My Grandson liked these so much we had to buy them again in the bigger size when his feet grew.

Smart details

PostedApril 15, 2013
As usual, Stride Rite designers have paid attention to detail. The typical Z-strap type shoe like this comes with lots of problems. They usually fit too loosely and fall off the foot when running, and the straps that fold across the front often become stretched out and useless. This product has a few features that keep this from happening. Strong elastic connects the two sides of the shoe on the top- like webbing in webbed feet. Also the "z-strap" is actually two separate pieces rather than one that slides through a connector on one side. Smart little detail. It's also incredibly light and "fast" according to my son. I would rate it a bit on the narrow side. Not a problem for the structure of our feet, but it might be for some.

Not as expected for a wide shoe.

Bought these for my grandson. Could not get them on his feet, I ordered wide. There is an elastic strap that hold the two sides of the shoes together under the tongue that would not permit the foot to slide easily. Returned them.

Cute shoes- great value

My son loves these shoes! They were a great value and seem very sturdy. As others have mentioned, they are more narrow than other wide shoes. I always buy my son wides, but these were definitely a bit tight the first few times we put them on. The only real problem for wide feet is with the elastic across the top of the shoe when you put them on. Once we got his foot in, he said they were really comfy. After wearing them for a week now, the elastic has loosened up a bit.

The power of a good fitting shoe!

My kids have narrow heals and feet. Finding shoes that stay on their feet that they don't walk out of is difficult. These shoes are awesome! They are light, stay on their feet and fit great! My 3 year old calls them his racing shoes because he can run fast in them with out tripping! I bought them for my 5 year old daughter and they both did laps in the house for an hour on this cold January day claiming they are the fasted shoes ever! The power of a good fitting shoe!

Favorite Shoe!

PostedJanuary 9, 2013

I bought these shoes for my 3 yr old son. I got them in a 12W because my son is my "little bigfoot" & he loves them!! He wore them for 2 days straight & said they were his favorite shoes. My only small complaint would be that they are just a tad more narrow than other Wides that I have tried from stride rite. I didn't have trouble getting them on, but they do have a snug fit. They are super lightweight though & my son gets around very easily in them.

VERY narrow

I buy my son's shoes in wide even though he no longer requires it. That said, the wide on this shoe was an absolute struggle to get on his foot and he complained it hurt him when on. We had to bring it back to a store so I could make sure the next type we fit would work. If your child dislikes snug shoes, avoid these.

Super cute shoes!

I purchased these for my 3-year old son and he loves them! I bought these along with the "Dallas" sneaker. It's the style that grabbed me first when I bought them. They are nice and light-weight which is great for little feet. I bought them in a wide, but they are a bit snug on him as there is an elastic band when you slide the foot in. Once you get it in, he says they are comfortable. He calls them his "Lava" shoes from the movie "Shark Boy and Lava Girl." :-) Super cute, goes with all his clothes and they are very durable. I like a well-made shoe for my kids as they are very active outdoors.

Not for a chunky foot

PostedAugust 9, 2012
What age(s) are your children? 2
Tried these in a 9W and was shocked how hard they were to get on my 2 yr old's foot. These shoes are very cute, but have an unforgiving elastic band that does not welcome a chunky, high arched foot. Once we struggled to get the shoe on, my toddler seemed to like them. However, between struggling to get them on and being fearful that they would really be too tight across the top in the long run, they got sent back.
