text: I read all the reviews and even went into a stride rite store and tried them on but bought them here on Amazon. I'm so disappointed! It has nothing to do with Amazon and it wasn't something I could foresee when trying them on but my little one has blisters from these shoes. I even tried having her wear socks to break them in and they still give her blisters every time :( very sad and very disappointed. I have never had a problem with stride rite before and I've bought SR sole for my 3 kids for 7 years
