This is probably our 11th pair of ASICS, since my son grows a shoe size every 6 months and he loves his ASICS ! I love that they have half sizes ! His 2.5’s are perfect for my growing 4 year old !!!

My son is in a constant state of growth I swear ! He’s in size 2 right now but know the 3’s are approaching. They are a touch big but I’m sure they will fit here in a couple weeks ?

Both of my boys have loved these shoes, they are the most comfortable. And the velcro makes getting out the door much easier. This red is a really bright red, which my son loves!

We love ASICS! Our 5 year old loves the bright red & I like that they velcro shut. They fit true to size. Shipping was super fast. 100% recommended! Thanks Zappos!

A solid comfortable shoe. Lost a star because my boys have wider/thicker feet when they are little, and this shoe isn't adjustable where the elastic laces are. I wish they sold a double velcro so I could adjust the width better.

These worked great for my son for years. He has narrow feet. I purchased these a few years in a row in the next sizes up for him. However, for my daughter who has slightly wider feet (but not considered wide-footed), she felt like they were squeezing her feet and it left a mark on her feet after wearing for a few hours. Nevertheless, I would recommend these for kids with a narrower foot.

My son likes the fit of these shoes, but we returned them for another model because he prefers laces that tie. These only have ties in the larger sizes.

I bought this shoes a month ago to my sun who wears size 3 skeacthes and this one was just right there. No extra room. Quality is great and very comfortable.

We were trying to find a substitute for the Noosa. If this had hook velcro and a tongue that was not secured on one side, it would be perfect. Not a bad shoe though. Holds up better than the GT1000.

I originally purchased a 2 because my child wears a 1.5 and we wanted a little room to grow. We ended up sending them back and getting a 3 because this shoe runs small. My child said it's extremely comfortable and was happy walking over a mile and playing at the park the first time she wore them. She wears them daily and loves them.

Very strange fit... the velcro strap just barely reached the other side, and my son usually has no trouble with shoes fitting him. We are returning them and thankfully we found an awesome pair of Saucony shoes in a Sierra store today that fit him great and are a very similar style

After about a week of regular use, the “laces” were pretty much stretched out and the ends of thread started to come loose. I noticed my son would come home complaining the dirt and wood chips from the school playground were in his shoes, every day, and his socks were always dirty. This is very unusual for him. After three weeks, they just seemed to be looser (not necessarily wide but just loose) and the Velcro was never that binding. Plus the inside was starting to stink, and my kid has never had stinky shoes. I just bought him a new pair of different sneakers because, although he didn’t complain about how these fit, I was tired of scrubbing his socks everyday.

Very disappointed in this shoe. This size 12 was much smaller than a Nike shoe of the same size. It also has the tongue sewn along one side (I guess so it doesn't slip) but it creates a hard bump and then the other side of it barely was wide enough to go under the other side. The Velcro was also very small for the hook and loop closure. Shoe fit, but the closure was very tight and I could see the Velcro failing as soon as it had sock fabric and dirt stuck to it because the area was so small. Going back.

Tighter in the toe than previous Asics of the same size (little kid 12), and nearly "un velcro-able" at the ankle - seemed wildly small.

I bought three shoe for my 2, 3 and 5 year old . The 2 and 3 have no problem of walk and running with this specific shoe. I just want to say , the shoe was very heavy for my 5 year old. The sole was very diffrent and big from the other two shoe. She keep falling over. Just wondering why the size 10, 11 and 12 shoe have heavier sole. It is absolutely very bad design. I will like to have or see size 10 ,11 and 12 have the same sole as the toddler shoe.

Are apples allowed to give me the ability to read this shoe zero Stars I would. The shoe has fallen apart after only five wears. The laces are pulled up the whole tongue on both shoes is ripped on both sides you don't believe me check out these photos stay away from these shoes. Extremely poorly made

We always order ASICS for our 2 sons, and usually have great luck with the fit, style, and durability. These specific shoes were so ill fitting and oddly designed compared to any other ASICS we've ordered over the past 5 years. The first thing we noticed that made it so difficult to strap the Velcro, let alone get the shoe on, was that the tongue was sewn into the shoe on one side. SEWN in. My 8 year old who is very capable and self sufficient had trouble pulling the tongue to try and center it to get the Velcro strap across. Also, it seems like the Velcro strap on this shoe is shorter than any other ASICS kids shoes we've bought before. It's almost like this shoe was made for slim feet, although that wasn't stated in the description. My son has normal, average feet and we've never had issues with ASICS fitting before. We didn't have time to exchange these shoes with school starting, so I used a seam ripper to detach the sewn tongue from the shoe so my son could actually maneuver these himself. One star awarded for the cool colors. This was the first time I've been disappointed with the design, quality, and fit of ASICS.
