So I had high hopes for these shoes and they're decent, but I'd put them at the same level (maybe slightly below) Target/Stride Rite's Surprize brand except these come in 1/2 sizes.  I have actually washed these and though you can totally toss them in the washer and let them air dry...they do not wash well to remove stains.  Ours are basically grey and I'm normally really good at taking stains out, but not these...  I'm also highly disappointed in the fact that the stitching has already started to come out.  Normally with a pair of shoes like the Surprize brand...it takes a year of wearing for things to get that far.  For the price, I should have just flat out bought genuine Stride Rite shoes.  My daughter has a wider foot and these DO fit but the toe box isn't as wide as it should be if your kid has a wider foot.
