These shoes are adorable and provide good support. My daughter does not have particularly wide feet, but I ended up needing to order these shoes in a wide width because the regular width pinched her feet.

I love these shoes. This is the second summer in a row that I have purchased these sandals for my two year old daughter, who has a wide foot. They are great for casual outfits and also summer sundresses, and polish nicely since she is tough on shoes.

This is a super cute shoe. It goes great with all outfits. I ordered a size a 4.5 for my daughter in this shoe and a different brand of shoe. This shoe seemed to run smaller. Overall, a very nice, versatile shoe.

Nice, but if your child has chubby feet - My daughter wears a double-wide and has very chubby feet for a 13 month-old. This shoe is cute & classic, but it was too tight at the top and around her ankle, even in a double-wide.

LOVE this sandal!! (This is my daughter's 5th pair!) Last summer, when my daughter was only just learning to walk, I had trouble finding a nicely made, quality shoe to fit her narrow feet. (And with Zappos great return policy, I tried A LOT of shoes!) Then I found the Stride Rite Daffodil. Since they come in different widths, I was able to fit her feet perfectly. There is no rise in the heel, so it was very stable, and the ball of the foot was already flexible, so it needed no breaking in period. We have since tried other styles/brands, and I always come back to this one. Here we are a year later, and I'm purchasing three more sizes so she can have them as she grows this summer - before they sell out! Stylish, comfortable (i.e. no baby blisters), and very well-made...what else could I ask for? Thanks Zappos for your great customer service! You've been a lifesaver for more than one special occasion!

Great first shoe - This is a great first shoe for a summer walker. It's very flexible, light weight, easy to put on, and well made.

Won't Stay White for Long - I just got these for my nearly 2 yr old daughter. After a little over a week of wear, the white finish is showing very early signs of wear (i.e. coming off). I got these to replace a pair of Stride Rite Beatrix t-straps she'd outgrown...which also had this same problem. I know white shoes are prone to this, so it's not a major issue- just annoying when you spend for the better brands. Her Stride Rite Guppies were the only ones that the finish did not rub off. The shoes at least fit well and she's happy.

Great shoe! My daughter seemingly overnight outgrew the sandals I bought her in April. These are great and didn't even cause a blister when worn straight out of the box!

Granddaughter loves her new shoe - When we try to put on any other shoe since this shoe has arrived my granddaughter makes a fuss. She seems to want to walk barefoot. Then we go to put on these shoes and she remains still and allow you to put these shoes on. Therefore, by her reactions alone I would say she finds the shoes comfortable!

Great sandals! Ok, so its mid-summer and I lost the sandals I got for my daughter. I went on a wild goose chase trying to find cute white sandals for my new walker and it was impossible! I was desperate! We needed white sandals for her 1 year photos, not to mention for the rest of the summer. I went to a store and they told me that a 4 1/2 was the right size... but I thought that my daughter was a 4 and even her 4s at home were a little big. SO, I found Zappos (yippee!) and ordered one in each size. Only the wide were available, but they turned out just right. Turns out, the 4 1/2 fit better than the 4 around the ankle. She has chubby ankles as well as the tops of her feet, so the wider, larger size worked much better. She doesn't try to take them off and points to them when she wants to go out. I am only sad that she will have outgrown them by next year! I was initially shocked by the price tag on them, but I guess good shoes in a new walker make it all worth it. They stay on her feet, look adorable, and she is happily toddling in her new shoes. Score! Stretchy.

Very cute shoes though a little bit tight for my daughter’s feet and she's got very narrow feet but still comfortable and flexible, liked them.

A little tight. These are cute shoes however they seem tight around the buckle strap – even for an extra wide shoe! There is a red mark after wearing, but hopefully they will stretch!

Cute sandals - I've been having trouble finding sandals that won't give my toddler blisters-she has high arches. These seem to be fine; I did order them in the wide-made a big difference!

Great Little Shoe! I purchased these shoes for my 2 year old grand daughter - she needed something to wear with her dresses. They were perfect - she ran around in them all the day the first day she had them on. Very cute shoe - pretty but practical.

Cuter than expected - I had a hard time finding sandals for my daughter, who is a 3.5 wide. I really wanted some cute pink ones, but these wound up being great...cuter than I thought. The only issue is sometimes her toes stick out when trying to get them on.

Cute shoe, but width seems a little narrow - Bought this shoe for my daughter, who measured a wide width in the stride rite store. We ordered the size she measured (and the same size as the other shoe we purchased in the store). When she wears these shoes, the straps leave marks on her feet - I think maybe we should have bought an extra-side if it's available. The soles are flexible and supportive. Overall it's a cute shoe, but you might want to go up a width.

Cutie sandal for your cutie - Excellent quality shoe. Enclosed toe protects baby's feet. Enclosed heel keeps sandal on baby's feet unlike the totally open sling-back styles. Matches with any outfit you put on baby. If available next year, I will buy them again in a bigger size of course!
