I love Stride Rite shoes for my 17 month old son! He has wide feet and these shoes are always so comfortable, light! I was very excited when I ordered this pair but was disappointed that after wearing it once it started to fray at the front of the shoe (the material was torn and peeling). The photos shown in other reviews reflect what my son's shoes looked like after first use. His first use was at a backyard birthday party, but mostly on the lawn. I was very frustrated that the level of wear…

I just bought these sneakers for my 3 year old. The fit and look of these shoes were amazing but she only wore them once and the toe was snapped and what was even more surprising the tread was "worn"...we just wanted to go to the park. I missed the return window by a day or I would have sent them back.

Overall the Stride Rite is a good shoe, but this shoe sucks. Shoes fall apart after 2 weeks. I recommend finding something else.

My daughter has worn these shoes twice, both at preschool part time for 3 hours. The second time they came back like this, with the toe front pieces ripped off. My daughter is not picky about her shoes, she wore the last pair for several months with no problems. Judging by the soles, they are new. I am very disappointed with this purchase, especially the price. I spent more on the Stride Rite assuming the quality matched the cost. Of course, my returns window closed last week.

Our boys have been wearing the shoes for a week and the front is already damaged. This is a good brand but expensive for the poor. My boys are very active but it takes time for their shoes to wear out like this. I don't buy anymore.

We replaced the pair that our son grew out of with the exact same pair because these shoes are so great. My little one wears them for over 9 hours, many of them walk without complaint.

They were bought for my grandson who has trouble learning new things. But he loves these! He immediately ran into her. They look good, he likes the way they feel.

My little one has been wearing them for 3 days and the leather material on the toes is already worn out. I was expecting better quality from a brand like Stride Rite as they have been wearing their original Stride Rite shoes for months! These sneakers just don't feel sturdy enough for a toddler's day-to-day activities.

Very disappointed - the shoes fit and we are comfortable but they fell apart less than 6 months after purchase. My baby boy found them very comfortable to walk in!.

I love the durability and quality of the Stride Rite. My child is 4 years old and has worn them since he could walk. There are many options, but Stride Rite is much more durable, easy to care for and machine washable.

These shoes fit my energetic 4 year old perfectly. I love that you can remove the insert to customize and/or wear longer as baby grows. They're chipped off a bit from abrasions on the toes. We've had them for a month and a half now. I've washed them once so far. The rest of the shoes are almost like new.

I bought these from Kolya for my 2 year old. His toes are swollen and it's very difficult to find shoes to put on him. I took a chance because I could buy them in the store. I stretched them as best I could, but when I put them on him, he kept pulling his left hand off. Eventually I realized they were scraping the top of his foot (he had a visible crust). Poor thing, no wonder he hated her. The shoes also got scratched after a few uses but this has happened to every pair of shoes I've bought…

My 2 year old has been wearing them for a few weeks now. They hold up well and he can put them on himself. *** Update in 5 weeks. Doesn't that look like a well made article? I will update if I notice any holes. I don't wear it every day, maybe 3 times a week.

They work well for children with wide feet, but if they are uncomfortable, use the ones in the photo. The step rituals in the photo lasted a month, the cilantro was his only shoe for two months, and there is little to no wear on the toe! The shoes fit wide as is, we increased them by half a size to be safe and we had no problems.

My son refused to wear them. He said they hurt (although they should be ok in size). They are much stiffer than regular running shoes and feel cheap. They don't look like his other rite of passage shoes.

Made from high quality materials, perfect for babies. Simple bright colors to match uniforms and kits. Ideal for growing. The only thing that bothered me was the price, but maybe it was worth it if it works well over time.

I don't know, maybe my expectations are too high. All I know is that they fall apart after less than 5 socks. They just don't make their shoes like they used to. It's hit or miss. I'm keeping them, but I may have to go back to buying shoes in person. Oh, I definitely wouldn't buy any of the samples before buying them. I ordered six so I only kept these, they all seem to be defective in some way. Not because of stains or anything, but because of the way they were designed. Most of them were my…

I bought them on sale for $20 and they were a very good deal. My two year old loved them and wouldn't wear anything else. He ended up wearing her as long as he could fit and they stayed together. I would say he wore them for about 4 or 5 months.

I really liked the price and quality of these kids shoes. The colors were great and the quality is very good. It is lightweight and easy to put on and take off.

These shoes grow before they wear out. Great fit and easy for a 4 year old to wear and put on. As long as she wears them 4 out of 5 days a week.
