The KN500 shoe was designed by our team of running enthusiasts so that your child can start running while preserving their natural stride.
What's zero drop?
The drop of a shoe is the difference in sole height between the forefoot and the heel. Scientific studies conducted by our research lab (the SportsLab) have shown that a zero drop allows for a more natural stride, similar to a barefoot running stride. This natural stride allows for better absorption of shock waves when running and strengthens your kid's muscles and tendons in the long term.
What about the natural stride?
In order to make the stride natural and as similar as possible to running barefoot, the FLEX RUN shoe uses the following 4 criteria:
- A zero drop and flexibility, so that the middle of the foot strikes the ground first, rather than the heel
- Low weight for a smoother stride
- An anatomical shape to reduce the stresses of the shoe on the foot
Result: the energy from the ground contact is transmitted to the muscles at the back of the legs, which absorb vibrations better.
These trainers, which are lightweight, comfortable and have a zero drop, are ideal for children who are starting running. They conform to the natural stride of your child, so that they can run better
Heel to toe drop
A zero drop makes the kid's stride more natural and more like running barefoot.
Flexibility
Thanks to the Flex H technology, the shoe perfectly adapts to the foot motion.
Cushioning
EVA midsole tailored to the needs of children
Grip
The rubber contact patch provides good grip on every surface
Non marking sole
The rubber under the sole does not mark gym floors
