The Kid's Lynx HE Skate Shoe takes what the little guys can dish out. HE stands for Hybrid Edition and means that this Lynx combines classic DC styling with up-to-date materials to make a solid skate shoe. The Lynx packs in abrasion resistant materials and lots of padding so kids can keep skating. A mesh lined tongue allows air to flow through and works with the perforated uppers to let their feet stay dry. Reinforced leathers make the Lynx a shoe rugged enough for even the toughest little skaters. Bottom Line: The Lynx is tough enough for today's young rippers.
