Customer Reviews Stride Rite Layla (Toddler)

My kid doesn’t want to take these off! Ordered these in a 7.5M for my 3-year-old, who promptly had a growth spurt so I ordered them again in a bigger size because she LOVED these shoes so much! Honestly the size 8M would probably have been fine but they were out of stock so we got the 8W and they worked just as well. I don’t know if the extra width makes any difference but as we go into colder weather it can only help as she’s choosing slightly thicker socks now. All in all we adore these shoes.

Shoe size seems to run small compared with sneakers.

Very nice Stride Rite quality made shoes. Did seem to run a bit on the narrow side. Did not realize they were a little narrow until granddaughter had worn them for the day. She wore them outside, so did not feel right about returning or exchanging the shoes, will donate them to someone else instead. Oh well....

My daughter loves these shoes. They are cute, comfortable, and match almost anything.

My daughter uses these for school and has not complained once about being tight fitting or uncomfortable.

Both my 4 and 2 year old girls love these shoes. I think they look cute but are also durable, comfy and easy to put on themselves. Love Stride Rite in general! Tried a few other brands but also come back to Stride Rite for my girls.

These are my daughters favorite shoes. She keeps getting a larger size as she outgrows- this in her forth pair! Very easy for her to get on and off by herself and they seem very comfy.

Really cute, my daughter loves to wear them. My only concern with these is the heel. It’s a little stiff and has kind of a lip that could rub skin raw without socks.

This is a great shoe with a non-marking, flexible sole and a very supportive insert. The sole covering the toe looks white on the image, but it's actually more of a light gray and it complements the shiny silver shoe. The embellishment on the velcro strap is a dressier, decorative touch. My 3 y.o. loves these and doesn't want to wear any other shoes at the moment. I ordered the 9.5 in wide.

Got one of these a few years ago and now got a new one in a different color. Again it didn't disappoint me! It's comfortable, sparkly, and so easy to put it on and take it off without the help of an adult.

These are my girls favorite shoes. We buy them every time each girl changes size and they continue to wear them to the bitter end each time. They truly hold up well and keep looking good for a long time. And they go with absolutely everything. Stable enough to wear out to play and stylish enough to wear the Church and nice events. Will continue to buy these for as long as they make them in my girls’ sizes or until my girls refuse to wear them.

I bought this for our five-year-old to wear at her uncle’s wedding. They were great – elegant, yet super comfortable and safe for a little girl who can’t sit still! They easily transitioned to be her school shoes too.

Ordered the gold pair in an 8.5 M for my 3 1/2 year old. They look and feel extremely well made and I am exceedingly happy with the purchase. The white rubber toe makes it a bit hard to feel her large toe wiggle to ensure that I didn't need to order up to a 9 in the shoe (all her size 9s in other styles are too large). So, she seems happy with her new party/church and dress up school shoes!

I think these shoes are very well made and are even cuter in person!

Great overall shoe! Very well made, comfortable and cute.

Very cute shoes however my daughter said they came up too high in the heel and were uncomfortable for her.

This shoe was exactly what I was looking for! I have a daughter who has to wear AFOs, and these fit perfectly over her braces.

Back to order my third pair of these. I love that they come in wide sizes. 5 year old loves sparkles and flower, I love the toned town color. They do wear out after about 6 months, but for us, it's time to size up by then anyway. Still 4 stars for the overall score due to them wearing out so they can't be passed down.

Great shoe

Nice shoe, but they seem to run large.

My daughter loved their appearance but hated the fit so much that she refused to wear them. The heel bothered her. So we returned them.

These are extremely narrow. I ordered these in a 6w for my toddler and a 12m for my 5 year old. They fit my 5 year old fairly well. The heal was very narrow and rubbed her ankle. The 6w was more like a regular width. My toddler is borderline wide width so I usually order wide just to be safe. These made her feet look like sausages and she fussed at them before she even stood up. I was hoping these would be similar to my 5 year old's previous stride rite mary jane but they are not.

I really wanted this shoe to work for my toddler. Unfortunately, the top back of the shoe rubs her heel; also, the elastic material around the top of the shoe kept turning inward.
