Age-Range Development
Kids & junior soles
Plan kids’ and junior footwear around the specified age range, last and use case. Coordinate component dimensions, flex evaluation, surface contact and market requirements within a clear development brief.
Start with
the right questions.
Kids and junior describe the wearer, not a single sole category. Identify whether the product is intended for school, everyday wear or a particular sport, then define the last and size range. Review the proposed materials, construction and applicable product requirements with the factory and the responsible testing specialists before approval.

A brief to define.
| Project format | Sole unit · Colour development |
|---|---|
| Application | School and everyday junior footwear, Sport-specific kids’ development briefs, Kids’ slide and casual-footwear concepts |
| Specification | Defined with your brief, reference size and agreed evaluation methods. |
| Customisation | Material, geometry, colour, branding and construction reviewed by project. |
| Tooling & quantity | Existing or new tooling, size mix and order conditions confirmed after review. |
| Next step | Share references, priorities and the questions your sample should answer. |
Bring to the conversation
What we’ll define together.
- Intended age group, application and size range
- Reference last and component dimensions
- Flex and assembly evaluation criteria
- Surface-contact and indoor marking requirements
- Applicable market and retailer testing requirements
- Colour, appearance and finishing standards
- Size mix, sample scope and quantity assumptions
Keep the application in view
Trade-offs worth discussing.
- Assess component mass and construction together; selecting a lighter option does not replace the agreed assembly and durability checks.
- Position flex features using the specified last, geometry and evaluation plan rather than applying one generic location across all sizes.
- Review colours, finishes and material changes through the same approval process as the structural components.
Your starting questions.
- Which age group, last and size range are included in the initial brief?
- What school, sport or everyday use conditions should the product address?
- Which destination-market and retailer requirements need to be documented?
- What colour, appearance and care requirements should the samples demonstrate?

Running ConstructionRunning sole systems
Develop a road-running sole around the runner, training purpose and intended construction. Review midsole geometry, outsole coverage and the upper interface as one specification.
Plate & AssemblyCarbon-plate systems
Explore plate integration as part of the complete sole system. Define the plate’s purpose, geometry, material and position alongside the surrounding foam and outsole.
