Stride Rite Soft Motion Shoes for Toddlers – Review

When my kids first start to walk, I like to put Robeez or leather moccasins on them. For their first shoe with a hard bottom, I love the Stride Rite Soft Motion line of shoes.

*I bought these shoes with my own money and Stride Rite did not pay me to write this review.

Cost:  $20+ on Amazon

Pros:

• These shoes come in regular, wide and extra wide widths
• They are flexible, lightweight, zero drop and have a wide toe box
• The hook and loop closure at the top and the long tongue make it easy to get kids’ feet in the shoe
• The material of the shoe is soft and seems to be comfortable on my kids’ feet
• The cost is wonderfully low for a barefoot / minimalist shoe – especially since kids grow out of shoes quickly
• The shoes are great quality and are made to last, even with kids who tend to be hard on shoes
• Stride Rite Soft Motions shoes are washable and dry quickly
• These shoes come in many different styles for all occasions- sneakers, sandals, water shoes and high tops

Cons:

• Stride Rite Soft Motion shoes only come in baby/toddler sizes 3-6
