The GEL-VENTURE 8 PRE-SCHOOL running shoe is designed for your little one to wear in the great outdoors. This model has been updated with a more accommodating forefoot fit, while reducing the number of overlays around the forefoot without sacrificing durability. Lastly, the outsole is more durable, with a traction pattern that's been re-engineered with strategically placed lugs under the heel. These updates make the new GEL-VENTURE 8 PRE-SCHOOL shoe an excellent companion for your little one's outdoor adventures.
