Little kids need grip and comfort as much as big kids, and the Salomon X-Ultra K Little Boys' Shoe delivers plenty of both. The mesh and synthetic upper, textile lining, and EVA foam cushioning help his feet stay happy on the trail and the playground, and the Contagrip HT rubber sole provides plenty of traction on rocks, roots, dirt, and grass. Best of all, the Quicklace system lets him do his own laces, and the Agion antimicrobial treatment keeps his kicks smelling fresh, which is good for the whole family.
