How to choose running shoes for children?

Accessible to all and very effective, running is a physical and sporting activity that requires a lot of leg work. To enable your child to run in the best possible conditions and make your outings more enjoyable, he or she will need trainers specially designed for running. Do you often run on tarmac? Choose junior running shoes that are light and dynamic, with cushioning to protect your heel from impact. Suitable for road and trail running, models with better underfoot cushioning such as the Asics Gel Quantum are an excellent choice. For long-distance running for kids, opt for a pair with an optimal forefoot fit like the Asics Gel Excite.

Shoes for young hikers

Just because hiking is a "softer" activity compared to trail running doesn't mean you should neglect your choice of footwear. If you want to explore nature and trails in comfort, you need junior hiking boots that are perfectly suited to your playground. If you prefer to go out on the plains, choose a pair with an outsole that provides good grip on natural paths. Mid-top shoes such as the Columbia Flow Borough Mid provide excellent ankle support for safe hiking.

Specific children's shoes for nature running

Trail running is a demanding and very complete sport that is mainly practiced in natural environments. To gain comfort and efficiency during your runs in the mountains and on uneven terrain, we advise you to choose trainers that guarantee a better grip. Opt for children's trail shoes with a rubber sole and pronounced studs to benefit from good stability on more technical terrain. Discover on our online shop the adidas Terrex shoes specially designed for mountain activities: each one benefits from the Boost technology which will allow you to take advantage of a dynamic cushioning. Columbia also offers trail shoes with a lightweight Techlite outsole and Omni-Grip traction system.

In order to progress quickly and improve your running level, it is important to train regularly. You will therefore need to buy junior training shoes that fit your feet perfectly and won't be felt. At direct-running, our team has selected shoes designed for performance and comfort by well-known brands such as adidas, Puma and Joma. Suitable for intensive use, these models have a light and flexible sole to allow you to move freely and remain comfortable during your training sessions.
