Cruiser™ Original - Toddler & Kid

Cruisers Redesign

We have previously purchased these shoes a number of times as our child has grown, and have been impressed with the fit, consistency and quality. One of the main reasons we purchase these shoes is for the wide toe box - our son has wider feet, and the original design of the Cruisers gave plenty of space for his toes to move. On opening the most recent pair of Cypress/Lantern Green (Size 9 US), I noticed that the shape of the toe box is completely different than it has been on all the other pairs we have owned (including a Size 8 US pair in the same colour). The toe box is narrower, and slopes inward significantly from the outer little toe area. The box also no longer has the "Certified by the American Podiatric Medical Association" logo. I contacted customer service to ask about the difference, and they shared that this will be the new design of the Cruiser shoes going forward. I appreciated the clarification, but I'm still disappointed with the change. I'm sharing here in case this is helpful to any other people who are expecting the original wider rounded toes. I have attached three photos: Photo 1 shows the pair in Cypress/Lantern Green (Size 9 US) side-by-side with one of our other Cruiser shoes where the difference in the toe box shape is clearly noticeable. Photo 2 shows the pair in Cypress/Lantern Green (Size 9 US) second from the left side-by-side with several other pairs of Stonz we have, including a Size 8 US pair in the same colour, also clearly showing the different toe box shape. Photo 3 shows the boxes for the shoes from Picture 2 side by side. The box for the pair in Cypress/Lantern Green (Size 9 US) is missing the "Certified by the American Podiatric Medical Association" logo.

The best!!
