I have never been disappointed in a Stride-Rite shoe and this pair is no exception.  This particular pair of shoes is absolutely adorable.  If your daughter loves sparkle and color but you need her to have a comfortable, practical shoe then this is it.  My daughter has very narrow, thin feet. Her ankle bone is always getting blisters so the fact that this shoe has a cushioned ankle makes all the difference.  Cute bling meets comfortable durability here.
