GARB FOUNDER _ Danniel.Garb

In the streets and alleys of America, there's a passionate young man named Danniel Garb. Danniel's story is deeply intertwined with his grandfather, Danniel Garb Sr., a strong and remarkable man. However, Danniel's life wasn't always filled with sunshine. He lost his parents at a very young age, leaving his grandfather as his sole family and support.

Danniel Garb Sr. was an ordinary worker who toiled tirelessly in a factory his whole life, supporting his family. He was the kind of person who silently endured hardship and never complained, but the years of labor took a toll on his feet. Despite constant pain, he never allowed himself the luxury of buying new shoes. Instead, he saved every penny, ensuring that he could give Danniel a special gift every Christmas.

Danniel vividly remembers the anticipation of Christmas each year during his childhood, knowing it was the one time his grandfather would buy him a new pair of shoes. Opening that gift box and finding a brand new pair of sneakers brought him immense joy and gratitude. Those shoes weren't just fashionable; they were a symbol of his grandfather's love and dedication.

This cherished childhood memory profoundly impacted Danniel. He made a vow, not just for his grandfather but also for all those like him who silently persevered, to create the healthiest, most durable, and highest-quality shoes possible. He was determined to ensure that no one would have to endure foot pain like his grandfather did and instead walk confidently in sturdy, comfortable footwear.

And so, Danniel established the GARB brand, infusing his dreams and memories into every shoe's design and production. Each pair of GARB shoes pays tribute to his grandfather and respects those who quietly endure. It's more than just a product; it's a reflection of family bonds and resilience.

Danniel Garb's story is a true embodiment of the American Dream, his dedication to the well-being of his family, community, and society, and his creation of high-quality, healthy, and resilient products. This is the essence of the GARB brand and a reflection of American values.

Welcome to the GARB brand family, where you can share in this heartwarming and dedicated American story. Wherever you go, you'll feel the love and resilience of Danniel Garb Sr. and the commitment of the GARB brand.

 

What is neoprene?

Neoprene is a flexible, high-performance, and water-resistant synthetic materialknown for its durability and comfort. In StrideOn products, it acts like a lightweight, scuba-like fabric that’s built to move with you — whether you're commuting, traveling, or exploring the city.

Why does StrideOn use neoprene in its products?

We chose neoprene for its unique combination of strength, flexibility, and style. It’s water-resistant, easy to clean, and offers excellent shock absorption and cushioning, which helps protect your belongings and keeps you comfortable during long days on the go. Plus, its sleek, smooth texture gives StrideOn designs a sporty yet chic aesthetic.

Is neoprene waterproof?

Neoprene is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light moisture and spills, making it ideal for everyday use in unpredictable weather or urban environments. While it’s not fully submersible like a wetsuit, it performs exceptionally well against rain splashes, light rain, and accidental spills.

Is neoprene easy to clean?

Yes — one of the best things about neoprene is how low-maintenanceit is. Most dirt, dust, or light stains can be wiped away easily with a damp cloth and mild soap. Its smooth surface resists absorbing liquids, which helps it stay looking clean and fresh with minimal effort.

Does neoprene provide padding or protection for my belongings?

Absolutely. Neoprene has natural shock-absorbing and cushioning properties, which help protect your items inside StrideOn bags or cases. Whether it’s your laptop, tablet, or daily essentials, neoprene-lined compartments offer a soft yet secure fit that helps prevent bumps and scratches.

How does neoprene feel to the touch / against my skin?

Neoprene has a smooth, soft, and slightly luxe feelto it. It’s not rough or scratchy — instead, it offers a comfortable, flexible feel against your skin (in items like straps or inner linings) and gives StrideOn products a modern, athletic-meets-fashionable edge.

Do StrideOn shoes with neoprene or other materials provide arch support?

Yes, many StrideOn shoes, including those that may incorporate neoprene or other high-performance materials, are designed with ergonomic footbeds that offer excellent arch support. We understand the importance of proper foot alignment, especially for those who spend long hours on their feet or have specific comfort needs.

Our arch support featureshelp distribute weight evenly, reduce foot fatigue, and promote natural posture. Whether you're managing plantar fasciitis, standing all day, or simply looking for all-day comfort, our shoes are engineered to provide the stability and cushioning your arches need. For specific support levels, please refer to the product description or consult our customer service team to find the best match for your foot type.
