I ordered these for my toddler grandson. His feet are thick and wide. The soft leather is like wearing nothing. He seems comfortable in them. They are well made, still after so many years. I wore Stride Rite as a kid. My kids were them and now there kids. So nice to find such a wide variety of styles, sizes and width options on Amazon with free returns. Its not an issue if you end up measuring an active toddler wrong. But I got it right the first time. They're perfect. I will be ordering water shoes soon. And now they'll be passed down to his baby brother.
