Why Our Shoes Start at Just $9.9

Why Our Shoes Start at Just $9.9

At Strid Shoes, we often get asked: “How can your shoes be so affordable?” The answer is simple—we choose to keep them that way.

We Believe Everyone Deserves Quality Shoes

Have you ever seen someone walking barefoot, not by choice, but because they simply can’t afford a decent pair of shoes? Our founder, Ray, has. After traveling across different parts of the world, he saw firsthand that for many, even the most basic pair of shoes is a luxury. That’s why we started Strid Shoes—to make sure that good shoes aren’t just for those who can afford high prices.

The Power of Our Own Factory

We’ve been making shoes for over 20 years. Unlike big brands that outsource production and add hefty markups, we own our factory and control every step—from sourcing materials to the final product. This means we can cut costs without cutting quality.

A Crazy 2% Profit Margin? Yes, Really.

Most companies aim for big profits, but we run on just 2% per pair. That’s because we’re not relying solely on Strid Shoes to keep our factory running—we also produce shoes for other brands through OEM manufacturing. That steady business allows us to keep Strid Shoes’ prices low and our mission alive.

We Focus on Quality, Not Hype

We won’t pretend to be the next high-fashion brand, and we don’t spend millions on marketing. What we do instead is make shoes that last, feel good, and look great—all without the overpriced labels.

Let’s Bring Affordable Shoes to the World, Together

If you own a small shoe store, a market stall, or an online shop, we’d love to work with you. Strid Shoes is all about making quality footwear accessible, and with the right partners, we can bring affordable, durable shoes to even more people worldwide.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about shoes—it’s about helping people take their next step forward.
