Properly fitted shoes allow for healthy foot development

Like jelly in a mould, your baby’s feet can take on whatever shape they’re forced into, so infant shoe shapes should always match the form of the foot. In toddler shoes, the shoe is wide at the toe and narrow at the heel, a shape that will change as the foot develops.

The width and depth of a correctly fitted Stride Rite shoe ensures excess pressure is never applied to your baby’s delicate foot
Our children shoes, when fitted with our fitting charts, have built-in growing room to give children’s toes plenty of room to develop

Childrens Soccer is an Excellent Sport

Soccer is an excellent sport that can be played by almost all kids regardless of the size or athletic ability of the child. It is most noted for its excellent aerobic benefits in children, its total team participation and how it enhances an individual child’s decision-making ability.

It is also a sport that is culturally inclusive, bringing many different groups together for social interaction and competition.
Specializing in young children’s soccer shoes, Tootsies Stride Rite has been in business in Richmond, Va., since 1985.  In almost 25 years of business, we have fitted thousands of kids soccer shoes in both our retail store and online business.  For more information on Tootsies, please visit us on the web by clicking on our name, Tootsies Stride Rite,  or call us at 1-866-235-0626.

Seamless Cotton Tights – A comfortable, warm tight for those colder months

Cotton tights from Cricket Hosiery offer a warm, comfortable alternative to microfiber tights during these colder months of the year.  Girl cotton tights are ideal this time of the year because they meet school uniform dress codes. Our kid cotton tights feature “kid friendly” comfort seam toes for those girls who have a challenge with tights.  Hand-linked or kid friendly tights do not have a machine stitched seam with knots over the toes.  The hand-linked seam flattens out when put on which makes it less challenging for those children who have a problem wearing tights.  Our girl tights are constructed of 76 percent cotton for comfort and breathability and 24 percent nylon and lycra to maintain shape.

 

Our child cotton tights are available in white, off-white, navy, black, brown, pink or red, and can be purchased online by clicking on the following:  Tootsies Stride Rite  or by calling us toll free at 1-866-235-0626.

White Black Saddle Shoe for Boys –Perfect shoe for the holidays

Since 1917, the Willit Shoe Company has been manufacturing and distributing children shoes in the United States.  Based in Halifax, Pennsylvania, Willit’s Shoe Company gained a solid reputation for high quality all-leather footwear. That reputation and original dedication to detail, quality and service was responsible for the company’s growth over the years. 

 

Willits is a Children’s Footwear Supplier offering traditional children’s shoe styles that range in sizes from toddler sizes to child size 12.  From this company, we offer our traditional white/black saddle oxford with matching saddle stitch featuring a full-grain leather upper, quarter leather lining and flexible slab outsole. The white/black saddle is the ideal toddler shoe for that short pant formal outfit you purchased for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. 

 

 The white/black saddle shoe is available in sizes toddler 5 to child 12 in medium, wide and extra-wide widths.  In fitting this shoe in our Stride Rite retail store since 1985, we know that this shoe runs large.  Please order sizes smaller than your child’s current sneaker size, typically ½ of a shoe size smaller than a sneaker size, for the best fit.

 

You can order the white/black saddle shoe online by clicking on Tootsies Stride Rite, or by calling us toll free at 1-866-235-0626.

Introducing the Boys Sport Seamless Sock by Stride Rite

No-show comfort seam cotton socks with assorted colors in denim or grey for boys including colored collars and heels, stripes, etc., all by Stride Rite with a “kid friendly” comfort seam toe in 6 pairs per package. Comfort seam or seamless socks have a hand-link stitch over the toes of the sock which flattens out when put on, and therefore will eliminate the challenge of your child putting on their socks. This sock is constructed of 75 percent cotton for breathability and comfort and 22 percent nylon and 3 percent spandex to maintain shape even after many machine washings. No seam socks have become extremely popular over the past 5 years as many kids are experiencing challenges with the ridge of a seamed sock over the toes. These seamless socks will eliminate in many cases daily frustrations for both parent and child.

Seamless socks for kids are available online at Tootsies Stride Rite.  For more information or to order, either click on our store name or call us at 1-866-235-0626.

When to Buy New Shoes for Your Child

Unlike many adults, kids don’t really enjoy shopping for children shoes. But at the rate they outgrow them, trying shoes on is absolutely essential for growing feet. Here are some tips that will help you be certain that your children’s shoes fit properly, and remove some of the nightmare elements of shopping for kids’ shoes.

When to Buy New Shoes for Your Child

Unless your child complains that they are uncomfortable, you may not know when it’s time for a new pair of shoes.It’s a good idea to periodically check your children’s shoe size to make sure what they’re wearing still fits appropriately.

 

Look for particularly worn areas, or stressed seams. If the sides are bulging or wearing out more quickly than the rest of the shoe, then they may not be wide enough. Toes that bend upwards are also a sign your child’s shoes don’t fit properly, and worn out toes or heels can also mean it’s time for a new pair of children shoes.

 

 Tootsies Stride Rite has been fitting children shoes in Richmond, Virginia since 1985.  Over the past 23 years, we have acquired a reputation as being the most knowledgeable children shoe experts in the area, and now bring that fitting knowledge and experience to our online business.
