Skidders Footwear Inc.’s line of innovative products has grown immensely since opening their doors for business back in mid-2008. With safety at the core of Skidders unique line of gripper footwear products, the brand is crafted to fit a family’s active lifestyle with a range of socks and shoes that are comfortable, versatile, stylish and safe. What started out a few years ago as a small collection of toddler shoes, Skidders now has 30 collections and over 550 styles.

Skidders Footwear made their debut with the original Skidders Shoe - a patented children's shoe that features a soft flexible rubber outsole that provides enhanced traction indoors and outdoors. The machine-washable shoes were an instant hit with parents who loved the added protection and easy pull-on and pull-off capability. Next, the New York-based company decided to create a ‘true’ gripper sock. Unlike the typical grip socks with little dots on the bottom, Skidders developed and launched the original Skidders Sock, featuring a fully fused gripper bottom for maximum traction on hardwood and tile floors.

Skidders then underwent a fast pace licensing expansion and developed dynamic collections to include licenses from MLB Baseball Teams, NCAA Collegiate Teams and NFL Football Teams, as well as character brands such as Spongebob Squarepants, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go and Thomas the Tank.

Furthermore, in response to popular demand from over 100,000 fans on Skidders Facebook page, Skidders launched a Women’s Collection of Gripper Socks and Slippers for all those mothers running around on wood floors chasing after their kids. Skidders has developed several new collections for women to include Spa Grip Socks, Fitness Grip Socks, Comfort Flat Shoes, Licensed NFL and CLC products and several more products that are still in the development pipeline.

Today, Skidders products are sold in over 25 countries and to over 10,000 retail outlets across the United States. As Skidders Footwear continues to grow, they remain focused on innovative products that improve and nurture a healthy, active and fulfilling lifestyle for both the Mother and their children. The full collection can be viewed at their website SKIDDERS.com.

Skidders Shoes - Pediatricians and podiatrists agree that a baby's first walking shoes should be flexible, thin and lightweight. The child should be able to feel the ground underneath the foot. The original Skidders Shoes provide added benefits using a soft rubber outsole for enhanced traction indoors on wood and tile floors, and also durable enough to use outdoors and at the playground. Furthermore, the knit upper allows kids to dress themselves without fuddling with laces or velcro straps, giving them the confidence to be independent.

Pediatricians and podiatrists also agree that the shoes should fit snugly around the child's foot but still be comfortable. Skidders shoes are extremely comfortable.

Skidders Socks - Children need to be safe when running around a house with wood and smooth tile flooring. The Skidders gripper sock collection provide enhanced traction to prevent slipping and falling. Our innovative grip socks are unlike any other socks on the market because we care about safety. Other companies put simple dots on the sock bottom and call them non-slip. We don't agree! At Skidders footwear, we make real gripper socks that are soft, comfortable and truly non-slip.

Skidders Slippers – Skidders introduced a collection of Slipper Grips & Gripper Slippers for Baby, Kids and Women. The Slipper Grips are plush foot coverings with Sherpa lining and fused gripper bottoms to keep feet warm and cozy. The Gripper Slipper collection is a more durable slipper shoe developed using our proprietary Skidders outsole so kids can wear them outdoors too!

Safety at Home – Falling down is the #1 injury in the home and it can be prevented. If you're going to walk around your home, especially if you have wood or smooth tiles floors, you should have socks with non-slip bottoms. At Skidders, we make Gripper Footwear to provide enhanced traction and safety. Our gripper socks have durable treads with full coverage, while also making sure the fit is comfortable and secure.
