STOKE Shoes is launching its inaugural footwear collection in over 450 retail stores nationwide — from Scheels, Murdoch's, and Academy Sports + Outdoors to Rack Room Shoes, Shoe Department, and more. This rapid expansion follows a successful direct-to-consumer debut.
STOKE Shoes' product line is explicitly designed to address the fit and comfort needs of the majority of American men who have wide feet. The capsule features styles like the FO-MO and VERSA. These silhouettes are engineered around a wider platform and incorporate specific technologies such as a high-cushion sole and a flexible upper. These features serve to accommodate the natural expansion of feet during daily activity.
STOKE Shoes' approach resonates with the large demographic of men who spend their days on their feet in practical settings like job sites or sidelines.
