Not sure what planet I have been living on but I had no idea that this brand was high end. :) I seriously passed up 2 pairs last weekend. They were well used, but still had some wear, but I was being el-cheapo and thought they were priced a bit high for the condition they were in. Good thing I read your blog, Tara! :) I won't make that mistake again. Bailey's are adorable!!! So…if I see a pair of Stride Rite sandals at a yard sale for $1, I should buy them?

Although our sales lady wasn't rude or anything when we got Scout's first good shoes from SR, I kept thinking to myself that she didn't seen very competent at all. For $42 for baby shoes, you should get good customer service and people who know what they're doing. Hope you have better luck when you go back!!! Those sandals are SUPER cute, BTW. And I agree w/ Dawn...kudos to you for getting some comfy high-quality kicks for your gal's growing feet ;) That is so awful about the sales lady – seriously – I hope she gets reprimanded for the bad job she did.

Let me tell ya..my bad feet are a result of poor fitted shoes when I was little. Details of that aside, LOL, it's so good to splurge on great shoes. And since Bailey is 1 her growth is slowing down for a little while like all 1-3 year olds, so kudos to you for doing it now. That's my assvice. Sorry. I just felt the need to send some kudos. Oh and the customer service, dude, that really bugs me. I worked in retail management for a quite a few years before having kids and let me tell ya, that woman should be written up for that. No joke.

They tried to put Luke in an extra wide as a baby, and he never has worn even a wide. Just an FYI...you can sometimes find Munchkin brand shoes (made by SR) at Kohls for a fraction of the cost. And they're usually adorable! We’ve also not had great luck with SR…mainly with the employees and their lack of ability to measure my kids’ feet.

I'm just not impressed...so overpriced for shoes that might get two months of wear. Audrey had one pair of shoes from there and they were awful. They rubbed blisters on the back of her heels. She's actually done really well with shoes from Target or Payless in terms of fit...and I won't complain about that ;) Some people swear by Stride Rite, but I have never had luck.
