Frequently Asked Questions

• Product features, Fit & Care

  DOES STRIDE FOOTWEAR HELP WITH NEUROPATHY?

  Yes. STRIDE Footwear is thoughtfully designed to support people dealing with neuropathy. Features like a roomy toe box, soft non-restrictive upper, slip-resistant outsole, and a flat, flexible sole help reduce pressure points, improve comfort, and support healthy circulation for sensitive feet.

  IS STRIDE FOOTWEAR SUITABLE FOR PLANTAR FASCIITIS?

  Yes. STRIDE Footwear promotes natural foot alignment and movement while minimizing stress on the heel and plantar fascia. Its ergonomic shape helps distribute pressure more evenly, which can be beneficial for individuals managing plantar fasciitis.

  DOES STRIDE FOOTWEAR INCLUDE ARCH SUPPORT?

  STRIDE follows a barefoot-inspired design, meaning there is no built-in arch support. This allows the foot to move naturally. For those who need additional support, optional orthopedic insoles can be used.

  DOES STRIDE FOOTWEAR FIT TRUE TO SIZE?

  Most customers find STRIDE Footwear fits true to size. If you have wider feet or plan to use orthotic insoles, we recommend checking the size guide and sizing up if you’re between sizes.

  SHOULD I WEAR SOCKS WITH STRIDE FOOTWEAR?

  That’s entirely up to you. STRIDE shoes are designed to be comfortable and breathable with or without socks. Some wearers prefer moisture-wicking socks for added hygiene and comfort, while others enjoy the sock-free feel.

  WHAT MATERIALS ARE USED IN STRIDE SHOES?

  STRIDE barefoot shoes are made using high-quality materials chosen for comfort, durability, and performance:

  • Upper: Premium polyester for a lightweight yet supportive fit
    
  • Sole: Organic rubber for flexibility, grip, and ground feel
    
  • Winter Models: Feature the same organic rubber sole, with an added insulated insole combining EVA and cotton wool to provide warmth in colder conditions
    

  ARE STRIDE SHOES WASHABLE?

  Yes. Most STRIDE models can be cleaned easily. For everyday care, wipe them with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, remove the insoles and gently hand-wash with mild soap and water. Machine washing is also possible on a delicate or gentle cycle.

  HOW DO I CLEAN STRIDE FOOTWEAR?

  Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap to spot clean. Insoles can be removed and cleaned separately if needed.
