Stride Rite Girls Big Kid Claire Mary Jane

Cute shoes, however, within 2 weeks of wearing, the color on the tops of both shoes were completely scuffed off with normal use. They look really beat up now. We are disappointed and not what we expected at this price point. I was planning that these would at least last 6-9 months until she outgrew them.

My daughter has worn this style of shoe for 4 years. We bought the original in a Stride Rite store. I am not a fan of ordering footwear online: it makes sizing difficult. We ordered up to last the whole school year and could have ordered a half size smaller. This will work well enough. The first three pairs of shoes I have handed down to friends looking like new because we use shoe polish periodically. This is the only black maryjane I have found in an xw to acommodate my daughter's soft orthotics. We placed the order on Aug 16 and the shoes arrived by Aug 31.

Okay, you have to understand that my granddaughter is highly sensitive, she hates to wear socks or underware, and shoes have been almost impossible to find a pair she will wear. She loves these shoes, the sole is so flexible that I want a pair for myself. :)

I am a big Stride Rite fan. These Claire Mary Jane's are a good quality shoe with a true to size fit. My 4 year old granddaughter has a bit of a wide foot so I always order a wide. These fit perfectly and look nice for either a casual dress or her school uniform.

My five year old loves them and says they’re super comfortable. They did scuff a little in the top toe area even though they’re leather but that’s to be expected with kids playing at recess. They do run about a half size big. I will definitely purchase again.
