I ordered size 5 for big kids standing 8-12 years old. I received a size 5 for toddlers. My 8 year old can't wear it. I checked again after receiving it and it shows big kids so it's too small. Disappointment. Shoes as in the photo. They look and feel high quality.

I love the Stride Rite shoes. My daughter is very picky about shoes and they last much longer than other brands. I especially like that they are wide because Puma and Adidas are usually too narrow for that. It is walking in shoes every day. Just came back to buy the same shoes in a larger size!

I bought 8w for a child of 3.5 years. I could barely get her foot in. Will return. We've had their Step Rite shoes in the past and they fit the width well. Not this shoe. Too much padding even with the insole removed.

Nice sale for $20. The Xwide are not very wide giving my child enough room to play and her shoes don't feel too tight. would recommend.

They were incredibly difficult to put on and even though they were the right size, he had stains on his feet from being too tight when he first put them on. Repeated spots lasted for weeks.

Shoes with good lining. My son had trouble getting to his feet but he said it was otherwise comfortable. We sent the boot back and ordered a wide one instead to make it easier to get in and out of.

A pediatrician recently told me that I need to buy him good support shoes that are too big for him because he "knees". He said most kids outgrow it, but the right shoes will help. He has had fewer falls than usual so far and seems more comfortable in it overall! Hope this helps someone else in the same situation!

My son has a wide foot and they are very comfortable in the wide size. However, after about 6 weeks the velcro straps started to stretch and after about 3 months the underside of the sole came loose.

I tried several sizes and it didn't matter. It's almost impossible to stand on my one year old's foot without applying too much pressure. I saved her ankles and bought cheaper shoes from Walmart. She'll outgrow them in a few months anyway. *shrugs*

These sneakers last about 3 months before the sole wears out making the shoe unwearable. This is completely unacceptable for a shoe in this price range. Hush Puppies last many times longer than this one. I will not buy this brand again.

My daughter got them as a gift and after less than a month of use the tongue on the shoe started to come loose. I emailed Stride Rite but never got a response from them. These are good shoes but for the price the shoes should hold up better.

These shoes were too small for my child. She was only able to wear them once as her legs were injured and her veins started to bulge. She only has Stride Rite shoes and they don't fit at all!

We urgently needed wide children's tennis shoes for my grandson. They fell apart after 3 months. After spending $40 I am very dissatisfied with it!

My daughter usually wears a size 8M from other brands, but the Stride Rite shoes are kinda too small for her. We had to return this one (8W) and get another Stride Rite in 8.5 Wide.

My son loves the grip (and likes to test it) as well as the fit and comfort. Apart from that, the shoe is suitable for almost every occasion - for play, at school and for everything else that is not too formal. Stride Rite just knows how to make great shoes for kids.

The sneakers are very cute on my 2 year old granddaughter. She seems comfortable in it. They are of good quality. I bought her a size 9 in October and it fits just right. Not much leg room. I like the rite of passage for children. They just last longer and are safe to wear.

I'm only giving one star because we ordered a 4.5 width and this style of Stride Rite is NOT wide. We used to have Rhett by Stride Rite 4 Wide shoes and they were perfect. I ordered a 4.5" wide sneaker in this style and found it uncomfortable to put on my little boys feet. Everything else about the shoe is great as always. Stride rite have top notch products but this style of shoe is different from other Stride rite shoes.

waste of money. The band is almost unsewn after the second use, and I even got the Wide size. Also, the velcro doesn't hold up very well. Very disappointed.
