10 Reasons to choose Start-rite
Style & Choice - (Start-rite offers a selection of stylish footwear from pre-walkers to school and out of school shoes, trainers and sandals to willies.)
Best Fit - (Start-rite shoes come in a whole and half sizes and up to six width fittings – that’s more width fittings than any other children’s brand. And there’s generous growing room built into every pair.)
Premium Quality Leathers - (Only the highest grade leathers are used to make our footwear. This means Start-rite shoes not only look great, they are hard-wearing and comfortable too.)
Dyed-Through Leathers - (Start rite leathers are ‘dyed through’, which means they keep their colour even after scuffing. With a quick polish they’ll look as good as new.)
Elongated Heel Stiffener - (Many Styles incorporate Start-rite’s unique elongated heel stiffener which extends around the heel and down the inside of the shoe to help counteract pronation (a common condition in childhood where the feet roll inwards), improve heel fit and maximise growing room.)
Durable soles - (Soles are made of flexible, lightweight and durable materials and are non-slip.)
Washable Materials - (Many of our canvas shoes are fully machine washable at 40 C. All Pre-walkers are also machine washable.)
Breathable Linings - (Startrite shoes have leather socks and linings, or breathable sports linings. These draw moisture away from the feet and allow it to escape through the surface of the shoe, providing a healthy, comfortable environment for growing feet.)
Comprehensive Fit Testing - (During development we take new styles into schools and playgroups for ‘on foot’ fit checks and wear-trials to make sure they offer a safe, comfortable fit during everyday use.)
Quality Controls - (Strict quality controls are in place at all stages during design, development and manufacture to ensure Startrite and Rhino products always meet the highest quality standards.
