Customer Reviews Stride Rite SRT Emilia (Infant/Toddler)

After spending 7 years fitting shoes I feel it is only appropriate to help share some shoe fitting knowledge! These are phenomenal first walkers. If you have the opportunity to get into a store where you can measure your child's foot do so! Any knowledgeable shoe fitter should be able to advise you about how to fit your little one simply by looking at their foot. A child with a narrow foot would need a half size up from their measurement but a child with a medium or wide foot will need a size up. They run full enough that most little ones will only require a medium width. When fitting babies you should make sure that the shoe doesn't have an arch in it because they still have a pad of fat where their arch is in order to support and protect their feet. Children NEED room in front of their toes. A properly fit shoe will provide a thumbs width of length between the end of their toe and the end of the shoe. If you are looking for other guidelines to use when fitting your child you should take a look at stride rite or Clark's websites.

I bought these shoes for my 1 year old, because she is starting to walk. I love these shoes, because of the soft leather. I ordered the same shoes for my daughter 7 years ago. So I have to order for my second one. That's how great they are. I wouldn't buy any other shoe for my babies first walking she.

I bought these shoes for my grand-daughter. We couldn't have been happier. They fit true to size and are the best for baby when she is standing but before she is walking. The sole is flexible so baby's foot will continue to develop properly yet great for outdoor use. They also match everything.

I swear by Stride Rite shoes for babies just learning to walk. Thats all my kids wore, and now I bought my grandaughter her first pair! They offer great support and are light weight. Photo of her modeling her shoes...she loves them!

I love these shoes for my toddler. They seem soft and comfortable and give her stability as well. Sometimes her feet sweat in these shoes, but I'm not sure if that can be avoided.

Excellent shoe for early walkers. Provides the proper support required for tiny feet. I see far too many toddlers wearing inappropriate shoes because parents think they're "cute" but don't realize the damage they're doing to their little ones' feet.

I was so happy to order my Granddaughter's shoes online through Zappos. I was looking for higher ankle support like the ones 30 years ago. I could only find that here! They are cute, besides functional! Thanks, Zappos!

The shoes are very cute, just wish you had them in a darker color too.

The baby was on the line for either a medium or wide width, so I ordered both. Super fast shipping and easy return. The shoe is so cute and well made. Our little girl just started walking and this is her first pair of shoes!!!

These were the first pair of real shoe's I brought for my granddaughter. They looked great and I saw that they helped her walk straight unlike the other shoes she had been wearing. I believe they help her too walk without being scared. That's just my observation if she could talk maybe she would agree with me.

Great!!!!My granddaughter loves these shoes. She has small feet making it hard to find shoes that fit. These fit her feet perfectly, and improved her walking.

We love these shoes. I bought them for my daughter as she learned to walk. We saw them on another little girl at daycare and inquired about them. Glad I did. We still wear them, and they provide great stability for a new walker. They are also a great aesthetic alternative to the traditional "hard bottom" shoe.

Bought these for my 10 month old. They are the only shoes she’ll keep on her feet!

I love this shoe for my daughter. She began to walk and I wanted a shoe that would be cute yet sensible. These were it. They ran true to size and they look cute with all her outfits. Recently I bedazzled them to add some flare. I wish I could upload a picture.

The shoe looks nice and the quality feel great...I just hope it helps with walking for my baby! I wanted something that was going to last and not cheap and so far I happen to like this kind!

I love, love these shoes. They fit perfectly. The quality is outstanding. They only took 4 days to receive. Customer service was very helpful. Just wish you had more colors.

I got these shoes for my eight month old because she is really trying to walk. Not only are they super cute! But the high ankle on them supports my daughter's feet really well. I will be buying more if needed!

So far so good. Stride Rite had always made the best shoes for toddlers and learning to walkers. My mother bought stride Rites for me and I've bought the for my own children and now my grandchildren. The ankle support its great. Shoes are so important to support development. They are worth more than any "fashion" shoe. The shoes arrived on time and quickly. Thank you Zappos.

I am very happy with my purchase from Zappos! These shoes are very nice. Well worth the price. I especially appreciate how quickly I got them. I ordered at 4:00 one evening, I recieved them the next day.

These are very supportive shoes for a brand new walker, with the perfect feminine touch - pink embroidered flowers! My granddaughter took off with a steadier step, and is now running! I love them on her. They are adorable.

This is a very good shoe. It can be a little stiff but you are buying a tiny shoe that has ankle support, what can you expect? This shoe works and feels great.

Bought these sweet little walkers for my one-year-old because she was transitioning to a toddler room at her daycare and needed more support than crib shoes. They are classic and soft and look precious with dresses, leggings and shorts. She loves them and has started walking like a champ!

Best walking shoe ever. Fits great and very comfy for my daughter. Actually saw a positive change in her walking. It gave her security around her ankles.
