The main features of a skate shoe for kids

The Soles
Accordingly, modern skate shoes for children have specially cushioned soles, which absorb the impact in jumps and protect against rolled ankles. There are two different types of skate shoe soles: Vulc soles and Cup soles. Learn more about the difference soles in our skate shoe wiki:

In addition to a good sole and the corresponding outer material, there are still some features that make a skate shoe exceptional. The seams of skate shoes are often reinforced so that they do not break and the shoe lasts longer.
Sooner or later, kids will be learning their very first tricks. The basis for all tricks is the Ollie. Ollieing puts a lot of stress on a particular part of the shoe, namely the Ollie area. To withstand the extra burden, it is usually double stitched, rubberised or reinforced with an additional pad.
Once they’ve mastered the ollie, the Kickflip won’t be far behind. To so as many kickflips as possible without wearing holes in the shoe, there are also shoes with rubberised toecaps at the front of the shoe, above the toes, as you might have guessed.
