    Avoid lime for active/sporty kids - the colour has turned an awful brown after less than a months wear on grass and paths etc - not in wet mud I must add! They are comfy, just look old before their time!

    Great quality shoes. Bought for my kid and he loved it.

  • One of my kids favorite shoes

    Nike Pegasus 42 Big Kid's Road Running Shoes

    I wasn’t expecting to be this impressed, but the Pegasus 42s have become my kid’s absolute favorite pair. As part of the Nike Performance collection, these shoes have made a noticeable difference on the track. My kid’s stride looks more confident and the responsive cushioning gives that extra bounce when it counts most during races and drills. The lightweight foam sole provides my child with a springy, energized feel that translates really well at track practice. The extra room in the toe box compared to the previous version is great for growing feet, and after weeks of hard use, the soles are still holding up strong. My kid picks this shoe daily. Style combines with performance? Total win.
