Style and size - This is a great shoe which combines adorable and convenient styling with sizing options. Not many styles are appropriate for wide or chubby feet, but this pair was great for that.

Zappos a great place to get great shoes - We have used Zappos for many shoe orders. My grandson can only wear wide shoes and to find them in a store is very hard, not to mention that we live in the country and have no malls nearby. Zappos was great when he was asked to be in a wedding and we needed dress shoes in a hurry. We went through several pairs before we found the right ones. The next day service was and is why we continue to use Zappos. Now we have a grand-daughter to continue the tradition of quick, great service and selection. Keep up the great work.

My daughter (17 months) loves these shoes. She didn't want to take them off when I tried them on her. They're easy to get on and take off, and so far, have held up well to daily toddler wear and tear.

Disappointing quality from Stride Rite - I ordered this shoe for my daughter because it was the only shoe I could find for a walker that came in her size. The style of the shoe is cute; however the metallic QUICKLY wears away from normal toddler activity. In addition the rubber sole easily separates from the top of the shoe. Considering the higher price tag for Stride Rites, I am disappointed in the quality, and will try other brands in the future.

Cute, but not durable - I bought these shoes for my 20-month-old daughter only three weeks ago, but they are thrashed. The metallic finish on the suede was gone in the first few wearings, but, hey, they're still good shoes, right? Wrong. This week the sole came detached from the upper and they are unwearable less than a month after purchase. Other Stride Rite shoes have lasted for as long as it took her to outgrow them, but not these...approach with caution!

My daughter wore these shoes for most of the school year. Size 11.5 was very good size for her. Excellent quality and very durable with good support for a growing foot. Also the color combination of red and brown was very big this year and these looked great.

Great school shoe - I bought these shoes to go with my daughter's navy uniform she wears in pre-school. They are holding up to everyday wear, including recess. They are comfortable and easy for her to put on. I would recommend these shoes.

They fell apart! My daughter and I loved the shoes when they arrived. Unfortunately, it only took about a week for them to fall apart. Specifically, the heart on the toe of both shoes came unstitched 3/4 of the way around - so now the heart is hanging off the shoe. The front also scuffed liked crazy. For the price, I was shocked at the poor quality.
