Comfort and Confidence

It is essential for students to have comfortable shoes that do not cause them any pain or discomfort. When children are distracted by their shoes, it becomes challenging for them to focus on learning. Additionally, having shoes that are damaged and worn out can lead to embarrassment and a lack of confidence among kids; this can have a negative impact on their overall well-being and self-esteem. Therefore, it is important to ensure that students have access to quality shoes that fit properly and are in good condition. By meeting this basic need, we support these students so that they can thrive.

Replacing Shoes

Kids are constantly filled with boundless energy and a thirst for adventure, which often translates into being tough on their shoes. It is not uncommon for their shoes to start deteriorating, breaking down, or even completely falling apart. However, promptly replacing these worn-out shoes plays a crucial role in safeguarding the well-being of children and promoting a safe environment for their playtime activities. By investing in new footwear for kids, we can help prevent potential injuries that may arise from wearing damaged shoes, allowing kids to continue their energetic endeavors without any unnecessary risks. Ensuring that their shoes are in good condition ensures that children can fully enjoy their carefree and active lifestyle.

Considerations

When searching for new shoes for children, the Death Run Society takes into account the child's ability to tie shoe laces. We strive to find shoes that are slip-on, velcro, or have adaptive closures in order to meet the needs of all children. By working closely with the school, we gain an understanding of each child's capability and ensure that their footwear requirements are fulfilled. Our mission is to provide every child, regardless of their ability, with enjoyable and comfortable shoes that fit properly and can be easily put on without any assistance.
