Great leather shoes - We really love these shoes as they are super comfy and cute. We only wanted to go with leather as it's the healthiest for babies and the wide option was perfect as our 1-year old has very pudgy feet. Great buy!

Too narrow for chubby feet - My son has small wide feet and could not even get these shoes on even though we had purchased the wide size.

Great sandals for a rough boy - These look great on my toddler and they seem to hold up pretty well. They clean up very easily, too, just wipe down with a damp cloth. They look great with dressed up clothes and play clothes. He seems to enjoy them... he hasn't taken them off yet! He also has the same pair in brown.

Zappos helped us "stride right"- My toddler loves his new shoes! They seem to be comfortable for him and they look great, even after a few weeks of wear and chewing. My favorite thing about ordering them was how easy they were to shop for...especially after the lack of care I got at the original store I got my son sized at. Zappos search is great...I just loaded his size in and could see all of the styles available. It was easy and stress free. With four kids, the easier the better, plus I didn't have to drive and the shipping was free and quick! Thank you!

A nice and stylish leather sandal for a toddler - I like Stride Rite for my son, as they wear like iron and because their leather interiors are well designed to keep the kids' feet from getting sweaty. The First Mate was the only brown one I could get at the time my son needed them (his growth spurts don't coincide with sales or seasons). I would have preferred their Guppy, as it has one more crosswise strap and the straps are all less wide because of that, but First Mate does well enough. My son wears them cheerfully (is not old enough to tell me "Gee, Mommy, these feel nice," but I take his wearing them comfortably as a sign) and they get compliments. As with most leather sandals for children, these can be worn casually or for a dressy summer occasion. With Stride Rite, if your child has wide feet, get the wide size. They are not narrower than sized, but they aren't any wider than sized either.
