Light and flexible for young runners — Saucony, Puma

Running Shoes for Kids

Kids' running shoes focus on lightness, flexibility and good hold to support growth and early strides. Here you'll find Saucony, Puma and more, for running, phys-ed and active play.

What size for a growing child?

Leave about a finger's width in front of the big toe for growth, without excess so it doesn't hinder the stride. Recheck the size every season — kids' feet grow fast.

Light and flexible

Favour a light shoe, flexible at the forefoot and easy to put on (velcro or elastic laces for the youngest), with good heel hold so the foot doesn't slip.

Which running shoe for a young child?
A light, forefoot-flexible model that's easy to put on (velcro or elastic laces), with good heel hold so the foot doesn't slip.

How often should I replace a child's shoes?
As soon as the foot has grown (check the space at the toe) or the outsole is worn — often every season for younger kids.

Do children need support shoes?
Rarely. Most kids do well in a neutral, light model. If there's pain or a gait issue, see a specialist.
