Stride Rite 360Unisex-Baby Taye 2.0 First Walker Shoe

Truly the best first shoe. My baby LOVES her shoes and brings them to me for me to put on her. There is memory foam padding that can be taken out if they have a wide foot. I just used the stride rite website for sizing instructions to figure out if mine needed the insert or not. They are leather and they clean up really easily with soap and warm water, and seem to keep her feet dry with a decent amount of water exposure. Stitching is high quality and the Velcro is durable and withstands frequent use. I will be buying these in bigger sizes for the future. They look cute with dressy and casual outfits. They do not impede her ability to walk at all and give her the traction she needs to walk on all surfaces without falling. they're so easy to put on and take off and seem genuinely comfortable for them to wear.

We are on our THIRD pair of these shoes because we love them so much! They fit great on littles even if they have wider feet. They can take a beating without falling apart, and are very easy to clean and have a sturdy sole for new walkers. They run true to size.

We live striderite shoes. They are super cute, comfortable and great for new walkers. They are wider than normal shoes and are easy to put on and take off. They are lightweight and have a rubber bottom so they are not slippery.

These shoes are perfect for my newly walking toddler. They are comfortable and sturdy, exactly what we were looking for in a first shoe. Plus they are so cute and go with all her pink outfits!

Original post (with a 4 star review:) We bought a pair of these and our toddler wore them out, so we had to get a second pair the same size. Somehow, we thought they were too big. But the tag said size 5, as we ordered. Finally, after a month, we noticed that one shoe is size 5 (the one we checked) and the other one is size 6... Unfortunately, the return window is past.Still, a great shoe. Very cute.Update:Seller refunded our money. We had already ordered (and received) a new pair (same shoe), so getting the refund was a pleasant surprise. Nice to deal with a company that shows integrity.

Love these for my toddler they’re light weight but good quality and she seems to be walking better in them since they aren’t too heavy or narrow

My baby is walking so much better she’s 14 months old and taking a long time to walk, I bought these and a day later her walking ability improved!!! She wears a size 5 so they fit perfectly. This shoe is made really well and I got pink !

Cute and, from what I can tell without having worn them, performing well on the field. They are made from the kind of material you would expect in an adult sneaker meant to withstand high activity. Only thing that annoys me is that the Velcro straps are so short. When I bought them for my baby, she was just outgrowing her old shoes so I figured the next size up would be a little big on her initially. Even with that I feel like I have to press the tongue down and squeeze the sides of the shoe together just to get the strap to cover all of its velcro counterpart on the body of the shoe. Seems like when her feet fill out the shoe properly it’ll look like they’re too small for her if you judge just by the strap.Bottom line though, a wide toe box is the most important thing in an everyday baby shoe and I don’t mind the little investment, even with certain aesthetic shortcomings.
