Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Stride Rite had neoprene sandals this summer. They carried both Timberland brand and the Stride Rite brand. I bought a pair of hot pink Timberlands for my 3 y/o and they lasted all summer long. Machine washable too. I also love the Stride Rite leather sandals. I have had them for the past 3 summers. They never cause blisters, very soft supple leather. If they blister- you can take them back because they were ill fitting to begin with. I buy the " boys " brown or navy ones for my daughter,they look good all season long. The white ones tend to get beat up way too quick, so I tend to stay away from them! They do start smelling like stinky feet after a while- I don't know if you can machine wash or not- I never tried.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Ok, does anyone from Canada know which store might carry a good selection of Stride Rite? Yea, you guessed it, we don't have a Stride Rite store here either lol. Don't get me wrong...we have some GREAT shopping here, trust me, just not some of the bigger chain's that you have down there. We tend to have a lot of specialty baby stores in Vancouver which is great but for sandals that she may only wear a few months, I don't want to spend $60 or 80 bucks! Funny how since the sandals thread started, I just can't wait to buy her a pair for next summer. Well it is almost Christmas so really, it's not too far off.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 , You might want to look at the shoes online, but don't buy them too soon. Feet can change sizes really quick when they are little! I really like stride rite because they have all the shoes in wide widths. Both my girls had chunky little baby feet. http://www.striderite.com/jump.jsp?itemID=0 & itemType=HOME_PAGE Jen Ava 1/18/02 Addie 8/2/04 Dobbs Brace 16/7 > > > > > > > > > > > In general, if everything goes well as expected, > > > > > > your child can wear what every you and he find > > > > > > comfortable.
