Stride Rite has been making great kid shoes for over 85 years. We're pretty sure that kids didn't wear shoes prior to that. They ran barefoot and they waited. This has not been proven.

What has been proven is that Stride Rite has a rigorous process that ensures children get shoes that fit correctly and last a long time. They're usually outgrown before they are outworn.

Their shoes range in style from classic to modern, and the quality is consistent.


The motto of the Stride Rite brand is "Life's waiting. Let's go." We love stuff like that.

From the website: Life's waiting. With trees to climb. Dance floors to twirl on. Bikes and balls. One day our kids are clutching our hands. The next day they're off. Stride Rite is the one company that's been helping kids run, leap, grow and playfully express themselves since 1919. Let's go.

Sounds about rite (see what we did there?).
