About Us

 

YOUR UNIQUE SHOE STORE

What sets us apart

Schmitt's Stride Rite is as unique as shoes are! Our staff is committed to providing excellent service and custom children's shoe fittings. From different widths and lengths and even half sizes, you'll find the shoe that fits. We have shoes for every kid, including kids with orthotics, braces, and special fitting needs. Don't settle for shoes that are just okay when you could have shoes that fit perfectly.

We offer after-hours appointments as a way to help with your busy schedules. It's important to us to play an active role in our community, too, by participating in Soles4Souls, and maintaining good relationships with Mayo Clinic and Olmsted Medical Center. We're pet friendly, and we welcome service animals.

 

 About Appointments

IF THE SHOE FITS, IT MUST BE SCHMITT’S

Our why.

Schmitt’s Stride Rite has been a family-owned business for over 30 years, and we love what we do. Having shoes that fit is so important, especially for growing children. That’s why we take the time to fit your child and keep a record of their sizing so you’re taken care of every time you visit. We know you want the best for your kids–that’s why we carry the best brands and work around your schedule to ensure you get what you need when it’s convenient for you.

There’s no other place in Rochester, Minnesota to get specialized children’s shoes with exceptional customer service except at Schmitt’s Stride Rite. If the shoe fits, it must be Schmitt’s!
