Sustainability Summary
- This is an unclaimed profile. Stride Rite has not joined Sustainability Tracker to verify their sustainability credentials. We gathered what we could from public sources.
Stride Rite presents sustainability mainly through product materials, packaging choices, and inclusive footwear design. The brand’s Stride Forward collection uses recycled polyester, recycled rubber, recycled twill lining, and a boot made with materials described as eco-conscious. It also states that packaging uses FSC-certified sustainable sourcing, plant-based inks, elimination of toxic materials, and limited factory waste. Alongside environmental measures, Stride Rite has a separate inclusion-focused initiative, Project Fits Rite, which offers adaptable footwear for children who wear orthotics, braces, or need wider widths. The brand also works with the Runway of Dreams Foundation on adaptive design and public inclusion initiatives.
