Athletic footwear for your kids.

When children participate in a sport, they should wear shoes designed specifically for the demands of that particular sport. The primary criteria is a good fit, typically a thumb’s width from the tip of the child’s toe to the end of the shoe. The heel of the shoe should not slip off the foot as the child walks or runs. The only way to determine if the shoe is a good fit is to observe if they experience any discomfort or pain after a few days of wear and tear.
