The GEL-CUMULUS 22 kid's running shoe is designed to help deliver excellent cushioning, while promoting a smooth ride. Constructed with a lightweight mesh upper that generates forefoot support, this shoe also supplies plenty of airflow to keep feet cool and comfortable throughout the day. The GEL technology cushioning in the midsole is met with a layer of EVA foam to supply a combination of comfort and lasting durability. The new last helps create a stronger response during the toe-off stage of the stride, while the outsole's flex grooves generate full-ground contact for a smooth stride.
