Stride Rite

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.)

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.

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

I was originally planning to go to the Clifton Park store, but after reading the terrible reviews from google and Facebook I saw another user recommended the Albany store instead. After doing some research because I wanted to make sure my son was going to get sneakers that fit right, and good customer service I gave the Albany store a call to see if they had what I was looking for. The lady was very friendly when I spoke to her on the phone, so I decided to get right in my car and head to the store. When I got to the store there was no other customers, so it was a speedy process. She fit my son for his size, brought out multiple pairs of sneakers and we were able to find a nice pair that fit him well and I liked very much. She even recognized my voice from the phone. Great customer service and I definitely will be going back.

Great value and attentive knowledgeable customer service 👏!

Just bought sneakers for my grandson. Great staff and service! However i tried all morning to call and it rang and rang they have a problem with their phone.

Frita was awesome! Took great care to help us pick shoes for my son.

Logan's first pair of walking shoes. Anna made it a quick and easy experience!

I love this store- we always find what my kids need!

The only store I will get my children's first pair of shoes.

Great place for baby's first pair of walking shoes!

This stride rite is great for kids and the staff are honest.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
