I bought these for my daughter, but she didn't like the bright colors. She wore them 3 times. They are still stiff and new feeling. I hope your little one will enjoy them more! Light and plush for everyday play. Designed for future milers and marathoners alike, the kids’ Clifton 9 delivers all the same cushy comfort and performance—now in a slightly smaller package. Designed to fit the unique shape of kids' feet, we’ve cued up an ultralight 30% sugarcane midsole, 31% recycled yarn upper, plus a high-abrasion rubber outsole to keep up with the most active of kiddos. Why you’ll love it – Same iconic HOKA comfort and performance, sized down for up-and-coming athletes.
