Description

Performance design is at the forefront of our easy to slip on and off, machine washable TechLoom Wave for youth of all sizes. Featuring our developed high-elastic 3D stretch rebound TechLoom upper that dynamically moves with your kid’s feet. The upper is designed to allow increased stretch front to back where the feet articulate, while also providing lateral and medial support. An internal cage provides additional support and customizable lockdown when pulling the laces tight. An integrated lace loop allows you to tuck the laces for a streamline look. The seamless upper design allows you to remove the laces completely to transform the TechLoom Wave into a stylish slip-on with the same great fit.

The Wave uses APL’s proprietary Propelium™ technology, designed to maximize energy generation and provide superior comfort while it maintains midsole structural integrity longer than conventional EVA. The newly developed midsole and traction pattern incorporate a durable rubber outsole with a forefoot crash pad.

"Perfect Travel Shoe - Walked 7 hours a day in Rome - Pure Comfort. We are big walkers and going to Rome I packed bandaids of all sizes thinking it was inevitable that my feet would feel it. But no!!! My feet were quiet and cozy through the Vatican, the Colosseum and gelato runs, love love love and they are so light too so packing them is a breeze."

Reviews

You won’t regret them!

"Bought these for my daughter and she LOVES them. They are very comfortable and lightweight but the sole is durable yet flexible. They do run a little small. We sized up and they were just right. Still, I highly recommend."

— Laura M. (5/5)

Comfortable!

"Very comfortable, my daughter says these are her favorite shoes. Needed a color that wasn’t pink or purple so she could wear them with other colors. These were perfect. !"

— Bertha A. (5/5)

So comfortable

"I’ve owned many pairs of APL over the years, and my daughter even wore the tiny ones when she was little. Now that she’s older, she chose her own pair—and she absolutely loves them. She’s 10 years old and really likes how easy they are to slip on and off. They’re incredibly comfortable, and she even wears them to tennis practice. She says it feels like she’s walking on a cloud. Living in LA, shoes get dirty fast, but these are super easy to clean—you can just throw them in the washing machine and they come out looking great. Comfortable, practical, and kid-approved."

— Eunjin K. (5/5)

Only shoes my daughter will wear

"My daughter is very particular about shoes and has sensory issues. These are the only shoes she likes! They wash well too."

— Angela M. (5/5)

Great school shoes for kids

"We love these for school - we have a uniform / dress code that requires solid color shoes, and these fit the bill. They are comfortable, durable, and washable. We have them in multiple colors and are waiting to navy to come back in stock!"

— Lauren P. (5/5)

Best Find this Summer

"My 8-year-old practically lives in his APL Youth Techloom Wave sneakers—he won’t even take them off at home. He says they’re super light with plenty of bounce, and they’ve already survived basketball, badminton, ping-pong, and running all over. The comfort is top-notch, but the real genius is the design: they *look* like lace-ups, but are actually slip-ons. Basically, he gets the style of a “big kid shoe” with the convenience every parent secretly prays for."

— Ming C. (5/5)
