Stride Rite

"Went here for the first time today and had a great experience! Excellent service and very welcoming for kids. Will definitely be going back."

"Bought our sons first real shoes there and had a wonderful experience. The staff are clearly very comfortable with kids and gave us good insight into how to test if a shoe fits accurately. The shoes might be a bit more expensive than something youd find at target but the experience more than made up for it."

"Independently owned kids' Stride Rite stores are such a rarity nowadays. They are a treasure and should be patronized whenever possible. We got great service here, with my kiddo's feet being painstakingly measured, and the woman who helped us was exceedingly patient as my kiddo insisted on three laps around the store in each pair of shoes (even the ones that were just different-color copies of each other). There are only 21 of these stores left in the entire country. We'd all be a lot worse off if we lost any more! (And no, they don't only carry Stride Rite brand. They also carry Keen, Merrills, Tsukihoki, Skechers, and I'm sure others.)"

"1) staff was so rude - I asked what the price was for a pack of three socks and was told it was $13.95… the pack of six socks had a label that said $14.00… I said great I’ll take the six… with a serious face the individual at the register said, that’s just what the label sticker price says.. it isn’t the actual price - the price is $16.00. Shocked, I asked how this could be… the response was “because the owner can charge that price, the label is just a suggested price” 2) already annoyed, I asked about the new balance toddler shoes… and before I could finish my sentence, the employee abruptly said “our sizes are different here; if you’re fitted for a shoe, it won’t fit the same somewhere else…” I’m confused…so a New Balance show would fit differently in another store, even it was the same exact shoe? Makes no sense. Needless to say, we left. I can’t believe a business could survive with staff that has no regard for customers."

"Absolutely the best customer service. They provide something that u cannot find. They measure ur child and fit them to the correct size and width they are sopossed to be wearing in many styles and brand of shoes. Dozens of name brands and a precise fit and room to grow. They have many locations through Connecticut, 2 in Massachusetts and 2 in up state NY."
