Do not recommend these shoes. They look cute, but they did not hold up well at all. After only 2 weeks, the shoes were falling apart. Disappointing, especially since I really liked the look of them when they first arrived.

So cute and edgy at the same time! We have the shoes in the brown / pink combo and love them. The shoes are just so darn cute, what else is there to say?!

Fabulous sneakers! They look adorable on my 2 year old daughter, are very easy to put on and close with the velcro strap. Would highly recommend.

So, here we are on our annual "Find black dress shoes for choir" expedition. My 7 year old has wide feet with a high arch/instep and we always find buying shoes difficult. Let me also say that we moved to the US from England where we have a better selection of width-fitting shoes and the sales assistants are trained in fitting (and will refuse to sell you something that doesn't fit even if you beg them!). Here's what we tried: Jumping Jacks Annika, Jumping Jacks Anna, Stride Rite Valerie, Stride Rite Valerie Jr, Jumping Jacks Marissa, Kenneth Cole Reaction - Dress Who, Stride Rite Vanessa. (By the way we got the widest width available in each shoe.) Here's what we found about each: JJ Anna - came up very small. We sized up a full size and got the length, but was still too tight in the width. JJ Annika - this was a close 2nd, but was a little tight across the toes then bagged in mid-foot so it was a strange fit for us. Stride Rite Valerie - too narrow and heel rather high for a 7 year old (in size 1.5Y). Stride Rite Valerie Jr - would have been nice, but too narrow and shallow in the front. JJ Marissa - too small and my daughter thought not dressy enough so we didn't pursue these. Kenneth Cole - looked wide-ish on the website picture, but not really! Stride Rite Vanessa - our winner, of sorts. They are pretty and an appropriate height and make a nice noise on our wood floors (very important when you're 7!). They still don't fit as well as they should. We went with a 1.5 when a 1 would have been better (but sold out). The ankle strap holds her foot securely so there is no slippage. The forefoot looks a little long, but there is width for her tights (even thicker ones). There is very little/no arch support. I would be concerned about this if they were everyday shoes, but since they are for dress I can live with it. Otherwise we'll end up spray painting her feet black because there is nothing else to choose from! Hope this is helpful. We're done, for another year!

Great shoes. My six year old son has a moderately wide foot and a high instep; these shoes (in wide) fit great. He's had them for a couple of months now and they are holding up great.

We are very happy with these shoes. The leather uppers are made of quality, soft pliable materials. The soles are also flexible enough to develop foot strength, but supportive enough for quick sprints.

Cute, lightweight, sturdy. I especially liked that they are a solid color. Most other pink shoes had too many colorful decorations, making them less of a good match with multiple outfits.

This is a great house shoe: sturdy but comfortable. The sole is substantial enough to give a new walker stability. The slipper is difficult to get on at first, but we found after a few days of wearing, it was much easier. A really cute design!

I have ordered several pair of the Windsor stride rite shoe for my grandson and every pair has fit him just right, true to size, he has gone from a wide to the extra wide. The shoes are great. I would tell anyone to try them.

I just wanted to update my earlier review of this shoe. The shoes turned out to be super washable. We wash them every two weeks, and they bounce right back to normal. Because of the mesh, the shoe dries super fast so that I can wash them while my daughter is taking a nap and she can wear them to go out in the afternoon. I\'ve also been able to put the cushion soles into the dryer without any shrinkage or other problems. Every shoe I get from now on will be washable. It makes such a difference. I\'ve also been able to have my daughter wear socks with these shoes, when it gets a little colder at night. Because of the mesh and the straps, it\'s easy to go from barefoot to socks with these shoes with no fit problems. And that reinforced toe has really stood up to my daughter\'s dragging her feet in her toy car. I love these shoes.

My 6 year old loves these boots. She has a wide foot and the wide width worked great for her. She has never complained that they are uncomfortable and she wears them every chance she gets.

My daughter has wide feet and it is always a problem to find her good shoes that look nice. These were perfect for her. She liked them right away. They are comfortable, stylish and come in wide.

I purchased these shoes for my 2 year old and he loves them. They are comfortable, fit well, and look nice. They are also very durable, as my son is a very active 2 year old and has literally abused these shoes and they still look great! There are only a few negatives to this shoe. The first, and most annoying, is that the velcro closure will not stay closed! The velcro piece on the side of the shoe releases after only a very short period of time. My son has walked out of and/or tripped on his shoe countless times. The other negative is that the glow-in-the-dark "bubbles" on the side of the shoes have some sort of substance in them that solidifies and separates from the edges of the bubble and looks strange. It really is only noticeable when you are looking at the shoe closely. Overall a good shoe, but I would not buy them again because of the velcro issue.

My 2 1/2 year old son has been wearing this shoe daily (it's his only pair) for about 6 months now. The shoe is surprisingly light, think as light as a pair of Croc sandals. Unfortunately, the shoe has major signs of wear and tear. The silver toe is scuffed and the sole is noticeably worn. I was hoping that for this price bucks that my younger son would get some use out of them, but I'm skeptical. The H&L is very nice, adequate length and strength. Overall, the shoe looks great with casual sweats or jeans. A good shoe and Stride Rite is always predictable. My son's next pair will be Stride Rite because I know that their wide widths fit well on him. I will probably choose a different style.

The shoes are great quality. The only thing worth noting is that the tongue on the shoe is too short; it sinks below the shoelaces. Other than that, great product. Zappos continues to impress. This is my fourth purchase and I cannot say enough about their service.

Love them! I bought it in both colors. As always, I can count on Zappos to fill my shoe needs. I have three children and two of them are hard to fit. It is so stress-free to be able to order without the hassle of trudging through the mall to find wide shoes. I can\'t thank Zappos enough for their excellent service and selection!

Overall Rating:

This is a great all-around sneaker. I like the navy blue color in the fall/winter because it pairs well with jeans. The only thing about them being so dark, is that they show dirt more easily, but all I need to do is brush them off and they are good again. \r\n\r\nMy son enjoyed these right out of the box - no breaking them in, no rubbing his feet or hurting. The sizing is true, the fit is great, and my son loves the lights. I have been buying Stride Rite for my son since he began walking and he\'s nearly six now. I can always count on Stride Rite for shoes that fit and wear well. Add to that Zappos outstanding service, and the combination can\'t be beat!

My 2 year old wore these shoes only once. She said they hurt her feet. I found these to be stiffer & not as flexible as other styles of Stride Rite Infant/Toddler shoes. Before I purchased these I had purchased 2 pairs of Stride Rite Bailey for her from Zappos. The Bailey was nice & soft & flexible, but unfortunately, it looks like they're no longer making that style.
