My son has wide feet and is particular in wearing his shoes. After putting these on one time just to see if they fit he wont take them off. He is 2 and good on his feet however still looses his balance if he wears a shoe that doesn't support him in the right areas. This shoe seems to provide just the right amount of support for his chubby feet.

My son is just getting to the age where he says what he what's to wear and what he does and doesn't like and he LOVES these shoes. The sizing is great in my opinion. Whenever I buy shoes for my son I feel like they run small and I have to turn around and buy a second shoe. The colors are bright and the quality is great! I got both the greyish blue and the navy blue and orange. I loved them so much that I also bought him the next size up as well. We wlive in Florida and I love the idea of the sneaker protection and the light weight/breath ability of a sandal. I wanted to make sure I got them while they were in stock.

My daughter loved how they looked but she didn't like the feel on her feet.

I bought two different styles of stride rite shoes, both a size 4, and these were almost an inch bigger!

I have these for my two year old and my four year old. Both kids love their “wet shoes.” They are a smidge on the big size, but they last a while and are pretty easy to get on and off, even with wet feet.

Great sturdy shoe typical of stride rite. My daughter complained the first few times she wore them that they rubbed on her heel, but it seemed to remedy itself.

Great shoes for the summer and love that it’s an enclosed shoe so my daughter can run around without her shoes falling off or stubbing her toes.

My 3 yr old LOVES these! She calls them her climbing/water shoes...lol I love them too, they fit perfect and she can put them on herself! They are super cute! Way cuter than crocs ð??? I have washed them once in the washer so far. The only complaint that I have is some of the silver color is peeling off on one of them. It would not keep me from buying them though. We really do love them and she gets tons of compliments on them ð???

These shoes gave my daughter blisters. She enjoys wearing them with socks but refuses to wear them without socks since the blisters.

Both my daughters said they were “scratchy” on the inside... so going back. Such a shame, would have been perfect for nature camp and all summer activities!

Bought these for my toddler. I love that they can be worn for land and water play and that she can run around in them. Unfortunately they cause blisters on the back of my daughters ankles. Now when she wears them i have to put band aids on the back of her ankles to help from the shoe causing more blisters.

Both I and my daughter LOVED the look of these shoes - we ordered the pink and rose gold) and she needs water shoes for camp, and we both loved the closed toe to keep little rocks out. However, the size 13 was huge (we ordered 13 b/c her new Nike sneakers are that size and fit perfectly.) So I returned them and we ordered the 12 (there are no half sizes) and the 12 fits but the inside of the vamp (the part under the laces) up near the toes is stitched in a rough way and unfinished, so in 2 minutes of just walking on the carpet to try them on, it had scraped her bare feet. This is sad as they are meant to be worn without socks so your feet can get wet. So now we are returning the second pair and will have to find a different style. I tried to attach a photo of the inside of the shoe so this is visible. We have loved Stride Rite for years and are disappointed this shoe didn't work out.

Bought these as my toddler was growing out of the water shoes this summer. I figured she could wear them in the fall with socks. IDK if it was coincidence but she got a bad rash on both her feet after she wore them to the beach. B/C theres no holes in the bottom of the shoe - maybe water gets trapped? Either way - she wears them with socks now and i bought her a bunch of my little pony clothes to match.

I bought Phibians for both my daughter and son. They both wore their shoes for a solid week and never wore them again. They leave imprints on the top of their feet from the shoe lace tab on the inside of the shoes. The length and width appeared to be accurate. If it wasn't for the pronounced shoe tab digging into the top of their feet, I think they would continue to be wearing them. Too bad. It was a waste of money for me.

These shoes seemed run almost a full size bigger. Our daughter is almost in a size 2 girls and the 1s we ordered in these just now started to fit her, still with some growing room. Perfect outdoor/summer shoe!

I bought these for my 5 + 8 yo to go on vacation at Legoland. While these are great shoes in theory, they tore up the inside of both my daughters feet (without socks).One girl has skinny feet and the other chubby feet and these shoes hurt both of them. My oldest begged for these and they were so expensive so not worth it at all!!!

My grandchildren got blisters after wearing these. Has anyone else ex that? They shouldn't have to wear socks since they are a water shoe.

Loved them, but sadly have to return because they are too difficult to get on. My 2 year old needs something they can put on themselves.

Really cute and seems like they would be great for summer but returning because my daughter says they are really scratchy around the top. There is a faux leather (purple) edging that is sewn onto the mesh and it is really scratchy where the two meet. Wish these could have worked.

I wish this shoe worked out. Tried it two summers in a row for my son & daughter, with no luck. Both kids, both summers, didn't have the shoes on for 10 min. & got bad blisters on the inside of their ankles.
I'd also recommend:

I wanted to love these based on the hype. They seemed perfect for daycare and summer activities. Unfortunately, after the first day of wearing them my daughter came home saying they hurt her feet. Made her wear them a couple more times to try and "break in". Even the daycare said that she complained often about her new shoes and how much they hurt. She now refuses to wear them. $40 is a lot of money to waste on an uncomfortable kids shoes, very disappointed. Would not recommend.

These are so cute but they caused horrible irritation and blisters on my daughter's feet. I was hoping they'd be a good water shoe for summer but I'll have to look elsewhere.
