I normally only review adult size running shoes, but since my daughter started running middle school cross country and track, I’ve had to try and figure out how to buy kids running shoes. In this video, I’ll go over a few categories of running shoes for kids and discuss which kids each category could work for.
0:00 intro
0:42 Disclosures and notes
1:31 Kids athletic shoes
2:31 Women’s running shoes
4:14 Kids’ versions of adult running shoes
5:31 MyDaughter’s favorites
9:01 main takeaways
Disclosures: I bought most of the shoes featured in this video. The Hoka Clifton Kids was provided by Hoka for the purpose of review. No one is paying me to make this video or to include any of these shoes in a video. No one will get a chance to preview any of my footage or my thoughts before this video goes up on RU-vid.

I’m big fan of the channel, decision not to put your kid in front of the camera is showing level of integrity that you have. Hope this will influence other parents to reconsider posting their kids on social media. Keep up with the good work!

Hey, this is great! I’ve started running a year ago & my 4 years old son also like to run along with me. I’ll start to consider to buy him his first proper running shoes, & this video helped alot. Thanks alot, Mike!

Great video!! Honestly, this is a category of it’s own…one that is rarely covered. My 10 yr. old son enjoys running with me sometimes but wants a shoe that’s not like the typical sneaker. We found a pair of NB Arishi V4 that are working fairly well. They have Fresh Foam midsoles, decent outsoles, and a comfortable upper - everything he wanted!

Thank you for this video! I have 3 boys ages 9, 12 and 15, my oldest one already runs races with me but not hard to get him shoes as he already fits in adult sizes, we actually wear the same size 😂, my little one is more of a challenge because he’s picky with shoe fit and even his socks honestly.. this was helpful!
@jollyroger1009
@jollyroger1009 10 месяцев назад
Yes, I had wondered if those kids shoes offered the same protection as a proper adult shoe. Especially if they want to get serious about running, those growing bodies would need even more protection than adults I would have thought.

Great topic and video… I’ve been fortunate in that my 10yo hasn’t had a problem wearing the same shoes as his mom but he’s starting to gravitate towards the “men’s”colorways… Awesome getting the kids into running and fitness in their younger years. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for making this video Mike 👏👏 my grandson and granddaughter take part in the kids park run in Manchester every weekend and they love it. I bought them both new shoes recently from Decathlon. They have a great range of kids running shoes at very affordable prices which is important as they grow out of them so quickly. Ian 🇬🇧

Great video! Which fit is very important regardless as I only recent in my late 20s found my first real shoe size which is a Men's 13 from an Men's 11E after a childhood of never finding fitting shoes... Also I would recommend going to a local brick and mortar sporting goods store and trying a ton of shoes from all the companies your looking at even if you going to buy direct so you can see their fit.

Millionth reason why I love Ko and the Kofam community. My son is using adult size but when he started Track I was using some of the shoes you had videos reviews done. He loves the Asics and NB but his fave is the Nike Pegasus for practice and Asics spikes to run competitions.

I got a 10 year old that needs some cushioned trainers to do long runs in. I'm going to cap him at 8 miles as I don't think kids need to be running anymore than that. He's already running 21 min 5ks in Kinvara 14s but needs some more cushioning for training
@12345lerual
@12345lerual 10 месяцев назад
I would like to note that, while kids' sizes and women's sizes overlap in terms of length, they do not have the same width. As you see in the conversion chart at the beginning of the video, a kid's 3.5 is roughly a women's 5 (or 5.5, depending on the brands on both sides of the equation), but what it doesn't say is that it is a 5 Wide. That is because kids' sizes are unisex -- i.e. they numerically track onto men's sizes AND they are a D width by default. So some boys might have a problem with women's medium widths and would need wide sizes. Conversely, girls with narrower feet might want to switch over to women's shoes as soon as possible if kids' sizes are too sloppy on them (and price point isn't a concern).

When i was a kid, my only concern is the weight of the shoes. Cushioning and rebound weren't an issue when you have young springy legs. I could run in any shoes as long as they are not too heavy!! 😂 Back then, having a pair of Adidas was already luxury! Hoka did not exist

Theme for her off-season running was “all-day pace”. Nothing longer than 2 miles. And we read the same young adult novels and chatted about it on all our runs. This was my favorite summer of running

@therunophil 10 месяцев назад
great video, thanks for covering this topic, very helpful, not for me though 😉, as my 8 year old already fits mens adult sizes. I took him to a Nike outlet, avoided the basic running shoes (Winflow, Quest etc) his non-runner mom kept bringing up and we got him a discounted older generation Pegasus, which works really well for him.

No matter what shoes your child wears, be sure to wear your Boston Celebration Jacket to all their events. If anyone comments, just play it down. No big deal. Bonus points for mixing it up with jackets from different years. You weren't a one and done, after all!

Your daughter seems to over-pronate a bit? Perhaps that’s why she prefers shoes with firmer midsoles, especially Brooks, which always has a hint of stability even in their neutral shoes.
