Your kids? They skip, run, climb trees, and tumble over on a regular basis. Bottom line is, their feet take a beating. And without proper shoes, those just-learned-to-walk toes are bound to undergo injury. Enter: PLAE shoes for kids. Designed with the same techniques as Olympic sports gear, these sneakers promote natural development. Plus, they’re favored by a number of A-listers (ahem, the Affleck family).

Customizable
Do their styles shift on a whim? These can, too. Interchangeable tabs allow kids to swap out their Velcro closures with a different color, material, or print.

Flexible
Kids’ feet? They’re mostly cartilage and won’t form fully into bone until adulthood. Take preventative measures with these flexible soles, which allow natural movement and give.

Eco-Friendly
From the insole to heel, these kicks are made “green” with recycled materials like milk jugs, cork, and certified earth-friendly leather and suede.

Our PLAE Kids’ Shoes: First Time on Little Rue Boutique opens Tuesday, March 25, at 11AM ET.
