We don’t live in Rochester anymore, but with family in the area, I always plan a stop to Schmidt Stride Rite during one of my visits. Great customer service and true understanding of kids. One of my kids did NOT like shoes and threw a fit and rip them off anytime we tried. They were so patient through the fitting and even got her to walk and ring the bell on the door before we left. Before you knew it, I couldn’t get the shoes off of her.

it is the only place I have gotten shoes for my almost 4 year old. he has wide feet and they always take the time to get the right fit. they are also don't mind waiting for him to pick his favorite one.

LOVE THIS PLACE. They measure my kids feet everytime so make sure it's always the right fit, they bring out and display all the relevant choices and best of all, they keep records of all my kids sizes so if I forget I can call and ask them when my in laws ask me and I don't know haha. They also have a punch card where you get rewards after spending X amount of money which is easy with 3 kids. The owner is awesome and it's the only place we get our kids shoes.

They were super busy but still very helpful, kind, and knowledgable. I found a good quality, wide pair of shoes my toddler needed. They have an awesome clearance section. They also have a punch card incentive program.

This place is a Gem! I have a daughter who has a wide foot, making it hard to find shoes for her. While visiting from out of town we stopped in and got the best customer service I have ever gotten! They measured her foot and showed me options and were so great with her. Being from out of town they told me how I can work with them to order shoes when she needs the next size up as I have a hard time finding wides for her. I will for sure be a shopper forever and can’t wait to see what shoes she gets when her feet get bigger! If you haven’t stopped by and shopped here it’s a must!!!!

The best children's shoe store in Rochester, period. Every single employee is helpful, kind, and great with children. We always find what we need for every season, and they've gone above and beyond during COVID to ensure we stay safe and healthy and able to get shoes in a way that's comfortable for our family (delivery or curbside pickup has been so convenient!) They even sanitized my credit card when they gave it back to me. It's apparent how much they care about their customers. We won't shop anywhere else!

During my visit at Schmitts Stride Rite, I was completely in awe and disgusted by how their COVID19 precautions were entirely disregarded and not enforced by staff. There was no social distancing or capacity limits set in place, despite how small the store actually is. There was absolutely no enforcement on wearing masks and unfortunately I witnessed multiple costumers without masks as well. I highly reccomend to stay away from this establishment as it has shown that the priority of the children's safety is not a priority for them.

I've had quite a few experiences shoes shopping in Minnesota/online and I have to say, Schmitt's Stride Rite the best shoe store I've experienced to date. It is a local/family owned business in Rochester, Minnesota and the staff is always very friendly and dedicated to getting the exact right shoe, boot, sandal, crocs etc. for your children. They specialize in children's widths, tailor to 1/2 sizes as well as everything in between!! Not much they can't do. Thanks again! Support Local!

The best place to get your children’s shoes! The ladies who work here are so kind, and patient with rambunctious toddlers. They have a great selection of shoes. We’ve been buying from here for a year and will continue to return when our child’s feet grow!

By far the best place to shop for kids shoes in the Rochester area. I always feel confident my kids are in quality shoes that fit them well. Terry and her staff is incredible. Thanks for years of great service!

The customer service is remarkable. I know my kids are leaving with the best quality shoes and the very best fit. We have been shopping at Schmitt’s Stride Rite for 12 years and almost every pair of shoes and boots that my 2 kids have worn have come from Schmitt’s. We love the punch card program...and have received several pairs of free shoes after filling our card up- such an amazing perk! Can’t recommend it enough!!
