Read MoreFun runs, P.E. class and after-school team sports allow kids to blow off steam, beat class records and more. Before your child hits the pavement, head to Hibbett | City Gear for some high-quality kids’ running shoes. We offer a premium selection of running shoes from brands like New Balance, Nike, adidas, Under Armour, PUMA, Reebok and Saucony. And we carry a variety of youth sizes, ranging from infant and toddler to preschool and grade school.
Childhood involves plenty of movement — whether your kids are running, jumping or dancing to the beat of their own drum.
Before you buy, make sure you know how to choose the right running shoe for your child.
Do they primarily run around the backyard chasing balls, or are they a serious runner training for the cross-country team? Depending on running purpose and style, you'll want a shoe with appropriate foot support.
Running Shoe FitYou want a shoe that’s snug but not too tight. You also want a shoe that's not too loose on the heel so your child doesn't get blisters. The high-quality boys’ and girls’ running shoe brands have spent years on research and development to help ensure optimal fit and performance.
For instance, adidas sent its Ultraboost capsules into space (yes, space!) to study the effect of zero gravity on the energy return of the technology. Nike’s lab examines the feet of thousands of serious runners to improve on running sneakers. And New Balance’s obsession with perfection centers on the body’s mechanics and how the foot moves to prevent injury.
Our in-store shoe professionals at Hibbett | City Gear understand how to ensure a properly fitted running shoe so any kid can run faster and longer in total comfort. Plus, the running sneakers we carry can withstand the toughest playground, longest track or wettest grass. Visit us in-store or online to browse our selection and find the right kids’ running shoe for your little lightning bolt.
The best running shoes are those that support your child’s foot and their activity. If your child requires a running shoe for after-school sports, find something with grippy traction and shock-absorbing cushioning. If they need an all-purpose school shoe, prioritize comfort and support.
Kids have their own opinions on what they want a shoe to look and feel like. Make sure the shoe fits snugly but has at least a thumbnail’s width of space at the toe — or more if you need them to grow into the shoes. Make sure the shoe doesn’t slip around at the heel when they walk, and ensure their feet feel supported without feeling too tight.
