Many of the children have been having difficulty running safely in gym recently due to the lack of Velcro left on their gym shoes.  It would appear that the gym shoes shown below have much stronger Velcro enabling the wearer to run faster and more safely.  Some of the shoes particularly those that appear to be aimed at girls have not been offering the same level of support during gym lessons, and many of the girls have to constantly stop to re-fasten their shoes. You may wish to bear this in mind if shopping during the holidays.  🙂 Children are also welcome to bring more supportive trainers to use as an indoor/gym shoe if you prefer – preferably in a dark colour.
