# The best running shoes for kids by Nike
##### Buying guide
Footwear plays an important role in the healthy development of kids' growing feet, especially when running is involved. Here are some top options to consider.
Last updated: 29 September 2025

When it comes to running and playing, kids seem to take off at a sprint whatever's on their feet—maybe even leaving a shoe behind. But that doesn't mean children can't see benefits from shoes designed for growing feet. Wearing the right shoes might improve how they move.
A [research review in the journal Foot and Ankle Surgery](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19083640/) emphasises that a child's or teen's foot is distinct from adult feet in terms of functional anatomy and ability to cope with pressure. As children grow up, the connective tissue in their feet gains stability over time, which means they need more cushioning and support in the right areas. Adjustability and comfort are also a big deal because those features in a shoe can empower kids to be more active. Good traction can let them run for longer over multiple surfaces without slipping.
"Kids need extra flexibility and adjustability as they are learning their bodies and what feels best for their feet", says Lex Dixon, Nike product line manager.
Whether you have a future athletics star in the family or want to provide the right amount of durability to handle active youth, here are four great options for kids' running shoes by Nike.
## Best Lace-less for Younger Kids: Flex Runner 4
[](https://www.nike.com/au/w/kids-running-shoes-37v7jzv4dhzy7ok)
With younger kids, the keyword for the ideal shoes is *easy.* As in, easy for them to slip on by themselves or with minimal help, easy to wear while doing any activity, from running to climbing to jumping, and easy for parents to feel good about because they're designed for little feet to be snug and supported.
With a bootie-like design and a front and back loop, the Flex Runner 4 is built for the kiddo on the go. A flexible foam sole is designed with grooves for multi-surface traction without changing a kid's natural stride.

## Best for Beginning Runners: Cosmic Runner

As your child transitions from playing to sport, it's helpful to transition into shoes that are built specifically for running, and that's where the Cosmic Runner comes in. The shoe was designed for kids who love to be active and try new activities, whether joining the athletics team or jogging alongside their parents.
The Cosmic Runner offers supportive cushioning as well as a padded, breathable upper mesh, a foam midsole and a full rubber outsole. All of that adds up to comfort and durability, so your kid can explore the joy of running and feel supported with every step.

## Best for Competitive Running and Older Kids: Vomero 18

When a child or teenager participates in athletics or another sport that requires a decent amount of running, the emphasis should be on performance-specific footwear. And to perform well, you need to feel comfortable. The Vomero 18 offers that and more, with a comfort level that allows kids to log miles freely.
Several of the shoe's key innovations contribute to this experience, most notably ReactX foam to create soft cushioning for future world champions. The shoe is also known for being lightweight, breathable and durable—critical footwear features for high-performing youth runners.

## Best for Trail Running: Pegasus Trail 5
[](https://www.nike.com/au/w/kids-running-shoes-37v7jzv4dhzy7ok)
For the youth looking to transition from the comfort of paved roads to the fun of the trails, the Pegasus Trail 5 is a standout. This durable, responsive shoe offers the Nike Trail All-Terrain Compound on the sole, an all-new rubber developed for better traction in wet conditions, as well as high-quality foam in the heel for softness and stability. Child-friendly webbing in the upper and a heel pull tab make them easy to slip on—and stay on, even on the rockiest of trails.

In general, giving kids more ability to run, sprint, jump and play at any age is an essential part of their physical, emotional and mental development. When children wear shoes designed for their needs, they can be more supported and confident, wherever they go.
