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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

Great for school

good fit. perfect for school.

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! :)

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.

I measured my 8 year olds foot w a tape measure and for her 9inch foot the sizing was 7 1/2 which is 1 to 1 1/2 sizes bigger than her size in other shoes. They fit her and she wears them to school as part of her uniform with no complaints.

I purchased these as my daughter's school uniform shoe. They come in wide which is what we need. She's had them before. Solid shoe. I just wish Stride Ride would improve the look. They are not cute at all.

Had to order 3 sizes before getting the right one. My daughter had these last year and they were true to size but something is different this year. Otherwise she likes the shoe itself.

There's a huge difference in sizes from 3.5 to 3. The 3.5 was about a size too big and the 3 was a half size too small! Kind of frustrating:(

Very disappointed. We purchased these shoes in January 2024. They’ve been worn only on Fridays (so 5 times total) for my daughter’s school uniform, and they have not held up. The insides are peeling, the front toe is scraped and they look absolutely awful. My other daughter got the same pair and they too are breaking down. Not what is expected from striderite and the $$ spent on these. They wore another brand for a full year and they held up beautifully- this shoe is not worth it.

I buy these every school year for my daughter.
