Shanyue Outdoor: Revolutionizing Children's Trail Shoes

Rongcheng Qin and Changhao Que Unveil Innovative Footwear

Introducing a groundbreaking approach to children's outdoor footwear, Shanyue Outdoor emerges as a beacon of innovation and design, catering to the adventurous spirit of the young.

Recognizing the void in the market for specialized children's outdoor shoes, designers Rongcheng Qin and Changhao Que have crafted a trail running shoe that defies the norm. The Shanyue Outdoor shoe is not only a testament to the duo's ingenuity but also a response to the demand for lightweight, waterproof, and multi-scenario footwear for children. With a focus on the unique needs of active youngsters, these shoes are designed to accompany them on every adventure, from hiking trails to playground escapades.

The Shanyue Outdoor shoe stands apart with its B-WTPRO high-tech water-resistant fabric, a material that ensures feet remain dry even in the most challenging conditions. The designers have meticulously integrated a waterproof membrane with a microporous structure, promoting breathability and comfort. This innovation not only protects against the elements but also supports the health and development of growing feet, a crucial aspect often overlooked in children's footwear.

From concept to realization, the technology behind Shanyue Outdoor shoes is a marvel. The B-WTPRO fabrics and membranes enable a wading depth that can withstand waterlogged roads, while the EVA IP foaming technology in the midsoles offers a cushion against impact. The designers' commitment to sustainability is evident in the use of recyclable materials, reducing the carbon footprint without compromising on performance.

Technical specifications reveal a shoe that is as practical as it is advanced. Weighing a mere 0.197kg per shoe and featuring outsoles 20% lighter than regular EVA, the Shanyue Outdoor shoe promises a comfortable experience for its young wearers. The design also incorporates a lace-control knob for easy adjustments, a mid-calf upper vamp for added protection, and a heel TPU stabilizer for stability across varied terrains.

The Shanyue Outdoor project, completed in September 2023 in Zhejiang, is a culmination of extensive research and development. The designers have addressed the challenges of creating a shoe that not only meets but exceeds waterproof standards, ensuring that children can confidently embrace the outdoors no matter the weather. This dedication to excellence has not gone unnoticed, as the design has been honored with the prestigious Silver A' Baby, Kids and Children's Products Design Award in 2024.

In the realm of children's outdoor footwear, Shanyue Outdoor by Rongcheng Qin and Changhao Que represents a significant leap forward. These trailblazing shoes are not just a product but a statement—a commitment to the well-being and adventurous spirit of the younger generation. With accolades to their name and a design that speaks volumes, Shanyue Outdoor is set to redefine the standards of children's outdoor gear.
