Review on Stride Rite 360 Keaton Athletic Running Shoe: Unisex-Child Performance Footwear by Frank Dubey

Our son recently moved to kindergarten and unfortunately needs shoes. It was always difficult to wear ankle boots, so I dreaded that day. Luckily I found this pair! These are the first shoes I put on my 12 month old that he didn't cry in immediately. He'll wear them all day without crying, which I think is a solid win! He even gave them to me to wear in the morning so he must love them! However, they were not the longest-lived. Our son stands and walks, but he still crawls a lot, like most early walkers. These shoes do not tolerate crawling at all. On the first day the outer fabric tore and on the 3rd day there was a clear and noticeable tear all over the toe. Since they are growing so fast at this age we can probably wear them for a while but I was sad to see that we won't be able to use them for a second child or resell them after we're done. I contacted Stride Rite. to let them know of their concerns about shelf life and they actually gave me a gift card for their site! I am very happy about the support of this company and how much our son likes the shoes. So we will definitely buy more shoes from this company in the future!
