How should children's shoes be?
After 5 years of research with 11 child health experts, we've designed shoes with just the right amount of flexion, torsion and cushioning to support your child's psychomotor development.
And for children who feel good about themselves, we were also keen to boost their self-esteem. So, Playful City are:
- pleasant to look at,
- fun because they're full of colour,
- have a trendy design.
Why are these shoes ideal for both city life and sports?
Playful City shoes are as comfy around town as they are in the sports hall (hooray for non-marking soles!). They're so fun and trendy, you can just imagine them on your feet, matching your outfit for the day. And what's more, they're comfortable and lightweight, so your child will NEVER tire of wearing them.
They're tough too, with their woven nylon mesh, reinforcements and rubber pads under the sole. Basically, they're super versatile!
What makes these trainers easy to put on and take off?
An energetic child can take on any terrain, indoors or out. The Playful City trainers are so practical, they've never been so easy to put on or take off by yourself. To put them on, simply grab the two pieces of fabric on the tongue and back of the shoe and pull them apart. Putting them on. Fasten with the simple, wide rip-tab fastener for easy grip. To take them off? Press down on the rising sole at the back with your other foot and that's it.
Why is breathability important in a shoe?
Did you know that children's feet sweat 3 times more than adults? To avoid moisture and unpleasant odours, children's trainers need to be well ventilated. The breathable mesh of the Playful City trainers allows the feet to breathe all day long. Regularly removing the insoles from the shoes also helps to ventilate the trainer.
What sizes are available?
Playful City trainers are available in sizes 9.5C to 5.5. To choose the right size, we recommend you measure your child's feet with a pedometer. Or even better, have your child try the trainers on while standing, looking straight ahead. They'll quickly see if their toes are at the tip of the shoe.
How to look after these trainers
We recommend taking out the removable insoles regularly to let them air out and dry after a good day's sport.
