We have this shoe in the pink color and it is super cute - very sparkly and our 4yo loves the lights. BUT it is really difficult for us to get the shoe on her, IMPOSSIBLE for her to put them on herself (and she can put on all her other shoes, including sneakers, by herself). She seems ok with the fit once they are on (she is a M width) but the opening to get them on is really tight. It is so much of a struggle to get these shoes on her, I want to return them. But my husband wants to keep them, says maybe they will stretch out (she's been wearing them for a week). Anyway, we usually like stride rite but I would NOT recommend this shoe.
