Children's shoes Hummel Multiplay

At morning break, in the gym on Wednesdays and at Saturday matches: the Hummel Multiplay shoes follow a child everywhere, with a fastening they can manage on their own and a wide sole that keeps them standing tall.

The Multiplay Flex comes in Velcro and elastic lace or lace options, in baby, child and first adult sizes.

Multiplay Flex VC: elastic lace and velcro

The VC version combines an elastic lace that keeps the shoe fitted, and a adjustable velcro strap that closes it with a simple motion. The child can put it on by themselves in the changing room, without waiting for an adult to tie their knots. The open construction makes it easy to put on, a real plus for the younger ones in handball school.

Multiplay Flex LC and 2.0: switching to laces

The LC version replaces the velcro with lacing, for a more precise fit when the child knows how to tie their laces. The Multiplay Flex 2.0 carries the same spirit with a breathable upper and an elastic lace. Hummel presents it as suitable for both the gym and outdoors, for sports and everyday use.

Multiplay: a wide and grippy sole

The outer sole of the Multiplay Flex is wide and stable, designed with hexagonal studs that grip in all directions. An EVA midsole cushions running and jumping footsteps. Hummel does not specify if the rubber is non-marking: if your club's gym requires it, check the note on the colourway's details, or keep a pair reserved for the gym.

Multiplay baby, child, teen: one size for each age

The range starts from baby sizes and goes up to the first adult sizes. Leave about a centimetre in front of the big toe for growth, but don't go beyond that: a foot that floats tires easily and tripping is more likely.

After the Multiplay, switch to a proper indoor shoe

As soon as the child is involved in training and matches, a more technical handball shoe becomes useful. The Topflight is available in a junior version with velcro or laces, featuring a more enclosing upper. The Speed Court is aimed at young people who already wear adult sizes. All the brand's products can be found on the Hummel shoes page.

Low prices for growing feet

A child changes shoe size almost every season. The junior clearance features end-of-line items, and the junior sales offer seasonal discounts on all young people's gear.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Multiplay work for baby-hand?

Yes, that's one of its uses. It comes in baby sizes, it is lightweight and closes with a simple motion, allowing toddlers to put it on by themselves before the session.

Does the Multiplay work for school and handball?

Yes, that's its principle: a versatile shoe, comfortable at playtime as well as in the gym. To keep the sole clean indoors, it’s ideal to have a pair reserved for sessions.

Does the velcro last over time?

It wears out with washing and dust. Clean the straps with a small brush to remove trapped fibres: they will regain some of their grip.

How to prevent them from losing their shoe while running?

Choose the right size, without too much room, and check that the elastic lace is properly adjusted before securing the velcro. A heel that comes out of the shoe when stopping is a sign of a pair that is too big.
