Pre-walkersStride Rite pre-walkers feature a unique sole design that allows for maximum flexibility while utilizing eco-friendly materials, including recycled rubber and a no-cement, natural stitch construction. The rounded rubber outsole provides babies with the stability they need as they take their "baby's first steps."
WalkersStride Rite Natural Motion System technology is what made us famous. Our Natural Motion System baby shoes feature deep flex grooves to mimic the flexibility of natural barefoot walking and a coutoured landing pad and cradle in the heel of the shoe provide extra stability for when your baby starts to walk.
Proper FitPerhaps the single most important factor when choosing shoes for your baby is getting the proper fit. A child's foot grows faster in the first two years of life than at any other point, and shoes that are not the correct length and width can lead to muscle and bone deformities that can cause numerous problems with physical development of a child's feet and legs. Did you know that the back pain you experience today could have actually been caused by wearing poorly fitting shoes when you were a baby? That is why Stride Rite offers baby shoes in four different widths, including medium, wide, extra wide and extra extra wide, and we encourage parents to bring their children into one of our retail stores to be properly measured and fitted by a trained fit specialist to ensure that your little one gets the proper baby shoes to help their feet and legs develop.
