Stride Rite Girls Big Kid Claire Mary Jane

These shoes are very cute and my 5 year old said they are the most comfortable shoes she has ever owned. The reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the strap has threads constantly unraveling that I have to tidy up. It's not the end of the world but it's definitely been an annoyance since day 1.

I have been purchasing Stride Rite shoes for over 12 years, for both my son and daughter. I have purchased over 10 pairs of Mary Janes for my 8 year old daughter and these are by far the best ones I have ever purchased! My daughter has narrow feet so we have had issues with the leather cracking because of them being too big. We have had these for over a month and they are holding up great.

I bought these shoes for my 4 year old starting pre -K. I was very excited as I was replacing them with a pair of Mary Janes stride rites I had bought which seems to be too small and was uncomfortable for her that first week. These were no different, my expectations for this brand was it was catered to those with feet issues giving them comfort. My daughter has a wide foot and even the extra wide was very narrow. I ended up buying her sketchers T straps that she loved immediately and were comfortable. The stride Rites the teacher kept them off her feet until it was time to go outside. I was very disappointed in both the shoes bought

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.

My oldest daughter has a pair and after 2 weeks, they already look worn. I ordered a pair for my youngest daughter before I noticed the wear and tear of my oldest daughter's shoes.I had to return them because the size was too big. I'm glad I did because now I see the shoes will not last very long.
