. Well made and she says they are comfortable.

We only wore our daughters feet with high quality Saucony sneakers. This guy had a different style and was too rigid. My 3 year old daughter kept complaining that these shoes hurt her thighs. The shoes themselves are of good quality but they are really very tough. Damn.

Doesn't let air through which is a bit unforgivable these days despite the shoes being said to be waterproof. Otherwise, a decent range of outdoor/hiking sneakers.

I love these sneakers! My son has been wearing them every day since we bought them in October 2016 and (6 months later) they are still in great condition! Leather makes shoes durable and look new, unlike cloth/mesh shoes.

bought the sole on November 7th, 2016 halfway to December 22nd. The 7-year-old grandson carries her to school without being severely abused. Apart from the falling apart look and fit great and beautiful shoes.

The shoes are beautiful but poorly made! I ordered them for one day delivery as my son needs them for gym class tomorrow. He obviously won't be able to use them as they're immediately corrupted. I am so disappointed!

They lasted 2 days before they started falling apart. Stride rite customer service was less than helpful. Send them back and don't buy this brand again. For the price I expect a quality product.

We are delighted with these shoes. We got a phenomenal deal and they are amazing quality. The grip on the bottom is perfect for climbing, hiking, running. I will no longer buy boys' shoes.

My son has worn these shoes properly, maybe 5 times and the laces in one have already snapped. Strange, for shoes with Velcro. Low quality.
