This is the 3rd pair of this First Mate Stride shoe that I have bought for my boys. My oldest one loved them so much that he would not wear any other shoe and used it so much it stretched them at least 1 number and a half! He had 2 of this one. It protects their little toes but at the same time lets skin and feet breath!

These fisherman sandals are adorable and fit just right. They run true to size and my son walks great in them. This was exactly the item I was looking for. Zappos shipped them overnight - free of charge! Great company - great item!

My son had these last year and they were wonderful. Very comfortable. This year the stitching kept popping on them. He still loves them though & doesn't mind putting them on!

I absolutely love these shoes! Awesome quality and fit. Zappos is the best on-line shoe seller I have used. The customer service can't be beat.

Love these shoes. They are very cushy to walk on and provide support to little feet. My daughter complained at first that the front part of the shoe rubbed on the top of her foot and that it hurt. We did a little home handywork on them to soften the edges of the leather and now there are no complaints.

Great little boy sandals! This is the second pair of these Stride Rite sandals we have owned, as they are the best ones we've found. Great for every day and dressing up. They are easy to put on and my son loves them, especially the fish and starfish on the soles.

Love these shoes - These shoes fit my son well, look adorable, and hold up just great! These are the third pair we've purchased, and each pair have held up well enough to be passed on to friends when my son has grown out of them. They are casual and dressy (with a pair of chinos) and provide support and protection for their little feet. I highly recommend!

Zappos helped us "stride right"- My toddler loves his new shoes! They seem to be comfortable for him and they look great, even after a few weeks of wear and chewing. My favorite thing about ordering them was how easy they were to shop for...especially after the lack of care I got at the original store I got my son sized at. Zappos search is great...I just loaded his size in and could see all of the styles available. It was easy and stress free. With four kids, the easier the better, plus I didn't have to drive and the shipping was free and quick! Thank you!

My Little Man Loves this Shoe - I bought this pair of shoes for my son who has just learned to walk. He loved them from the moment he put them on. The only problem was that they scuffed very quickly and easily.

Looks nice, but fits too tight! This is a very narrow shoe. I do not recommend it to anyone due to the bad fit for kids!

Great shoes! My son absolutely loves them and wears them everywhere. They wear very well and are apparently quite comfortable, because he wants to wear them both day and night.

Great dress up sandals that are comfortable - Great dressy sandal that has very comfortable leather. However, my son's toes don't go all the way to the front because of his high instep. Otherwise great for church and special outings. Width is wonderful since my son has a wide foot. Leather is extremely soft.

Good, but not the best - My 26 month old has been wearing Stride Rite. When we saw these sandals, we thought they would be a good replacement for the Baby Guppy (they no longer come in his size, a 9). We were wrong. Firstly, the insole is NOT leather. After a day of running and playing, his feet smell. Secondly, the padding around the velcro is thin, giving him blisters. The sole is not as flexible as we had hoped.

A nice and stylish leather sandal for a toddler - I like Stride Rite for my son, as they wear like iron and because their leather interiors are well designed to keep the kids' feet from getting sweaty. The First Mate was the only brown one I could get at the time my son needed them (his growth spurts don't coincide with sales or seasons). I would have preferred their Guppy, as it has one more crosswise strap and the straps are all less wide because of that, but First Mate does well enough. My son wears them cheerfully (is not old enough to tell me "Gee, Mommy, these feel nice," but I take his wearing them comfortably as a sign) and they get compliments. As with most leather sandals for children, these can be worn casually or for a dressy summer occasion. With Stride Rite, if your child has wide feet, get the wide size. They are not narrower than sized, but they aren't any wider than sized either.

Beautiful and sturdy - I bought the wide version (thank you Stride Rite!), because my 19 month old has a high arch and pudgy feet. I love the leather, which looks rich and has that gloss that says "expensive leather shoes". The soles are rugged. I can't comment on durability, but I'm expecting to pass these on to friends in great condition after he outgrows them!

My son loves them - My son hates to wear shoes and he doesn’t try to take these off. It seems as if he enjoys wearing them. Very good shoes, holds up very well to a toddler. And I enjoyed working with Zappos.

Shoes for Luka - These shoes are super comfortable and cute too! They are so comfy that my 19 month old can wear them all day without socks and they do not leave marks or rub his feet. They wear very well and the leather gets softer over time which is nice. We have gotten a lot of compliments on them!
