We have these in purple, because I am always looking for stride rite shoes at a reduced price on amazon and buying ahead.  She grew into these sooner than I thought and just loves them...are they tasteful? Er! Do they go with everything she wears them with? Not really! But she loves them and is evidently comfortable, as she usually is in Stride rites.

Also - my daughter's feet run narrow, and find these are narrower than some.  So that was a plus.

However, I bought them in a sale, as I say, for under thirty bucks, and I'm sorry to see how much higher the price is now.  Won't be buying more at this price...will continue to shop around for discounts on good shoes for her to grow into.
