Stride Rite Boys Little Kid Soft Motion Mason Sneaker

My little one is just starting to walk and this is a great sneaker for just that. My daughter has to wear hard bottomed shoes to daycare, so these are easy to slip on in the morning. I also love that Stride-Rite comes in half sizes - a lot of places only sell whole sizes. These are perfect for my daughter and she'll get a ton of use out of them this summer!

These sneakers are great for my new-ish walker. The soles are flexible enough for her learning feet, yet firm enough for playing outdoors in the grass, mud, and walking on the pavement. My girl has a newfound love of the dirt, and she's been beating up these sneakers. They clean up easily; the dirt and mud come right off. I haven't even washed them yet, and somehow the dirt keeps disappearing when I shake them off. I like the 2 velcro straps to ensure a proper fit.
