I ordered these Stride Rite First Walker shoes for our granddaughter.  I love this brand of shoes for children; I always bought Stride Rite shoes for my children when they were small and was always very pleased with the quality, appearance, and fit. I have continued this tradition with two of our grandchildren.  A good fitting shoe that is quality made is very important for everyone's feet.  Stride Rite shoes are a wonderful choice for beginning walkers.  (I ordered the shoes a little big, but Rachael is wearing them and will be able to use them for some time to come before she outgrows them).  I would highly recommend.
