Junior lifestyle fashion
The lifestyle Junior collection includes shoes, clothing and accessories for children and babies: Victoria trainers, Asics, Geox and Gola, Crocs clogs, rain boots and jackets Reima, fleece tops and jackets Regatta.
For children, comfort, durability and ease of putting on are just as important as style.
First steps and fast-changing shoe sizes
A young child's foot grows quickly, to the point of changing size several times a year in the youngest ones. Measuring the foot regularly, standing up, at the end of the day, prevents keeping a shoe that has become too short for too long. For first steps, foot specialists recommend soft, lightweight shoes that are flexible at the front, allowing the foot to move, with a heel support that holds the heel in place.
Velcro fastenings, like those on Victoria sandals and trainers, allow children to put on their shoes by themselves. Leaving about a centimetre of room in front of the toes provides space for growth without the foot slipping. The Asics trainers in PS and GS versions mirror adult models in school sizes.
Wellies and rainwear
The rain boots Reima, made of natural rubber, and the rainwear sets Mikk-Line, including jacket and overalls, keep kids covered while they play in puddles. A waterproof jacket is rated by its water column, measured in millimetres, and its sealed seams, which prevent water from leaking through needle holes: the Reima Lampi, with its 10,000 millimetres, withstands heavy rain.
The three-in-one Regatta Trekktain combines a waterproof jacket with a removable inner jacket, which can be worn together in winter or separately in spring. The Peak Mountain fleeces can be used as a mid-layer or as a jacket in dry weather.
Clogs, sandals and slippers
The clogs Crocs, lightweight and washable, go from the yard to the pool, and the decorated editions, Pokémon or Disney, are popular with kids. The child-sized Birkenstock sandals feature the brand's anatomical sole, lined with sheepskin for winter. At home, slippers with non-slip soles prevent slips on tiled floors.

Frequently asked questions
What shoes should I choose for a baby's first steps?
Soft, lightweight shoes that are flexible at the front, allowing the foot to move, with a heel support that holds the heel in place: this is the recommendation from foot specialists. Measure the foot standing up, at the end of the day, as shoe sizes change several times a year.
How can I tell if a child's rain jacket is truly waterproof?
Check its water column, in millimetres, and its sealed seams, which prevent water from leaking through needle holes. The Reima Lampi, with 10,000 millimetres, will stand up to heavy rain. For puddles, the Mikk-Line sets add overalls.
What is the benefit of a three-in-one jacket for a child?
The Regatta Trekktain combines a waterproof jacket with a removable inner jacket, worn together in winter or separately in spring. One purchase covers multiple seasons, a real benefit when a child grows fast.
Are Crocs suitable for children?
Lightweight and washable, Crocs clogs go from the yard to the pool, and their decorated editions are very popular with kids. However, for running and sports, a Velcro trainer, like the ones from Victoria, holds the foot better.
Which Asics trainers should I get for a schoolchild?
Asics offers its adult models in PS versions for young children, and GS for older schoolchildren. They mirror adult silhouettes in children's sizes, allowing about a centimetre of room in front of the toes.
