Design details

What makes these trainers stand out?

The main advantage is that they offer a natural stride similar to running barefoot. This effectiveness is based on three key criteria: a 'Drop 0' design that encourages landing on the midfoot rather than the heel for better posture, a lightweight feel that makes running more fluid, and a highly flexible sole that naturally follows the foot’s movement with every step.

Why choose breathable trainers for your child?

Our research shows that children sweat much more from their feet than adults do during exercise. That’s why our running shoes feature a mesh upper: it effectively wicks away sweat and prevents unpleasant odours. Lighter than synthetic leather, this material offers maximum comfort and lightweight characteristics with every stride!

What are the benefits of a 0 mm drop for a child?

By eliminating the raised heel, the 0 mm drop prevents poor posture and supports the foot’s natural development. This technical setup actively engages the stabilising muscles and the tendons in the lower leg, which naturally strengthens the arch of the foot with every stride.

How does this shoe fit your child?

Designed with the needs of parents and young athletes in mind, they offer maximum safety. The rubber studs covering the entire sole ensure excellent grip, whilst the reinforced toe and heel sections provide effective protection for the foot. Lastly, the combination of laces and straps ensures a snug, secure fit for all sporting activities.

Testing

Test product

Driss, our test engineer, tested these shoes on a group of 10 kids 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, the rubber anti-slip pad, the support and easy lacing system and the light weight for faster running. This test complements those carried out in the lab and allows us to validate our products.
