This is the 3rd pair of this style of shoes that I have purchased for my oldest daughter ( we have them in size 8, 9, and 11). I love the style and the construction of them. They are super comfortable for her, the leather is supple and easy for her to get on and buckle herself and she loves the little bling on the flower. In fact, she loved them so much that I didn't realize that she had outgrown her 9 and had completely skipped size 10! She didn't complain once about her feet being crammed. Best part is that the shoes all still look great and my younger daughters will get their turn to wear these shoes as hand me downs too! Love these shoes!

Bronze not brown, but Good Shoe!

PostedOctober 6, 2012
What age(s) are your children? 3, 10+
I knew these were a little bronzey when I purchased them, but I could not find a brown one in this style that fit. The bronze stood out a little more when I dressed her in the fall clothes. Still I am happy with the purchase, as it is a great shoe, comfortable, and she loves them. I do wish though, that they were brown instead of bronze.

Not what I expect from Stride Rite

PostedOctober 5, 2012
What age(s) are your children? 2
While this shoe is absolutely adorable and fits my daughter well, I was extremely dissappointed to find after just one day of wear the color on the toes rubbed right off. I have only put my daughter in Stride Rite shoes since her first pair and this was my first let down. I will have to pick a different pair of brown shoes for this Fall.

My daughter wore these to daycare. When she came home the tips of both shoes were wore off. They did not hold up well against the playground. They are adorable, just not durable.

2nd year purchase

PostedAugust 21, 2012
What age(s) are your children? 6
With my daughter's school uniform being burgundy tops and khaki bottoms, I buy several pairs of brown shoes for the school year. This is the 2nd year I've purchased these shoes. As others have stated, they have a sheen to them, and I would actually say they look like a dark bronze color as opposed to brown. I buy this "dressier" style for when she wears skirts and jumpers, and they are super adorable. They last all year long, are comfortable, my daughter likes them and I'm always pleased with the value that I get. Thanks, again Stride Rite!!

Disappointed with the durability of the leather

PostedJune 19, 2012
What age(s) are your children? 3
I bought this shoe for my 3 year old. I loved the shoe and she loved them too. I was disppointed that in no time the leather wore on the shoe and within a months time, the shoe looked like it was worn for 6 months. My daughter did not wear them to play in but for dress up. I hope Stride Rite can take a look at the leather they are using for this shoe, and correct the issue. I would get them again.

Too narrow

I always buy wide width shoes for my daughter, but these didn't work. They are fine without socks but once she put on a pair or socks (average thickness), the strap barely touched the velcro end.

Super comfy shoes for a wide little foot!

PostedNovember 4, 2011
What age(s) are your children? 2
Bought these for my almost 3-year-old for her "fancy shoes". Her other pair is twinkle toes (light up). At first, she wouldn't even put these on since they didn't light up. However, once she did put them on she insisted on wearing them right outside and hasn't wanted to wear the twinkle toes since! T-strap is perfect for chubby feet so they don't get the shoe muffin top (ouch!). I just wish wide width children's shoes were more affordable. No choice but to buy the name brands and limited styles she can wear, at whatever price is charged.

Stylish Versatile Shoe

PostedNovember 1, 2011
What age(s) are your children? 2
My 2-year-old daughter really likes this shoe. It seems to be very comfortable and fits her feet well. They can be worn with casual or dressy outfits. However, they scuff easily, appear dull, and show creases after just a few wears. Despite this, the bronze shimmer coupled with the flower over the toe still make this shoe very cute. I would recommend it if you are looking for a stylish shoe that is comfortable enough for long periods of walking.

I bought these shoes in the patent black leather and love them. they hold up to the beatings she gives them playing outside without scuffs. The only issue I have had is when we first got them I let her wear them without sock which gave her blisters But that was our fault.
other wise Great Shoe!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought a 'designer' leather Mary Jane for my 4 year old and within two weeks, the leather across the front of the shoe had completely scraped off! Awful! So, we went to Stride Rite and bought shoes we could trust to stand up to the school playground and field trips. It's been a few weeks, and except for a little scratching on the strap near the button, the shoes are holding up very well and my daughter is comfortable!

Scuffed way too easily

PostedOctober 13, 2011
What age(s) are your children? 7, 5
We bought the brown because it was one of the only brown shoes in the store that fit my daughter's wide foot. After her first wear, the shoes were scuffed really bad. It looked like they had been through months of wear and tear and I am not exaggerating. I am disappointed in two things. One, that Stride Rite does not carry a great selection of solid brown shoes in wide during the fall when that is the one color that matches a lot of the seasonal clothing. I understand that not all kids need a wide, but I would prefer more than one option and this happens every year. Secondly, I am just mad about the fact that I spent over $45 on a pair of shoes that look like I bought them in a garage sale. I hate to say it, but after 6 years of buying only stride rite, it is time to move on to online retailers. I actually found a pair of cute solid brown shoes for my oldest child, and they shipped for free.

Disappointing - Scuffed on first outing

PostedOctober 12, 2011
What age(s) are your children? 2
I was very disappointed with the selection of shoes available this season. I bought these shoes by default, as they ended up being the only winter shoe available with full support in Wide fitting.
They are certainly not as wide as last year's Striderite shoes.
My daughter wore them indoors for a week or so to test the comfort. and already I can see the leather stretching across the width of the toe area.
Then the first time that she wore them outside, both toes got scuffed and the finish is gone.
Striderite Southcenter have no polish or shoecare items that can help at all.
I'm very disappointed with these expensive shoes after only 3 weeks in.
(In contrast, I bought my son's winter shoes, the same style as last year, and we are all very happy with those)

Great Crossover shoe. We purchased the patent leather and they are great for school or dressier occasions. They seem to be holding their own in terms of wear and tear on the playground. We've gotten the classic mary janes in the past and I love them, but they weren't practical for the few times we wore them.

Scuffed too easily

I really like this shoe because it's dressy enough to pair with leggings and a dress but casual enough to use with any kind of pants as well. And my 3 1/2 year old daughter finds them comfortable and pretty easy to put on herself. But, the shoes became scuffed in the front after one wearing to school. So, they no longer look very pretty and I can imagine that they'll look very worn after just a few weeks. I'm disappointed, especially since they weren't very cheap.

My daughter has worn this shoe in brown for the past 2-3 winters, but love the casual fit and dressy look of the patent leather on this shoe! Great for running and playing at preschool, but still looks nice with an outfit. Cute with dresses, skirts, and leggins. Nice wide width appears to offer a comforable fit.
