TSUKIHOSHI MAKO Kids Shoes - Strap-Closure Machine-Washable Kids Sneakers with Wide Toe Box and Slip-Resistant, Non-Marking Outsoles, Ages 4-12

In 1873, two shoemakers opened a shop to make "Tabi shoes," a traditional Japanese minimalist moccasin or sock-shoe that allows feet to flex and maintain tactile contact with the ground. They named their company Tsukihoshi. Over 140 years later, Tsukihoshi still specializes in made-for-play children's shoes that allow freedom to move and grow and breathe. Tsukihoshi makes all its shoes with extra toe-box width so that toes can splay, stretch, and wiggle, boosting children's sense of balance and contributing to healthy arch development and bone alignment as they grow. Trust the name brand that stands for healthy kids with healthy feet. The Tsukihoshi MAKO Youth Athletic Shoe is a little kids' and big kids' running shoe designed for sports and hard athletic play. This sleek sneaker is available in lots of cool, sporty color schemes, including black and yellow, blue and lime, gray and green, navy and orange, and silver and tie-dye. Great for young children and older children no matter their athletic interests, from baseball to soccer to fencing. It provides both outdoor traction for running and indoor traction that won't scuff your home's hardwood floors or your gym's basketball court. The MAKO kids' shoe is easy to put on or take off thanks to its convenient rear finger loop and a hook-and-loop strap closure that provides a nice, snug fit. Combining fashion and function, its vivid colors are designed to survive cold-water machine washing so that your boy or girl can play in the dirt. A durable abrasion-resistant upper holds up to hard use. An all-natural green tea insole keeps everything fresh without harsh chemicals. Remove insole before washing and allow to air dry.
