Little kids' shoes have a big job to do – they have to be tough, cool and built to support their growing feet. No matter what stage your little one is in, our proprietary technologies are designed to prepare them for every phase of childhood. When searching for the best kids' shoes, here are a few technologies to look for:

Shoes equipped with Soft Motion technology are made to support natural movement for growing babies and toddlers. Soft and lightweight, Soft Motion shoes have slip resistant soles and flexible rubber outsoles for superior protection. Patented multi-directional grooves allow for increased mobility while a memory foam foot bed keeps your little one comfortable all day.

For toddlers who are ready to take their next steps, our SRTech selection of kids' shoes is suitable for rookie and expert walkers alike. Built-in sensory pods are designed to improve flexibility and balance as they navigate new terrain, and rounded heels and edges mimic the shape of the foot to minimize stumbles and falls.
