 Decent Shoe, Good Price March 22, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
To be honest, we purchased this shoe for two reasons:
1) My son loved the looks of it online
2) Daddy loved the price of $35 which is cheap for Stride Rite
Good:
This shoe is super easy for kids to get on or off. It does have a cool look to them and with any Stride Rite, the quality and feel of the shoe is excellent. We've had them for almost two months now and they are holding up as well as any shoe can for a 3 year old boy.
Bad:
We are all into shoes that have velcro for it makes going anywhere with the kids one less headache to mess with. Unfortunately, this style of velcro just basically laps over the top of the shoe. There is no "loop" it goes through where you can really get a good tight fit on the foot. You can pretty much rig it where you get a decent, tight fit, but I think this sort of style is a bit too gimmicky. I'd rather have a regular latching velcro system.
Bottom Line:
Great price. Great style (looking) but the functionality of the velcro latch system would probably keep me from recommending to others. It's not a bad shoe at all, but when you deal with Stride Rite and the price tag they come with, they better be 5 star shoes all around. Sadly, these aren't, but if you are on a tight budget, these will work especially when compared to the cheaper store bought shoes you get for under $20.
