This week / Running
Build for the run they do.
Start with the actual routine: where they run, what they already wear and what is missing. Keep the first kit focused on the next outing, then add equipment when it has a clear job.
A useful question
“Have they tried the socks with the shoes they use?”
Consider sock thickness and the actual shoe fit together. Compare the selected size and return terms before buying replacements or gifts.
Take the usual socks to the fitting
Bring the socks your child wears on a normal run. Try both shoes and ask where they feel pressure or slipping. If the fit feels different in a thicker sock, note which pair they actually plan to run in.
