Target's Stride Rite Shoes

[Deleted]

Did anyone get these?  Is the coupon from last week (that I probably threw out) still good? What was the stock like in your store? How does the quality and sizing compare to regular Stride Rite?

I got them for DS who just started walking. Actually he still crawls about half the time.

I like them a lot. They are not AS flexible as the beginner stride rites but they are flexible and he walks in them waaaay better than non-SR.

My store had a great selection. I got them maybe 2 weeks ago.

Okay here's a comparison (squeezing the same) to these "real" stride rites (which are more sandal like so maybe it's not fair)


Top is Target Stride Rite
Bottom is actual Stride Rite


ETA: Sizing is consistent. He's a 4 in both
Although W in the actual and not wide in the target (I don't think I saw wide)

I got a pair last week for DS1 as new school shoes. He hasn't worn them yet, but stock in the store was good. I didn't know there was a coupon so I paid full price, which still wasn't bad.

I didn't buy any but I noticed a sign last week about $5 off a $25 purchase on the Stride Rite shoes...and all the shoes seemed to be $24.99.

We bought the same as ladybug. No complaints so far. I didn't use a coupon.

Well they were out of Size 8s in the Stride Rites (except for a brown boot type that I didn't like) so I got Champion shoes -

BTW how is he a size 8 already?

I'm boycotting SR since they've been telling me my kid is a wide when two different Nordstrom people told me she's definitely not a wide. They're either idiots or fibbing so I buy SR shoes since wides are harder to come by.

At Target the Stride Rite display has a sign saying 60% of kids have wide feet so SR is wider to accommodate that. I guess that means being too wide for regular SR is really wide. Weird.

What brands does she fit that are not wides? I still haven't found non-wide shoes that fit well. My daughters foot doesn't LOOK wide, but I guess it's the puffy/tall wide based on how her shoes fit? Honestly though I haven't had her measured anywhere else so she might actually be in wides.

I didn't like the fabric of the ones at our Target and they're not much cheaper than I get SR on sale, so I didn't bother.

I just got her these during the anniversary sale. Cora has a high instep but not a wide foot. She can wear Sauconys too but they're so clunky she's always tripping. These are light and flexible.

Thanks. I'll check those out. The Velcro sauconys didn't close very well over the top of M's foot so I'm not sure these would work better, but I'm going to need more shoe options for fall!
