Ok ladies and gentlemen, I’ve found THE toddler shoe. Seriously. We’ve been test driving these suckers for the past week and I have officially awarded them the best Spring/Summer shoe for active toddlers.
Introducing the Stride Rite Phibian. The best all-terrain shoe for toddlers I’ve found.
Hudson is obsessed with these Stride Rite Phibian sneakers. We’ve worn them shopping, hiking, playing on the beach, on walks, and just running around the backyard. These Stride Rite Phibian shoes fit well and allow Hudson to run, skip, hop and climb to his heart’s content. They have a velcro closure on the top and bungee laces to insure a secure fit. But that’s not why I love them.
I love the Stride Rite Phibian because they’re machine washable. Which, if you have kids you know is a HUGE deal. They’re also made out of quick-dry material so you don’t have to worry about them smelling like stinky toddler feet and mold. We have several pairs of sneakers we’ve had to throw out for this exact reason!
The outsoles also have extra grip just like an athletic sneaker. So they’re a great fit for all the climbing, running, skipping that kids love to do.
So imagine a water shoe, sandal, and sneaker all rolled into one. Because of the great fit, Hudson can run and enjoy everything outside without me worrying about him falling or tripping due to slippery shoes. And I don’t have to worry about the elements at all. He can play in the sand, then jump into the ocean, then streak across the pavement and his little footsies are safe and protected. Not to mention, they’re dry and ready for play the next day. We love these Stride Rite Phibian shoes!

I’ve teamed up with Stride Rite for this blog post. All words are my own.
I just saw those in our local Stride Rite and they looked great. I may buy some for my daughter. They look like they are easier to run in than crocs.
These are awesome!!!! I have three boys that play in the mud and ruin their shoes constantly. These would be perfect!!!
I want these shoes for me! They’re washable and stylish.
I loved buying my kids Stride Rite shoes when they were little. I think these ones sound perfect for toddlers and little ones.
Those are cute, too. Taking care of kid’s feet is a super important job. Those same feet have to hold us upright for over 80 years!!
You seriously win the award for best dressed and cutest kids!!! XO
You had me at machine washable! Where were these wonder shoes when my son was younger?!?!?
My little guy would love those shoes! They look a lot like the pair he has now. He thinks that yellowy/green color is the absolute best.
Stride Rite is a great brand! Also really great with giving buy one get one 50% when buying for twins.
Cute little guy! Do all kids love shoes? My daughter always wants new shoes, and she always knows exactly what she wants! I buy a lot of canvas tennies that I can just throw in with her laundry.
Stride Rite has spent generations building their reputation for quality, so I would expect no less from any shoe they produced. And you’re right – a well-made toddler shoe that is machine washable is a huge deal!
I love Stride Rite. I always give my sister a gift card for her kids from there every year. They have such a great selection of shoes for little feet.
Those are some awesome looking kicks. I love Stride Rite shoes, they are pretty much fantastic!
We love stride right! My son has a few pairs and loves them…he tries to sleep in them.
These sound awesome! I’ll have to check out the girl version for my daughter. She needs all the extra grip she can get!
My son lived in Stride Rites for years – they are such durable, well made shoes. I like the bright colors on these, and hallelujah! Someone is making washable and quick dry toddler shoes! That’s smart 🙂
I have to say they are one of the most adorable sneakers I have seen for kids! Thanks for sharing! I am now tempted to get one for my two nephews!
My son wore Stride Rites for years. Of course he grew out of them way before they looked worn. Your photos are adorable.
I have loved Stride Rite shoes for years. I think a lot of thought is put into designing shoes for kids that are comfortable and stylish at the same time. This pair is perfect for any little boy who is active.
First of all, your son is precious! I love a shoe for kids that is durable and washable. That is all i did when mine were small. Wash clothes and stinky sneakers. So they must be durable. love these.
I love Stride Rite for kids shoes! My oldest two were in these shoes as soon as they needed shoes – and they last too! My youngest is just starting to wear shoes, and she is wearing her older sister’s old shoes – from 6 years ago! I will have to check out these ones though, she needs new ones!
Ah, this is so awesome!!! I need to get my son a pair for all of our summer adventures!
Those are some pretty sweet kicks, man! I love that their really durable and will last a while. Thats really important with a kid. 🙂
Wow it is fantastic that the shoes can go across different terrains and still be in good shape. Now that is what you call durability!
I love that the bottoms of the shoes look a bit like legos. So cute! I can definitely see how they’d work anywhere.
Omg loving these shoes!!!! They are just too cute!!! I will have to let my bestie with a little
Boy know about these 🙂
