Review on πŸ‘Ÿ SRTech Wes Casual Sneaker: Top Choice for Active Kids - Stride Rite Unisex-Child by Matt Welch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

We miss those stride rituals.

We were introduced to the rites of the step from a young age, since our sons' first pair of hiking shoes was SR from the finish. But then when my son got a few sizes up and started walking, we knew we had to keep buying this brand because it's so comfortable for his big and wide feet. He LOVES to jump and bounce so we needed a shoe that would allow him to balance on the ground really well. Most tennis shoes from other sports brands have very thick soles that are not flexible (and most brands are too narrow for most chubby kids). feet!), so it's like your toddler is wearing platform shoes that only swing front to back. But if you notice the SR, the sole is wider and has these balance and grip "nodes" that distribute body weight evenly across the sole of the foot. Much better for balance and for our little bouncing ball :) yes they are expensive. Get the right size or 1/2 size bigger so they grow a little but you won't regret buying these things. Our little one wears them every day and they let him play in the water and tug his toe to slow down on his scooter. These shoes are amazing, just like roller brakes! Haha It's a good idea to spray them with tennis shoe protectors before your kid starts wearing them just to protect them from abuse.

Pros
  • shoes
Cons
