Kicks for Kids

Studies have shown that the lack of adequate proper fitting sneakers that children wear can be a disadvantage to them and a visible sign of poverty that creates a negative impact to their peer acceptance and academic/ physical performance. Children who wear worn-out or ill-fitting off-brand sneakers are often ignored, teased, bullied, and even victimized, in schools and on the playground. Studies show that children who experience these circumstances develop frustration, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and violence. Consequently, studies also show that proper fitting sneakers can have a positive impact on the lives of many children’s peer acceptance and overall physical and academic performance.
