POPO Kids' Lightweight Running Shoes feature innovative spherical outsoles inspired by soft and resilient balls. The outsoles help distribute the strain on feet through quick deformation and rebounding, enabling exceptional cushioning and resilience to avoid an ankle sprain, and those spherical bumps ensure strong traction and high flexibility, making the shoes suitable for diverse road conditions such as slopes, rugged roads, etc. This product adopts a sole core pulling process to create a hollow heel structure. In addition, it applies PU FOAM insole, coupled with EVA foam outsole, guaranteeing a 4-layer cushioning effect. Thanks to all these features, this product is lighter and more resilient, providing a more comfortable wearing experience and meeting kids' daily sports needs such as running.
Based on kids' wearing needs, the PU FOAM insole adds antibacterial factors, with the breathable three-dimensional mesh fabric structure on the upper, greatly enhancing overall breathability and reducing bacterial growth, which helps prevent foot diseases.
This product takes elements from the nebula and spaceship to form a distinctive appearance, combined with spherical outsoles, to improve the visual and touch experience and stimulate kids' imagination and desire for exploration, making it both functional and interesting.
The fabric and leather of the upper utilize eco-friendly recycled polyester fiber made from recycled PET bottles, decreasing energy consumption and carbon emissions, which contributes to sustainable development. The sandwich mesh fabric also enjoys excellent breathability since its holes facilitate quick ventilation, keeping the foot dry and cozy and reducing foot odor caused by sweat.
