Great Shoes for Little Feet
These shoes are perfect for toddlers with growing feet. I bought this pair six months ago, and the soles have held up excellently. This is my sencond purchase of the same shoe different color. They're the perfect size, not too narrow for my toddler's slightly wide feet. The velcro closure has remained strong over time. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because the inside of the shoes has started to come apart a bit, although it doesn't affect their functionality. Additionally, there are some scuff marks on the tips from playing hard, but that's to be expected.

Size: 10 Wide ToddlerColor: BlackVerified Purchase
Bought two of these for my daughter's uniform and they've both held up after 6 months! Looks like they'll last through the end of this school year. (Which is unheard of with the cheapo shoes!) In fact, I've already bought another pair (one size up) in preparation for next year.
+ I love that they have wide widths. That's rare in children's shoes.
+ The velcro makes it very easy to take on/off
+ The rubber sole on this shoe is really great. Doesn't mark up the walls. It's not too hard but also has enough cushioning.
+ Sole has grip and has held up. Don't get me wrong, it is worn after 6 months, but it still has the grooves and still grips. It also wore down evenly, but that might be more a function of the way my daughter walks than the shoe itself.
+ Finally the best part of it is the leather! It has held up so well. Sure, it's a bit scruffed up, but that's expected. It hasn't peeled...that's the important piece. The leather is great quality. Plus it's leather inside and out. Leather is also much more breathable than synthetic fabric. My daughter's hands and feet sweat a lot. With this shoe, her feet are able to breathe in the leather even if it's sweaty.
+ Bonus: insole leather is still brand new. That just speaks to the quality. We've even thrown these into the wash and dryer and they are still in great condition.

If your kids wear a uniform or the same shoe to school every day, it's important that they get enough cushioning and breathability in the shoe. I would recommend getting two to alternate so that each shoe has a day to air out. That helps to prevent stinky shoe issues. Length and width were perfect for her. But if you're unsure, just buy a few sizes and widths and return the ones that don't fit.

My daughter is in 3rd grade and I have bought these every year since kindergarten. I purchase wide although my daughter doesn’t have wide feet, but it’s the most comfortable for her. I purchased several sizes to get it right. They are very high quality and they last the entire school year.

This exact shoe and style was worn for a few years by my older daughter, and now my younger daughter has started to wear it. Different kid, same shoe: classic design, quality construction. What really gets me is that I bought a few other brands along the past decade, and they NEVER stood up to wear like this shoe. Other shoes have the color scratch off, the top strap breaks, they look old and dingy very quickly, and they don't stand up to polishing. This shoe is evidence that craftsmanship still exists.

My 9 year old has a wide foot and most shoes hurt her feet. I wanted to see if Stride Rite had wide shoes in her size. She is a women’s 4 and thankfully we found these. She said they were comfortable and the look of relief on her face when she put the shoes on…she smiled and said these feel like walking on clouds. Lol 😆🩷🩵

I am so disappointed with this product. This is a shoe required for school and by going with the name brand product I expected the shoes to last at least 1 school year. They are worn 3-4 days/week and the Velcro is completely worn in about 5 months. The leather portion looked worn and faded very quickly but I was more concerned with functionality. They now fall off instantly. The knock off brand I got previously lasted for 2 school years. I’m also frustrated because I didn’t see any options to contact the seller other than leaving a negative review. I hope they reach out with a reasonable solution so I can update this comment but for now I wish had spent less money on the generic brand options. For now I can’t possibly recommend these shoes because it’s just nuts to buy kids new shoes mid school year!

El toe box es super angosto lo que hace que se reduzca el espacio para el pie y sea una talla mas pequeña de lo que es.

I LOVE these shoes. They are very well made and provide a lot of support. Most girls dress shoes are thin, flimsy, and provide little to no support for their growing feet. I have two daughters a year apart and even after a year of wearing them they are still in perfect condition and ready to pass down to the younger one. Got them for less than half the regular price, but definitely worth the full price if I had to pay it.
