worn/rip too fast for kid.  I expected them to last much more but look like typical kid shoe.  Few weeks and either rip or bottom sole open.  Cheap glue.

Great looking shoes out of the box, fit well, and my son said they were comfortable. We bought these for a 10-day trip to Europe. We didn't do anything on the trip except walk around the cities, go to restaurants, shop, etc. Attached is a picture of how these shoes looked after wearing them those 10 times. They definitely do not hold up! Disappointed in the durability for such expensive kids shoes.

I work hard for my money. I consider a pricey but well made pair of boots worth the money because I spend all day working in them. Take care of your feet and they take care of you. I spent the extra money on these with the expectation that they would last a lot longer than 3 months. The soles are worn out, the lining is ripped in the heel (which means taking off the boot now takes 5 minutes, not what I was looking for when I got slip on boots...) and they're no longer quite waterproof. I keep good care of my boots and keep the leather oiled when needed and clean of caked up dirt. I also just plain use them every day as a general contractor. I expected a lot more out of the Irish Setter boots. These fall far short of what I expected.

These have worn out too quickly.  Shortly after my son started wearing them, he was dismayed to find that most of the lights had stopped working on both shoes and now the toe reenforcement on one shoe has torn off.  For a kid who is not particularly hard on shoes, these have not held up the way Stride Rite shoes normally have in my previous experience.

I'm a big fan of Stride Rite shoes. The only brand I have ever bought for my daughter has always been Stride Rite. This is the first time I'm a bit disappointed. On the other hand, my daughter is super excited about these shoes b/c they are sparkly. She says that other kids want her shoes. I'm disappointed by the quality. After wearing them for a week, they look very worn out, especially on the front by the end of the toes. She could always wear stride rites for a year and they would still look great but these look faded on the toes. Also the strap started peeling after only 2 weeks. The shoes just look worn out after 2 weeks. They feel a little wide and big. The fit is just not 100% as I'm used to with Stride Rite. I will still remain a loyal customer though.

These shoes lasted for nearly a year before the velcro finally wore off and the sides began to  blowout. My son is pretty active and generally hard on his shoes, so I was impressed.

I like the way these shoes look but they don't last long.  Not that durable.  For the price they should be better.

Bought these as school shoes for my 6 year old. They looked great for a couple of weeks, but over the course of a month the front of the shoe was worn out. A couple of weeks after that and the sole (bottom layer of sole) came off. He had to stay in at lunch as it was flopping around all over the place! We ended up ripping it off and throwing them out. In a 9 week term, they lasted about 6 weeks. He generally isn't rough on shoes- the term before he wire a NB pair for 2 terms (5 months) before he grew out of them.

Quality isn't quite what it used to be, but little kids shoes get outgrown before they wear out anyway.

Good looking pair of boots but they wore out quickly. The patchwork started to peel away soon after purchase. Granted, these were worn by a 3 year old and they drag their toes on everything, but even considering the abuses these boots went through, I think they should have performed better. If you have a child that wants to wear boots once in a while, these should work just fine. If you have a child that will make these their primary footwear, do yourself a favor and buy a slightly higher price all leather boot.

The shoe looked very cute but it isn't as durable as the Mens/Boys DC shoes.  I bought three pair of DC's with this grouping of purchase, two boys and this for my daughter.  My boy's are still going strong and are looking great.  The girls shoe only lasted 2 months before they fell apart at the toe (mostly due to the type of materials used).  Wouldn't recommend this shoe for anyone with active kids.

These boots are nice looking and are a good alternative for younger kids who wants uggs but will outgrow them too fast to make the cost of uggs worth it. While they look good, fit well, are comfortable, and are warm I'm giving them two stars is for durability. Our daughter had them barely a month when the soles started showing obvious wear. They had not been worn every day, maybe 20 days total with most of the days spent indoors. After a couple months the soles were more or less completely smooth. Now, after six months, only three months of which when it was cold enough to wear them, they're ready for the trash. I wasn't expecting spectacular quality for the price but a pair of shoes should last more than 50-75 days of wear before being unusable. The bottom of the shoes have holes worn in them and are pulling away from the rest of the shoe. Surprisingly the rest of the shoe is still in good shape. The sherpa is a bit matted but the suede looks almost new. I just can't recommend these.

I like the look of these and my son likes the way they fit.  BUT I am disappointed that they have not held up very well.  I bought these new for him for school in late August, and I just bought ANOTHER pair of sneakers (ANOTHER BRAND) for him last week (mid-Oct) because they are very worn on the bottom and at the edges of the soles and starting to look ragged.  This is after less than 2 months of not-every-day wear and tear.  So, for the cost, no, I'm not happy with these.  A 4 yo's sneakers should last longer!

I love the look of these, love the color, but the color started to scrape off pretty quickly and he flower fell apart. For kids shoes I expected them to be a bit more durable, but unfortunately they started to come apart really quickly

I was kind of disappointed with how long these lasted. For the price, I expected much more. The only lasted about a year, although they were worn very often. Other than that, they are a great shoe, very comfortable.

I bought them for my 3 year old and after two weeks of wearing them they looked old and the inside soles were not of good quality. I will think twice before I buy another pair of this brand.

I got these shoes for my 5 yr old.  She loved them and so did everyone in her class.  She only had them for 3-4 weeks before holes started wearing in them on the toe and both sides of the shoes.  I was disappointed because they were kind of pricey but didn't hold up near as long as I expected.  I only buy saucony for myself because of the way they feel but am questioning the brand for a child.
