These shoes totally surpassed my expectations.  They were chosen by my 3 yr old daughter while she and I were online browsing for school shoes.  They light up well and fit well.  The reason I rated it a 4 star is simply because I sometimes have difficulty fitting the Velcro straps through their slits.  She loves them and wants to wear them daily.  I'm confident they're comfortable on her foot cause she would've rejected them like she did a pair of NB sneakers I bought her.  I wish they came in black or brown as well.  Thanks stride rite for such a great school shoe.
