What trainers are popular with kids?
There are a variety of different styles and shapes of trainers that are popular with kids, but the most common and popular style tends to be those which have chunky soles and easy fastenings, such as velcro straps.
Besides this, children typically love trainers that are bright, colourful and have unique features such as prints, patterns and embellishments. Trainers like this come in a number of styles, from hi-tops to those with thick soles.
Are trainers good for kids' feet?
Trainers can be great for kids' feet as they provide protection without being overly restrictive. As long as they are fitted correctly, trainers provide a lot of support for your kids feet, while still allowing for good movement and flexibility.
As long as the trainers are lightweight, your kids should be able to run and play freely without the risk of developing any sores.
What are the most comfortable styles of trainers for kids?
The most comfortable styles of trainers for kids are those which provide support and comfort, whilst still being easy to run around and play in.
Canvas trainers are a great style of trainer, perfect for spring and summer. They usually come with a rubber sole which is ideal for providing flexibility in every step.
One of the broadest styles of trainers are the running and walking trainers. This style of trainer provides great comfort, support and style that both you and your children will look for in a pair of trainers.
Sporty trainers usually come with a lifted, chunky sole which can help your kids with stability and prevents any slips or trips.
What are the most durable types of trainers for kids?
Kids trainers that are made out of materials such as rubber, leather and synthetic materials tend to be the most durable.
These materials are very easily cleaned, which is perfect if your kids love to run and play outside a lot. When dirt and debris doesn’t get cleaned off shoes, it can cause them to deteriorate quite quickly. With these materials, it is super simple to remove the dirt and therefore, prolong their lifespan.
