Stride Rite's New High-Tech Toddler Shoes

Stride Rite recently launched a new line of shoes for beginning walkers equipped with Sensory Response Technology (nicknamed SRT) — and we’re big fans! The shoes, which all retail for $49, were created with the help of the Leon Root, M.D. Motion Analysis Laboratory to improve the way a child learns to walk via a sensory feedback system. This includes flexibility for growing feet and a unique design to reduce stumbles and falls.
The company’s new stabilizing footwear also sports moisture-wicking linings (to keep little feet drier) and eco-friendly materials such as a recycled EVA heel cup and a partially recycled outsole. The fall collection includes four boys’ styles and seven girls’ styles in baby sizes 3 to 8 in various widths.
We checked out the gorgeous Carly style (pictured) and I noticed that my 19-month-old daughter actually seemed more stable and confident while navigating her terrain. These shoes are a must-have for toddling tots — they literally keep them on their toes.
