The local Stride Rite stores closed by me, so they're a little hard to find (aside from the actual website, obviously). I didn't have time to wait on their shipping, so ordered through Amazon instead. Same shoe, same price. Great quality, holding up well on a very active newly-walking 12 month old. 4 was too big, so had to exchange for a 3.5. I love that Stride Rite is one of the small few who offer half sizes; I'd rather buy the next half size up more frequently, than have her falling on her face because her shoes are too big. Sandal is casual enough for shorts and a t shirt, but went perfectly with her fancier dresses. Great shoe.
