We have had these shoes for 5 weeks. They are very cute and my 15 month old son seems to really like them.  The reason for only two stars is that I noticed last night that the stitching around the toe area has broken and come out.  This is not the quality I have come to expect from Stride Rite and am deeply disappointed.  I wish I would have heeded the advice of other reviewers that mentioned the same problem.
