    The shoes look awesome, but they run a little small. I had to go up a size so they could fit my son.

    I absolutely love these shoes for my son...they are light, flexible, and he says they are very comfortable. They go well with almost any outfit with the multiple colors.

    We bought these Tiger shoes for our son and he loves them! The fit is excellent with good grip and comfortable fit. The retro style is what brought us to them. Tiger has been around forever. Many wrestlers and cheerleaders know the quality. You will not be disappointed. Also they come with grey laces standard as well as a second set in blue. This is good to have a second set of laces.

    Very cute but cut very very small. I purchased a 12 for my son (who actually needs an 11.5) and these shoes were too small. His toes were to the very top and cramped inside the shoe. I'll be returning these and trying a 13. I could tell that a 12.5 would not suffice either.

    In post-war Japan, what was there to do for a young man with a keen sense of business and an open eye for the misfortune surrounding him? He could offer his services to one of many small companies, or he could reluctantly try his luck on the black market, or he could come up with a product that would have some value for the youth in his country. Kihachiro Onitsuka did it all. Since then, ASICS has introduced a long line of revolutionary and effective technological features in sports shoes. ASICS® GEL® Cushioning System, SpEVA and the recently developed I.G.S.® (Impact Guidance System) are some examples. Consequently, many international top athletes have won races, matches, medals and titles with the ongoing support of ASICS. And according to ASICS founder, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka, there is a lot more to come, as he said in 1999... 'This first half century was only the beginning.'

    I bought these for my 7 year old son who is a size 2. Bought these in a 2.5 because I heard that they run small, and it was perfect. I love the retro feel of these sneakers and my son loves them because he thinks he runs faster in them and they are comfortable.

    I love these shoes! My son is 6.5 years old and looks completely adorable in these. The do run a little small and narrow. I sized up. The shoe laces are nice and long and easy to tie. They also come with an extra set of dark blue laces. These are a must have for the trend setters. He gets compliments all the time.

    These sneakers make me so happy. I love the throw-back style and they look great on my 6-year old son. The color selection was great (we got burgundy/red) and they even came with extra laces in a coordinating color! They run a bit small...he measures a true 1 and these are a size 2 1/2. But that's the same size difference with Adidas and Puma we've found.

    I think this shoe is so cute and it looked good on too. My 8 year old son didn't like it as much as I did so it's going back. It does run small, about 1/2-1 size small. I would also say it is a bit more narrow than other athletic shoes.

    These sneakers definitely run small, so I ordered about one whole size up and they fit perfectly. They are comfortable, and great looking.

    I absolutely loved these shoes, they were just too narrow for my son. I even went up a size and he cried when I put them on. So sad, I had to return them. These would be great if you have a narrow foot child.

    Super cute sneakers. However, they run really small. My son wears a size 11 and I ordered a size 12 and it fit him with no room at all. So now I will try at size 13. I love Zappos. My shoes arrived on time.

    My 3-1/3 year old loves this shoe. Once I put these on him, he proceeded to run laps around the house and then, since he thought they looked a little like football cleats (not sure I see the resemblance), he started doing crossover drills. He says they are light and very comfortable. I think they look adorable on him. They came with an extra pair of laces. In our case, we got the black and orange ones so the extra laces were black. Definitely go a size and a half bigger, as others have recommended. I originally went up about 1/2 size and it was too small and had to return and get another pair. Luckily, that was super easy with Zappos.
