Stride Rite Athletic Running Shoes for Little Boys: Enhance Performance and Comfort Review

Yes, kids are picky about shoes, but in these photos, these shoes are after 5 hours of wear! Extremely low wear resistance of the toe material of these Stride Rite shoes! We've been buying Stride Rite exclusively since our son could walk and we've never seen a pair of their toddler trainers made from such a poor choice of short-lived materials! We return them and stay away from the 360 line. I think they are much cheaper than the M2P line.

UPATE 10/02/2022 WILL YOU PLEASE ANSWER ME? I have a question and I know my return has expired, but is there a way to complete my return so I can buy another pair of these sneakers for my grandson? The left shoe is almost perforated, I can't explain why. The sneakers are great and fit great but this one may have a flaw. Could you review my request so I know how to proceed? Any help you can provide is appreciated. Thank you Karen Swartwood.

After buying the same shoes twice and repeating the same thing just a few weeks later (see photo of toe box), we ended up with the StrideRite. It's such a well fitting comfortable shoe but it just doesn't last long. We had the same issue with a newly purchased backlit variant, where the mesh started to degrade around the same time. (Photo of those attached) Very disappointing given the cost.

I bought these for my daughter last year and was very pleased with how well they held up and looked as she outgrew them. They are durable, supportive and comfortable for walking and outdoor play. With regular/normal wear the velcro still works great and the shoe itself still looks great with minor but expected wear to the toe box which fits well and isn't very noticeable. They are in fair condition and I intend to keep them for our next daughter. We were delighted to be buying this brand and…

I couldn't choose shoes for my daughter because everything we get falls apart so quickly! We've had them for 4 months now and despite wearing them every day they still look brand new! She loves them and calls them her fast shoes! They are lightweight yet incredibly durable. They are very cute and will definitely buy again when she outgrows them! This would be a great shoe for families who can use hand-me-downs!

My son just loves these shoes. He outgrew his first pair and I decided to buy him another brand just to mix styles. Well, he complained like crazy. He hated other shoes from the start. Said his legs hurt walking (even short distances) etc. We were preparing for a trip to Disney World where I knew he would be walking a lot so my husband and I decided it would be in our best interest. Give him the original step rites he loved so much, only in a larger format. They literally arrived the day we…

It is very comfortable, especially for kids with fat and wide feet, like my son with fat feet. BUT it is very, very fragile. After wearing it for two weekends just to go to the playgrounds there were holes in the front on both sides because my son likes to kick things. It looks ugly but since it's expensive I still wear it sometimes, after two months it looked like the picture so I have to throw it away. I know my son is very mobile and puny, but this is the only pair of shoes we have purchased

My son sorted the shoes after a month because of the holes around the socks. The shoes are 4 months old and still in good condition. Durable and comfortable!

The shoes were well made but did not fit my 2 year old grandson who has a wide foot and high instep. We couldn't put a boot on him.

I bought them 3 times in different sizes. I like that the wide foot panel comes out to make the shoe last longer. My son loves them and they are very durable.

I bought these for my toddler in kindergarten and they have held up. She would have destroyed most of the shoes by now, but these have stood the test of time. They are a bit heavy on the feet but as I said the quality is there.

The Stride Rites are the only shoes that fit my son's wide feet properly and comfortably. He loves these shoes and we only buy 360 step rituals! Now we have multiple colors and sizes. He doesn't complain and says he's comfortable on his leg!

Fit well but not durable. My child has been wearing them for less than 3 weeks and they are already coming loose and have holes in the front of the shoe.

Are you beginning to wonder if these are real rites of the step? They are much heavier than those the Rites of Discord are used to, and the material seems different. we return Heavy shoes are not suitable

We all know that small children outgrow shoes quickly, but it would be nice if the shoes could stay in good condition for more than 3 months. My son has a wider toe so I took out the insert to make it work great but now the shoe is very worn inside and out.

My son tends to wear out his shoes and they hold up so well. I wash them all the time and they stay in great condition. They are also suitable for wider feet. My son has wide feet with short toes - they have a squarer toe and are therefore much more comfortable than other brands of shoes. It's the only brand he really enjoys wearing and admiring.

The size was perfect but they were too heavy for my son. He wore them for half a day and complained that his shins/calfs hurt. They are almost three times heavier than normal running shoes. Don't get me wrong these were excellent quality shoes but I can't imagine him walking in them all day again without his feet hurting.

I've been buying Stride Ride shoes for 7 years; with several children we bought at least 30 sneakers. I've seen the quality of running shoes go down a lot in the last 2-3 years but this shoe was the worst. My son wore it for several hours before the toe of the shoe broke. My parents and husband couldn't believe this was the first time my son wore these shoes. This was probably my last barrel purchase.

Received this pair on November 23, 2021. Super came out to give my son to wear. On average, he wore this pair 5 times a week, 1-3 hours a day in the park. Today, as of January 21, 2022, the shoes can still be returned, but the shoes have already been worn. I do NOT recommend this. Not worth the money

I wish I had read more of the reviews before purchasing this product but unfortunately due to the amazing stars and amount of reviews I just left. I bought Stride Rite shoes when my boys were very young and they were great quality! But not now, I bought them for my 5 year old and after about a month the insole came loose from the shoe sole and parts of the insole fell out of the shoe. The toe area also quickly became a problem and I have a feeling it will break soon as well. Considering the…
