    Design details

    What is the main plus point of these children’s shoes?

    The main advantage is that it gives you a natural stride, as close as possible to the sensation of running barefoot.
    Thanks to the combination of three key features:

    - Drop 0: eliminates the height difference between the heel and the forefoot, which naturally encourages landing on the midfoot rather than the heel.

    - Lightness: you will forget you are wearing them, for a smoother and more dynamic run.

    - Flexibility: the sole moves with your foot.

    Why choose a breathable shoe for your child?

    Our research laboratory has shown that children's feet sweat a lot more than those of adults, during sports.
    That's why all the running shoes are designed with a breathable fabric on the upper (mesh) in order to eliminate perspiration more effectively and prevent unpleasant odours. This material, which is lighter than faux leather, is more comfortable and lighter for running!

    Why is a 0 mm drop recommended for children?

    A 0 mm drop actively engages the stabilising muscles and tendons in the lower leg. This technical design prevents poor posture caused by raised heels. It strengthens the developing foot structure.

    How was this shoe designed?

    To meet the needs of young athletes and the expectations of their parents, our team has created an ultra-practical and safe design. Thanks to its non-slip rubber feet and numerous reinforcements, it offers protection and stability. Lastly, the inner strap and laces provide excellent support for the foot, whilst the Velcro fastenings allow your child to put them on by themselves.

    Why choose Velcro trainers for PE at school?

    The Velcro fastenings allow the child to put their shoes on all by themselves. They eliminate the risk of tripping caused by untied laces whilst exercising. The design combines this practicality with a non-slip sole.

  • Testing

    Test product

    Our test engineer, tested these shoes on a group of 10 children during a session in which they ran, threw and jumped for 2 hours on a range of surfaces including grass, asphalt and gym floor. They particularly appreciated the comfort and rubber anti-slip pad, as well as the ease with which they could put on the shoes themselves, and the light weight for faster running. This test complements those carried out in the lab and allows us to validate our products.
