I love Stride Rite because they are so durable, flexible, lightweight and cute.  This is the second pair of these I have purchased, (outgrew the last size)  Great shoes for an active little explorer and nice enough to wear with slightly dressy clothes.  His last pair he wore for almost six months and they still look practically brand new.  These are also easy to get on little feet and I have never had a problem with them coming unfastened.
