Kids time is playtime, be it the tiny tots or a little grown-ups. However, playing around calls for care from you, especially for their tender feet! While purchasing clothes and accessories for kids is relatively easier, shopping for kids sports shoes can come hard on you.

A good pair of sports shoes for kids has a well-thought design to support the feet and provide proper cushioning for forward motion of feet. Support means a lot of things, and arch support is first of them. The arch support majorly depends upon the type of feet you have.
