George Roderer Sr. opened the doors to Dayton’s first Roderer Shoe Center, laying the foundation for over a century of craftsmanship, care, and community.
Serving Dayton for over 100 years, our modern storefront welcomes customers with the same dedication to fit, comfort, and personalized service that started it all.
Comfortable, stylish, and supportive shoes for every stage of your child’s steps.
Built for big energy and little feet. Stride Rite boys’ shoes keep up with every step, jump, and climb.
Playful, stylish, and supportive. Stride Rite girls’ shoes are made for every twirl, skip, and adventure.
Soft, steady, and supportive. Stride Rite’s first walker shoes make every tiny step a confident one.
Messy play is no problem! Many Stride Rite shoes are machine washable, making cleanup easy while keeping kids’ feet comfy.
Stride Rite was founded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1919, originally as the Green Shoe Manufacturing Company (“Green Shoe”) by Jacob A. Slosberg and Philip Green. The Green Shoe company did not change names until 1966, forward on becoming famously known by the name, Stride Rite. The company today makes shoes for all ages, but with a special focus on first-walkers. From first time shoes with a soft sole, to machine washable youth shoes, Stride Rite specializes in adaptable children's footwear.

"I've ordered from them online only but the experience was great. The shoes I needed were sold out everywhere, even the manufacturer website, but Roderer's had them in stock online. I received them in less than a week, and even got an email from the store welcoming me to the "family." Just ordered another pair because they have all styles from this brand. I found this website by accident and I'm glad I did!"

"I just tried their new online ordering option with store pick up and it was seamless. The website was very easy to navigate on my Mac and iPhone. Ordering online was a breeze while offering a number of convenient options for payment, retrieval, and even, by appointment fitting of the shoes. Pick up at the store was quick and smooth. Within an hour I was able to select, order, and pick-up my daughter's new shoes. Basically, my experience met all the standards that I've come to expect from Roderer Shoe Center."
