My daughter loved this sneaker as soon as we got it.  It fits true to size and is really cute.  However, the stitching around the toe is single stitch, not double stitch.  My daughter wore these 2 or 3 times before it started coming undone.  I exchanged it, hoping for better luck with another pair, but the same thing happened.  Completely unacceptable, especially with the price of stride rite shoes.  This happened both times after just a few wears.  I can't imagine these holding up for any length of time.
