I love the Stride Rite shoes. These 2 pairs of boots I purchased for my 2 granddaughters. I also buy these shoes for my grandson whom I am helping raise. My grandson is very big for his age & I have trouble finding popular shoes for his wide feet in sizes to fit him. I have bought this brand for the last 5 years. They wear well, are very comfortable, and stylish for him (especially the light up shoes). I am so very grateful that Stride Rite offers shoes in wide sizes that he absolutely loves. The boots are very stylish & cute & the girls love them. They are plenty roomy for thick, warm socks to help keep little feet warm & cozy. The adjustable strap at top allows to tighten some to help keep them on their feet. I very highly recommend any shoe Stride Rite sells. At least I have had nothing but excellent results from sticking to this brand.
