Made for Little Adventurers
Since 1919, Stride Rite has been engineering footwear specifically to help kids be their best — Stride Rite kicks are designed to build strength, coordination, and confidence.
They only use the safest materials and kid-friendly technology. Rigorous product testing ensures every pair of shoes is ready for your little one. Sneaker tech like Stride Rite Soft Motion™ and SRtech™ is approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).
They also offer special width sizing to fit children’s growing feet. Stride Rite continues to innovate to create shoes that help kids go farther.
Stride Rite Support
Stride Rite shoes offer incredible support for tiny feet. Every model delivers a top-quality fit and feel.
The stylish uppers are made with recycled leather or synthetic textiles, including nylon blends. They’re durable, lightweight, and a breeze to clean, so Stride Rites can stay sharp.
Woven mesh designs offer ventilation, keeping feet dry and cool. This breathability is ideal for hot summer days and sweaty activities. Linings receive an antimicrobial treatment that reduces odor for a fresh feel.
Stride Rite uses featherlight EVA midsoles to cushion each step, absorbing shock and propelling the foot forward. This allows kids to stay energized longer and avoid sore or tired feet. The soft but firm midsole creates an inviting footbed that keeps them comfy all day.
Every pair has a solid rubber outsole that provides excellent traction, even on wet and slippery surfaces. Kids can feel stable and grounded every time they put on their Stride Rites.
Other features cater specifically to children. The oversized foot opening makes it easy for young kids to take the shoes on and off. Hook and loop closures with elastic faux laces are convenient and quick but look polished.
Extra padding inside the collar and tongue ensures the shoe doesn’t cut into kids’ ankles, offering a plush feel and cozy fit. The shoes have a relaxed silhouette, allowing kids to wiggle their toes and enjoy a full range of motion.
Help Them Stride in Style
Stride Rite shoes are playful and eye-catching. Designed for kids, they’re colorful and bright, with colorblock designs, ombre styles, floral overlays, and more.
Stride Rite kicks are timeless, with rich colors and sleek designs. Get them in vibrant hues like hot pink, teal, fuchsia, royal purple, and cherry red. We also have more subtle shades, including baby pink, navy blue, olive green, and heather grey.
Some styles, like the Zips Runner, offer a more sophisticated and vintage vibe. Other options, like the Lighted Glimmer sneakers, have an ethereal and futuristic feel.
With so many bold and fun designs, kids of all ages can express themselves in their Stride Rites.
