Stride RiteGirl's Claire 525-K

Bought two of these for my daughter's uniform and they've both held up after 6 months! Looks like they'll last through the end of this school year. (Which is unheard of with the cheapo shoes!) In fact, I've already bought another pair (one size up) in preparation for next year.+ I love that they have wide widths. That's rare in children's shoes.+ The velcro makes it very easy to take on/off+ The rubber sole on this shoe is really great. Doesn't mark up the walls. It's not too hard but also has enough cushioning.+ Sole has grip and has held up. Don't get me wrong, it is worn after 6 months, but it still has the grooves and still grips. It also wore down evenly, but that might be more a function of the way my daughter walks than the shoe itself.+ Finally the best part of it is the leather! It has held up so well. Sure, it's a bit scruffed up, but that's expected. It hasn't peeled...that's the important piece. The leather is great quality. Plus it's leather inside and out. Leather is also much more breathable than synthetic fabric. My daughter's hands and feet sweat a lot. With this shoe, her feet are able to breathe in the leather even if it's sweaty.+ Bonus: insole leather is still brand new. That just speaks to the quality. We've even thrown these into the wash and dryer and they are still in great condition.If your kids wear a uniform or the same shoe to school every day, it's important that they get enough cushioning and breathability in the shoe. I would recommend getting two to alternate so that each shoe has a day to air out. That helps to prevent stinky shoe issues. Length and width were perfect for her. But if you're unsure, just buy a few sizes and widths and return the ones that don't fit.

The shoes fit well, are attractive and well-made.

My daughter is in 3rd grade and I have bought these every year since kindergarten. I purchase wide although my daughter doesn’t have wide feet, but it’s the most comfortable for her. I purchased several sizes to get it right. They are very high quality and they last the entire school year.

I bought 3 pairs of the shoe before finding a good size (returned 2 pairs). I wanted my daughter to have room to grow and between socks and the width of her foot, there were too many variables to find a perfect fit right off the bat. She generally wears a 10.5 now but we ended up with an 11 wide. The inner lining of the shoes started peeling almost immediately, but this doesn’t alter the integrity of the shoes. Great for her to put on herself and nice and versatile for indoor/ outdoor activities.

Both of my twins have liked their new shoes. They’re light- weight, easy to put on, flexible and comfortable. And I like their formal look with school uniforms.

This exact shoe and style was worn for a few years by my older daughter, and now my younger daughter has started to wear it. Different kid, same shoe: classic design, quality construction. What really gets me is that I bought a few other brands along the past decade, and they NEVER stood up to wear like this shoe. Other shoes have the color scratch off, the top strap breaks, they look old and dingy very quickly, and they don't stand up to polishing. This shoe is evidence that craftsmanship still exists.

I loved the look of the shoesMy daughter loves them too.

I have bought these Mary Jane shoes for the last several years to go with school uniforms and never had an issue until this last order. The shoes have always been sturdy to the touch and durable - the only reason I need to get a new pair is because my daughter outgrows them. (Caveat: We do alternate with a pair of all-black sneakers throughout the school year.)This time around, however, the shoes seem flimsy and of much inferior quality. At first I considered that the quality is just not the same, as is the case with a lot of stuff today. But now I'm wondering if these are even authentic Stride Rite shoes. The reason I say this is because the shoebox and packaging inside did not match shoes. Not only was the shoe box too large for the actual shoes, it was a generic box with no indication of the Stride Rite brand. To make matters worse, the shoes on the inside did not appear to be new or at the very least looked like it was a return that someone haphazardly threw together in a men's shoebox.As I already mentioned, I purchase these shoes every year and they have always arrived in the properly branded box and packaged as new shoes are normally packaged. I have re-ordered these directly from Stride Rite and will update my review along with some comparison pictures to determine whether they are the same product or not.*Update: Buyer beware. These shoes are most definitely defective at best. I have added some photos to illustrate the differences in the packaging and the actual shoes. The shoes purchased on Amazon are on the left with the ones purchased from Stride Rite on the right. I have no idea where they're sourcing their merchandise from, but this is not a $25 shoe, much less $45. I am returning the ones from Amazon first thing tomorrow.

La marca es garantía, tal vez su precio un poco alto pero lo vale, son cómodos para los pies de los niños.

El toe box es super angosto lo que hace que se reduzca el espacio para el pie y sea una talla mas pequeña de lo que es.

I LOVE these shoes. They are very well made and provide a lot of support. Most girls dress shoes are thin, flimsy, and provide little to no support for their growing feet. I have two daughters a year apart and even after a year of wearing them they are still in perfect condition and ready to pass down to the younger one. Got them for less than half the regular price, but definitely worth the full price if I had to pay it.

No me llegó el número que pedí. Pero se veían cómodos.

Un poquito anchos, pero la niña tiene el pie muy delgado.Buen producto
