This design draws inspiration from the wondrous fantasy of children embarking on a spring outing: the rippling rivers underfoot, the endless expanse of green grass nearby, and the towering, cloud-kissed peaks in the distance. The sole features a pattern that provides rebound and cushioning, while the mountain-shaped straps on the upper enhance binding stability. Paired with outdoor-inspired color schemes and fluid lines, the design encourages a positive mindset of traveling light for spring adventures, hence the name "Far Trek."
Functional Design:
An exclusive formula for the cushioned foam midsole makes the shoes lighter, softer, and more elastic. Combined with the cross-material ESA cushioning insert, it instantly disperses 90% of the impact, helping protect the healthy development of children's feet, knees, and spinal joints.
The child-specific U-shaped heel, developed based on the characteristics of children's foot bones, wraps around the ankles for greater stability while walking.
Developed by studying millions of foot shape data points of Chinese children, the wide toe box is better suited for the foot shape of Chinese children, allowing toes to stretch freely and ensuring comfortable wear.
The skin-friendly cotton lining, paired with the versatile breeze-inducing insole, conforms to the arch of the foot, offering excellent moisture-wicking and breathability to keep feet healthy and dry.
The winged heel design with reflective accents ensures easy wear and removal, prioritizing safety for children.
