Hi guys
Just wondered if anyone knows about kids running shoes? My 8 year old son is doing the sport relief mile this weekend with me and has decided he really quite likes running :d although have drawn the line at his request to buy him his own Garmin
He comes out with me 1-2 times per week and we do up to 2 miles running, with walk breaks when he needs them. At the moment he is running in a pair of cheapo trainers and I just wondered if the same things applied to kids feet as adults? ie should he get some *proper* running shoes and can you even buy such things? Or are kids a bit more robust and less injury prone, so it's not as important.
Any advice/experience anyone has on this would be welcome!
