Customer Reviews Stride Rite Claire (Little Kid/Big Kid)

My daughter has worn these shoes for her school uniform for the past 5 years. They started showing wear after a few months of taking abuse from my active daughter. We have managed to make it through the entire school year on each pair.

I ordered size 5.5 for my 10-year old. She normally wears size 6 in her Nike. It was big. We returned and ordered half size smaller. It was big too. But the shoes are beautiful and good quality.

Oh, THANK YOU for continuing to have this style of shoe! I have been buying this same shoe for many years for my girls for the cooler months. They get one pair of sneakers and one pair of dress shoes. A strap is a must for them as they like to still run around after church and cushioning just makes these so much more enjoyable for them to wear. They run to true to size and my girls love the ease of putting them on. They fit nicely with or without tights and don't rub or take any time to break in. Thrilled.

Purchased these for my teenager who has a difficult time finding dress shoes to accommodate her over pronation. Good luck finding stylish dress shoes for a 14 year-old. She insisted on Mary Janes and I went back to what worked when she was younger: this shoe. For many, many years. She is a size 9 in Sauconys, and we ordered these in a 6 Wide. They fit perfectly, albeit no arch support. I purchased a 3/4 arch support from Amazon and slipped them inside. She says they fit very well this way and now she feels supported. I am just glad the hunt for leather, quality dress shoes (Mary Jane, of course) is over. Please don't ever stop selling these!

Fit well, true to size, and daughter says they are comfortable.

I could find the comparable Hush Puppies I had purchased last year, and in a bind went we these for back to school. They’re ok- I probably would have loved them if we didn’t have the Hush Puppies, which we super comfortable and very similar looking but we felt slightly more fashionable.

We love these shoes! They are our go-to for the school year and a the perfect navy for uniforms. My kid can run and jump in them and they are super durable. She even wears them out of school!! We buy again and again, I am not sure what we will do when we outgrow all the sizes!

This is the second school we have purchased these. They pass our school uniform requirements, are durable (lasted most of last year), have traction for playing, and are very comfortable. I highly recommend these shoes.

Perfect everyday school shoe for my 8 year old. 2 days in and she adores them. She has a wide foot and the W is perfect.

Very nice smart shoes. Our 4 year old has worn them for 2 months so far. Perfect little uniform shoes. Very soft. Comfortable. Great for play and dress.

Perfect playground uniform shoe. My daughter plays hard these shoes are up for it- strap allows her to run and cushion sole is comfortable. Not adorable but durable and still look new after 3 months

My daughter loves this style, as do I. It is simple, yet dressy enough for essentially any special occasion. Unlike so many girls’ shoes these days, this style has no heel—which both she and I appreciate —why do kids need heels?! These are young girls’ shoes and should be comfortable...I don’t need my daughter worrying about walking “just so” so she doesn’t fall—no thank you! These shoes also do not have any of the glitter, sequins, rhinestones or other traditional girls’ shoe embellishments—which my daughter happens to hate. I’m hoping she can just keep getting the next size up until —well, really until (and including) adulthood! Classic style shoe-lovers, unite! :)

Had my 13 year daughter's foot measured at a reputable shoe store and bought a 5 1/2 big kid, which was recommended. The shoe was very big, with no arch support for my daughter.

Been buying these for years. You can’t go wrong with them.

Just right.

Comfy and perfect for school.

Great shoes. My 8 yo daughter loved them and they already survived a birthday party! They didn't rip very easily, and the leather upper is dark blue so any scuffs and marks don't show up as easily.

Classic! These are my daughter's favorite shoes.

I love these for my daughter for school (5th grade). She prefers shoes with a strap, which can be hard to find in larger sizes. They are comfortable to wear all day. Last year we bought 3 different pairs to try and kept these because they fit well and were the most comfortable. Ordered again this year in a size larger and again they were comfortable and fit well.

Ordered for school. Fit is great and shoes are comfortable.

Great for school

good fit. perfect for school.

My daughter loved them.

I have gotten these shoes three years straight. I have to say that when I've gotten any other Brand I've had to buy two for that year these are durable and comfortable. I would recommend especially since kids give shoes a beating.

My daughter will be wearing these with her school uniform. She finds them comfortable while still being a bit cute.
