We always get a proper fit and long lasting shoes. My 4&6 yo boys wear a lot of shoes out within weeks. We’ve had a lot of success with the Merrel, stride rite, and tsukihoshi brands lasting a long time. These are not cheap brands but find they’re worth it.

It was my baby's first shoes ever to try out. A person who helps us out was great, actually beyond great! But my daughter didn't appreciate it so she was crying after she try the shoes out so have to rush out of the store. I feel so bad, we are definitely coming back after she calms down for bit.
