Kids' Velcro Trainers & Shoes

From hectic mornings and fun-filled weekends to training and school PE lessons, our kids' Velcro trainers help active youngsters dress independently. Look out for handy pull tabs and stretchy panels that make their kicks easy to get on and off. Plus, styles with rubber on the heel and toe help cut down on scuffs and scrapes, ensuring their shoes last longer. And because busy days can mean they'll work up a sweat, you'll find lightweight uppers with built-in mesh inserts to keep them feeling cool and fresh all day.

Built with traction underfoot

Whether they're honing their skills in their favourite sport or simply tearing around the playground, grippy footwear is essential to helping them play with confidence. That's why our children's Velcro trainers selection includes designs with durable rubber outsoles that are built to go the distance. Meanwhile, flexible grooves in targeted areas work to support the natural range of movement through each stride. Shopping for indoor PE lessons? Non-marking soles help protect wooden floors, while still giving them all the grip they need. Shoes featuring foam wrapped around the heel provide young athletes with added stability. By expanding the surface area of the shoe, players get improved balance and the power to smash their goals.

Extra protection against impact

Growing joints and muscles need protection during exercise, which is why we make our kids' Velcro shoes with shock-absorbing inner soles. Soft, spongy padding soaks up the impact as they run, jump and land, while our pro-quality lightweight materials ensure they won't be weighed down. Discover styles with our iconic Nike Air units for a supremely springy feel. The clever engineering uses pressurised air in a durable, flexible membrane to provide lightweight cushioning. The result? On impact, the air compresses and returns to its original shape, ready for the next stride.

Options for every term

Our kids' strap trainers come in a choice of upper designs and materials to suit every challenge. Woven mesh uppers provide light, breathable wear—perfect for summer. On the warmest days, sandals with cut-out sections make it easy for air to circulate around their feet, keeping them cool. When the weather turns cold or rainy, durable leather options protect them from the elements. With a selection of uniform-friendly colours to choose from, our range of kids' Velcro trainers is ideal for when the school term starts. On weekends, bright colours and bold graphics give kids extra power in the playing field. Look out for the iconic Nike Swoosh stamped on uppers and tongues, bringing a premium pop to their look.
