• Freedom of movement: Ultra-flexible design allows the foot to move in many directions to help baby learn how to adapt to uneven surfaces.
“Many people do not realize how important it is for a baby to wear proper shoes while learning to walk,” said Dr. Tanya Altmann, a pediatrician and best-selling author of Mommy Calls: Dr. Tanya Answers Parents' Top 101 Questions About Babies and Toddlers. “A baby's foot can provide a rich array of sensory information from which a reliable walking program may be developed if their shoes are flexible enough to permit such feedback.”
Shoes in the SRT collection are also designed to make baby comfortable. They feature moisture-wicking linings, which help keep babies' feet drier longer, and eco-friendly materials such as a recycled EVA heel cup and a partially recycled outsole to protect baby and baby's future environment. A great feature for mom and dad is a removable insole containing a Fit Check system that easily let's them know when it is time to see a fit specialist. Mom or dad just removes the insole and places baby's foot on it. If baby's toes pass the Fit Check line, then it's time to visit Stride Rite and see a fit specialist.
The fall SRT collection is comprised of four boys' styles and seven girls' styles in baby sizes 3 to 8 in various widths, and features fun fashion touches such as suede fringe, metallic leathers and bright hints of color. Additional styles will be released in spring 2010. The collection is available at Stride Rite stores, striderite.com, better department stores and independent retailers.
