Okay, so I might be biased because I bought these same shoes for MY kids 25+ years ago... but wow, Stride Rite still delivers!

The pink color is adorable (though I forgot to snap pics of my granddaughter wearing them - grandma fail!). What really impressed me is how these helped her transition from crawling to walking. The soles have this magical traction that gives toddlers confidence without being bulky.

Pro tip: They're machine washable! Because let's be real - toddler shoes see more mess than a daycare art class. Just toss them in with some mild detergent.

Fit is perfect - true to size with room to grow. The removable insole is genius for knowing when to size up. My daughter-in-law says they're the only shoes her picky toddler actually keeps on all day!

Pricey? Maybe. Worth every penny? Absolutely. These aren't just shoes - they're little confidence boosters for tiny feet taking big steps!
