These are a great all-purpose shoe for active little boys. I got this pair for my son (6 years old) to alternate with a pair of blue sneakers, depending on what he wears to school each day. The color and fabric are great, because they don't show dirt, and I really like the rubber toe caps. My son had a similar pair a couple of winters ago, and he wore them out, because he wore them constantly. This pair did not disappoint; they were comfortable for him right out of the box, and he never complains about putting them on. Thank you NASA for inventing velcro. Stride Rite has been my go-to brand for all of his day-to-day shoes. He has a wider foot, which has narrowed out a bit as he gets older, but still, it has been historically difficult to find shoes that fit. Stride Rite fits, and they last. Zappos is a dream come true. I can order a couple of sizes and try them on here in the comfort of my home on my timetable. I don't have to drag my kids out shopping, and returns are super easy thanks to Zappos fantastic customer service.

This is a very good shoe, my 3 1/2 year old son has been wearing stride rite since he was 1 1/2 and this is his fifth pair. the design is a little boring but they are durable and he seems really comfortable in them. I would continue to buy this brand, and on Zappos, of course!

I bought this shoe for my son last fall when he was a year old. It was his favorite pair of shoes. So, I bought another one this year for him. They are very comfortable and durable. They are even great in the rain. They run true to size. My only compliant about them is that they are a little stiff. However, they soften up after a few wears. Overall, a great pair of toddler shoes.

I bought this shoe in navy for for 2 1/2 year old. It is a great shoe! So nice looking, and it can be dressed up or down. My son loves this shoe and is very comfortable in it. I definitely recommend this shoe.

My son loved the fitting, although he was not too happy with the color. I love them a lot. Next time, I have to buy the color he likes, I guess!

Very attractive shoe! These hold up to the abuse that active boys put on them. My son says these are very comfortable. My son has wide, flat feet with a high instep and these fit him perfectly! He also has very sweaty feet, but not a problem with these. Fitting his problem feet is never a problem with the selection that both Stride Rite and Zappos provide.

These XW shoes are a great fit for my 6-year old son's hard-to-fit feet, but I would say that the 2 velcro straps could be a little bit longer to better fit XW feet. As always, the Zappos service was top notch.

I got these shoes in Navy for my son who has started Kindergarten at a school which requires "one color" athletic shoes. I have always appreciated Stride Rite for wide widths and these are no exception; however, where he normally needs Wide, with these I had to return them and get Extra Wide for them to fit right. But they are excellent and he says they're comfortable and easy to put on.

My grandson loves these shoes. They are the only tennis shoes he will wear because they are flexible when he walks. Other tennis shoes are so stiff. It is very hard to find them in stores here so Zappos to the rescue!

We got these shoes for our three year old preschooler with a little more than the recommended shoe size (the recommended size would have been fine). Even as big as they were, he put them on and immediately liked and felt comfortable in them. He calls them the "fast shoes". They go very well with shorts and a T-shirt as well as uniform clothing to school.

I have an extremely active 4 year old boy who likes to play in sand, mud, water, and anything else that comes to mind. His feet are very wide and this is one of the few styles available in XXW. They fit comfortably and can also hold up to the numerous washings needed in our case. They’re also nice enough to dress up when necessary.

Children’s feet grow so fast, especially at the toddler stage, that I can often get Stride Rite shoes for my son used, but nearly unworn (I think there is a lively resale market for Stride Rites!). The fact that I was willing to buy these at full price is a testament to their handsome good looks and the quality I am familiar with from Stride Rite. It does not surprise me that they would be somewhat costly new, as they are beautifully made, wear like iron, and seem to feel great on his foot. I would always recommend Stride Rite, and this particular model is as attractive and useful as the day is long. Great with jeans or more formal pants, too.

Great price & value - Shoes are hard to find in wide in my son's size. Of course, Zappos had them and shipped them fast. Nice neutral colors suitable for any occasion. They also hold up well. Very happy with this purchase.

Too Narrow!!! First let me say I love Zappos service! My order was processed immediately and I received my shoes in a few days. Stride Rite shoes are one of my favorite "kid" shoes; however, the problem I have with this shoe is that it is too narrow for my grandson. He has an XW foot. Even though I ordered these shoes in XW (and that is what they are marked inside the shoe) they are too narrow for his foot. They appear slim for an XW shoe. The shoe is long enough for his size but is much too narrow. I am afraid to say I will have to return these for that reason.

Happy Zappos Customer! Very pleased with Zappos shipping and great shoe products. I haven't been disappointed yet. Our recent purchase, the Stride Rite TT Transporter made our little boy very happy. Great arch support will be very helpful with his nature hiking we will be doing this summer. Keep up the great service Zappos!!!!!!!!!

Great shoes - Look wonderful on. Not too trendy, which I like. My son has a wide foot and is hard to fit in the velcro closure. These work great. He leaves these on too, so that must mean they are more comfortable than his old ones.

Good buy - The main selling point of this shoe is that you don't have to tie it and it can be put on quickly in the morning. Our second grader is just not able to quickly tie his shoes and this presents a problem when we are running late. The second grader's solution was to try and put his shoes on without untying them which didn't work well either. The shoe is well made and passes muster because "They aren't dorky looking".

My Son Loves His Transporters - My 5 year old loves these sneakers. He says they are very comfortable and that the "air pocket" on the heel gives him "jumping power". One of the best features for me is that they look a little dressier than a regular sneaker.

Good shoe, though expensive - I bought this shoe for my 2.5 year old boy. Although all measurements said size 9, it ended up being too big and I exchanged it for 8.5. My son seems comfortable in them; he generally burns through shoes and although it's been a month, they still look good. (I've had different brand shoes lose their stitching within a month.) He is not picky with his shoes - in fact, he hates trying on shoes or getting new shoes - but he got used to these very quickly.

Great sneaker! My 2 year old seems very comfortable in these. The shoes look great and can even pass for dressier shoes when needed. As I find with some other stride rite velcro shoes, the velcro does not reach all the way over on my son's shoes so some velcro is still exposed but it doesn't bother me.
