What Makes EQW SPORT Different? A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Our Design Process

A shoe might seem like a simple object. But at EQW SPORT, every product is the result of hundreds of decisions made with your child in mind.

Let us show you what goes into each pair.

✏️ Step 1: Observation Before Design

We don’t start with color swatches.
We start with kids.

Our design team studies:

  • Common pain points in existing footwear
  • Real kids’ foot shapes across ages
  • Parent feedback on durability and usability
  • How children move, fall, run, rest

🧠 Step 2: Research + Development

We collaborate with:

  • Pediatric orthopedic advisors
  • Occupational therapists
  • Children’s fashion analysts
  • Parents and children (yes, really — they test our prototypes!)

🧵 Step 3: Materials With Purpose

We source:

  • Non-toxic EVA and TPR
  • Quick-dry mesh
  • Breathable liners
  • Anti-slip rubber
  • Recyclable packaging

🧪 Step 4: Testing and Tinkering

Each style goes through:

  • Wear tests in hot, wet, and rough environments
  • Strain testing on every strap
  • Internal comfort assessments (for sensory-friendly approval)

EQW SPORT isn’t fast fashion.
It’s slow, smart, intentional design that respects your child’s needs.
