Comfortable shoe that is easy to put on and take off. Sturdy sole that doesn't slip or slide. Wide width available and actually wide enough for hard to fit feet. We have both the lace-up and velcro closure styles. Great shoe for the price.
Other brands recommended by reviewer: Austin Lace-up

I really like these shoes and they are true to size. Rugged enough for an 8 year old boy, but not too overly bulky and heavy. They go great with his school uniform and offer much support in the heel area, which is why I specially bought these shoes, my son previously cracked his heel and the podiatrist recommended a solid, steady shoe that would help keep his foot in place (especially in the heel area). Some shoes are too soft, these aren't. Also, no need to worry about shoes coming untied.

My son loves these shoes! He put them on and didn't want to take them off. He says they're more comfortable than slippers. Re: the velcro, I know, at 8 years old, kids should be tying their shoes, but honestly I don't have time to wait for him to do it, so velcro is just wonderful. So they look a little like old man orthopedic shoes, but as long as my son doesn't mind, I don't either.

I think the shoes are perfect for school; the rubber sole allows my son to wear them for gym also. My son wore them the first day of school with no complaints. The second day of school he did not want to wear them; he said they were too heavy. He has gotten used to them and wears them every day.

Comfortable shoe that fits well. The hook and loop closure seem to work better for my son's narrow heels, but there is a shoelace version of this style. Even with daily use on the asphalt playground, he outgrows them before they wear out. This all white shoe meets our school's uniform code perfectly, so we've bought the "Austin" by Stride Rite in every size he's needed for the last 5 years, and have always been pleased with fit and performance. Zappos service is the best, and they always have the right size on hand.
Other brands recommended by reviewer: Keen and Nike also fit kids comfortably.

These shoes are great for school! I purchased them for my son to wear with his school uniform and he loves them. They are comfortable, run true to size, and look like a dress shoe. My older son wore this style for a number of years as well, and was sad when he grew out of them! I would recommend these.

These shoes are both sporty and dressy at the same time. They are also hook and loop, which pleased my son and me. This is not the first time we have purchased these shoes, and we would do it again.

My son was thrilled at the looks but was soon disappointed when the stitching came loose on the side after 2 short wears. Great news is that Zappos took care of us and replaced the item within two days. The new pair seems to be holding up but I will be checking Stride Rite shoes closely from here on out. Fit was as stated.

My grandson had to have this style of shoe for school. We could not find them locally, so we ordered from Zappos. The Austin shoe looks good, is easy to put on with the velcro closure, and most of all, my grandson says they feel good on his feet. We also like the idea that you can get this shoe in different widths. We have purchased this brand in the past and this particular shoe is designed to take a lot of kid wear and tear. Our thanks to Zappos for the quick shipment. The shoes arrived in time for the first day of school!
Other brands recommended by reviewer: Stride Rite is the best, but New Balance shoes are great quality too!

When I tried to order this shoe it was out of stock. Zappos wasn't sure if it would be back in stock as it is a back to school item. I received an email a couple of days later that it was available. I received the item before school and it was what I ordered. I probably paid for this shoe through Zappos, but very convenient and no shipping charges.

Our son has wider feet and higher arches. They are "normal" looking feet to me, but for whatever reason we can hardly ever find shoes that fit comfortably. These worked out great! Roomy, comfortable, and velcro!

Got these for my 3 year old. He wears them for church shoes. We are very pleased with the shoes. They look great. They open wide enough that that he can put them on himself. Zappos gives excellent service. I come back to Zappos again & again, and have always been satisfied.

Stride Rite are great shoes. We always buy them. These are well-made, of course. They just seemed really heavy and a little clunky. Also, they seemed at least 1/2 size larger than marked.

My son's school requires white shoes as a part of the uniform. It's perfect. The width is not too narrow and it's a sturdy shoe. Stride Rite is always my preferred choice for kids growing feet.

Wide isn't wide.
My gut told me before I ordered these shoes that they wouldn't fit my son's wide feet, and they don't. He honestly has Fred Flintstone feet, so unless shoes are made a certain way, even wide ones don't fit. I think they look really nice and was disappointed that they won't work for us. Other than the width, I have no complaints.

There is something to be said for going shopping in your pajamas and getting exactly what you ordered! Zappos is the bomb! This is about our sixth purchase and every box has come within two days of the ordering date. My son has a wide foot and these fit perfectly on him. Very true to size. We love these shoes and I'll buy them again when he outgrows this pair. Thanks Zappos.

School shoe for 5 year old -
My son is extremely hard on shoes. After six months, I bought a second pair. Thank goodness Zappos had the size we needed. It is difficult to find a wide width in a comfortable school (all black) boys shoe. This is one of the longer wearing shoes I've bought for him and as they are styled as a sneaker, he loves to wear them. Chances are in six months, or come September I'll buy him another pair!

Excellent shoe!
These are a great pair of sneakers. Love how they are all white and my 5 year old son says they are comfortable. They seem to run true to size and the velcro straps are plenty long to allow for good closure. This is the third pair I bought for both my son and daughter and they both love the sneakers.

These are very supportive, comfortable shoes. My daughter (age 3) wears them to preschool every day and can easily take them on and off by herself. She has also walked all over Disneyland wearing these shoes with no complaints whatsoever. Great shoes!

Stride Rite's Austin Hook & Loop -
My son grew up from 3 years old to 12 years old on Stride Rite's. Just bought him two new pairs, size 6 wide last month. He'll still wear them till he's 13 maybe 14.
We love the velcro straps which make it so much easier for him to open up and put on his shoe.
