Bought these shoes for my 4 1/2 yr old daughter and they have been great. I wanted her to have a good pair for camp and the colors are pretty, too. They seem to fit well and she's happy.
This is an excellent and nice looking dress shoe for girls. They are comfortable, lightweight and go with basic dresses and even dressier dresses for girls. They have a nice bottom to the shoe and are not slippery like some dress shoes. My daughter likes them. She did need a wide width. Her feet are not really that wide, but she usually has to wear a wide width in this brand of shoes.
This is my 2nd year coming back for these shoes! They are a very cute style. Cute enough to wear with a dress, but rugged enough for the playground. My daughter is 2 years old now and Id say she has a pretty average foot, neither very chubby nor very slim and these shoes fit her great! I only wish they made more colors!

My daughter loves her rainbow shoes! They are comfortable and easy for her to put on. We get compliments everywhere we go!

These are super cool! My son loves these and they do not hurt his feet! They are soft and light weight. I am very happy to find a good pair of flip-flops to last the summer.

My nephew adores his Jedi to Sith sneakers with the different lighted designs that show up in daylight and in darker lighting. However, his little sister is disappointed that Stride Rite is not "representing for the ladies" with Star Wars-themed sneakers. She wants to see Princess Leia for girls that have neat colors and designs that change in daylight and in darkness.

I purchased these shoes for my 2 1/2 year old. She loves them and can put them on herself. They are super comfortable on her foot. She has worn them on the playground several times without any discomfort and the shoe stays in place. I used the size chart on the Stride-Rite site to size these.

These shoes are perfect for my little girl. I purchased these when she was 12 months and just beginning to walk. She walks easily in them and doesn't want to take them off. They fit her foot like a tennis shoe and allow plenty of air through to keep her cool. FYI, I used the sizing chart on the Stride-Rite site to fit these properly.

These are so adorable two year old grandson wears them to bed and insisted they went with him for surgery. They are hilarious with the headlights.

These are the fourth pair of these shoes that we've owned for our rough and tumble 2- and 4-year old boys. They are very supportive shoes and great for all the running and jumping and climbing they do. Previously they had the brown ones; for spring, we went with the tan/orange ones. Guaranteed, though, they run about a 1/2 size small (e.g., my 4y old wears an 11 and the 11.5 fit him better). Buy these today!
I bought these at the Stride Rite store because my daughter fell in love with them. They are truly very cute and versatile enough to go with a number of outfits. The Problem: The fit - within an hour of wearing these shoes my daughter had nasty blisters on the back of her heels because the shoe is so stiff. We had to take them back. I wish more designers would make flats with some kind of cushioning on the heel because these shoes truly rub kids the wrong way!
Cute little girl shoes. My daughter loves them. Perfect for those times she needs to dress-up.

We bought these for my 1 y.o. who wasn't quite sure on her feet yet, and found regular sneakers a bit cumbersome. She seemed to really like these and was walking well in no time.

Stride Rite shoes in my opinion are the best fitting, best quality, best looking, and best gripping. My son is hard on shoes, and these shoes will last 8 months to a year. Awesome shoes!
We bought this style in a 7W to replace my son's 6½W pair of Stride Rite sneakers (different style). Unfortunately the two pairs of shoes are about the same size, with these only being slightly bigger. We will keep them but they are not going to last too long due to these running small. He has only ever had Stride Rite, so we know how much bigger half a size up usually is. Also, be aware they do not have the pull out insole so you can check the size against the foot. I really like that feature in other Stride Rites. Still, they are cute.

I got these for my grandson. He absolutely loves them. These are very rugged to hold up for this very active 5 year old. Great summer sandal for boys for play without worrying about scuffed and scraped toes.

These are very cute but just not soft enough if your child has sensitive feet. I ordered these for my 6 year old daughter along with another pair of sandals. She put these on first as she loved the look of them but after walking down our hallway she said they hurt. The back strap is nice and cushy but the straps up near the toes are VERY stiff. We have to return these but are keep the other brand of sandals which are super flexible and soft pliable leather instead.

Good fit - velcro on loop and shoe could be larger.
