We love the stride rite brand! I bought a couple other shoe brands for my son when he was very little, but the nikes kept slipping off and the target cheapos just barely made it through the short period of time that my son's foot was that size. These were the third type we bought with the lure that it fit kids with wide feet well which was a huge problem for us. I love that they fit extremely well for my son(no rubbing or pinching) and come in a variety of widths. And they stay on!!They wash easily; I just threw them in the normal load with the clothes and they came out perfect.They are of very good quality too. They are just about as good as new after my first son was done with them so we have saved them for this next little one. Because of this, I think price is definitely reasonable.We have bought every size up to the maximum and I was very sad to see the Riff line did not continue indefinitely.I also love that when my son was old enough to put on his own shoes it was easy enough for him to do himself.I personally prefer the green/blue colors that we have on some of the sizes, but as gray is the dominant color here the orange can slip by mostly unnoticed, I think, but I still wish there was a truly neutral color scheme available.I also wish that the little tag that shows what size the shoe is wouldn't fall off so easily or better yet, have a different place on the shoe where it was noted. I never knew what size he was in and had to get his foot measured each time. And for my second son, we have no idea which pair comes first - we'll have to compare them side by side.Overall, great fit + great quality + washable = excellent shoe for kids.
