Product Customer Reviews

very good quality
my daughter loves these shoes.
What can I say, great quality and value.
Brilliant girls trainers. Great quality and price.
Comfy, easy on and off. Hard-wearing. Excellent vfm.
Fun colours, good sizing and quick delivery, can’t fault these kids running shoes
Fun colours, true to size and arrived really quickly. Great lockdown purchase when shops not open to try on!
This is the 3rd pair I have bought for my son. They’re so lightweight but don’t lack on durability. They come up a little wide which is perfect and doesn’t squash his toes. Machine washable, cheap and cheerful! We’ll probably be buying many more of these!
Quick delivery,defo will buy again
My kids love these shoes. Cheap, comfortable and last well. Always grow out of them before they wear out. Great for school PE and junior parkrun.

We have bought various models in different sizes of this one over the years as both my children love them. They are light weight, durable and easy to clean.
Well made trainers that last pretty well and offer decent comfort for general sporting activities.

What's drop?
The drop of a shoe is the difference in sole height between the forefoot and the heel. The shorter the drop, the more natural the foot movement for running, reducing "biomechanical" action, which can cause injury. The drop of these Run Support Rip-Tab shoes has been reduced to 6 mm to respect little ones' natural stride!
Take a look under the sole?
The sole has flex grooves for easier heel-to-toe transition when doing sport. The hard-wearing rubber half-sole prevents young athletes from slipping on wet surfaces!
Did you know? kids' and adult shoes don't have the same fit.
Kids' athletics shoes are specifically designed for kids' feet. For the same size, a kid's foot is slimmer and less voluminous in the shoe compared with an adult's. Give young growing athletes 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!

Product testing
Driss, our test engineer, tests our products with kids aged 8 to 12 in a real athletics session. We gave particular focus to the water-repellent property of this shoe. The treatment on the material and laces halves the time taken for water to penetrate the shoe when running in wet grass.
Storage instructions
Avoid leaving shoes in a damp bag.
