What is the advantage of this trainer?
The main benefit is that it promotes a natural stride similar to running barefoot, leading to better shock absorption.
Thanks to the combination of its three key features:
- Zero drop: promotes a midfoot strike rather than a heel strike.
- Lightness: makes running much smoother.
- Flexibility: allows the shoe to flex naturally when the shoe is in contact with the ground.
What is the value of the drop on this children's shoe?
This model has a drop of 0 mm. The scientific studies conducted by our research laboratory have shown that a zero drop (i.e. a drop of 0) results in a more natural stride, similar to the stride you have when running barefoot. This natural stride allows for better absorption of shock waves when running and strengthens your kid's muscles and tendons in the long term. The drop of a shoe is the difference in sole height between the forefoot and the heel.
How much does this children's shoe weigh?
This trainers weighs 130 g in size 2½. This lightweight construction helps young athletes to have a smooth, fast stride.
Why is the sizing of adults' and children’s shoes different?
Junior shoes are specifically designed for kids' feet. A kid's foot is proportionally slimmer and less voluminous in the shoe than an adult's. Give your young growing athlete space so they don't feel restricted when doing sport. If an adult chooses a shoe designed for kids, their foot movements are restricted, which has a direct impact on the body!

- Thanks to the Velcro strap, kids can get their shoes on/off unaided
- The strap inside the liner gives your child effective foot retention
