Hi-Tec Sports Introduces New Spring ’15 Kids Footwear

Hi-Tec Sports introduces new Spring ’15 kids shoes, ranging from fully featured hiking boots to fun in the sun sandals. Hi-Tec kids’ shoes are specifically designed with lightweight technologies and a unique insole system for growing feet. Perfectly suited for the playground or the trail, each style is versatile, functional, and lightweight, at an affordable price.

Unique to Hi-Tec Sports, the Big-Fit System was developed to allow your kid’s feet to grow with their shoes! Each style has two insoles, one for comfort and cushioning, and one volume adjuster insole. As the child’s feet grow, the second insole can be removed to increase the shoe by approximately half a size, making shoes last longer and kids happier.
