Customer Reviews adidas Kids FortaRun X (Little Kid/Big Kid)

I am an adult with small feet who sometimes buys big kids’ shoes since they’re cheaper and sometimes cuter. And usually the children’s sizes correlate with the adult sizes, but not so with these. I originally ordered my usual adult size 5.5 in a big kids’ 5.5 and they were inexplicably ginormous. I ended up settling on the big kids’ size 3. Because of this inconsistency, I wish Zappos would add an internal length in inches with each size of every shoe. This is probably a huge undertaking, but in the end, would save Zappos a lot in terms of eliminating a large chunk of returns. These shoes are cute. I thought the navy shoe had more black than it actually does, since most of my workout gear is black in base, in base. My heels also move up and down more than I’d like. It hasn’t caused discomfort as yet, but it seems like the shoe’s design should account more for that by cutting in slightly at the top to hug the ankle. My right pinky toe also rubs the shoe a tiny bit on the side. This might be set right simply by wearing a thin pair of socks. I have flat feet, and so far, the footbed is comfortable. Ooh! Zappos: please also consider adding a category of shoes recommended for flat feet. I really like the laces— how they’re sort of flat.

I am a 7.5 in women's and this shoe is basically men's sizes. I ordered the 7 and it was comically large. I should have gone with a 5.5 or a 6. Colors seemed less vibrant in real life.

I bought these in a size 6 for my 10 year old who is currently, and comfortably, wearing a 5-1/2 in New Balance running shoes. We both thought these Adidas were super cute, but according to her they felt smaller (lengthwise) than her current New Balances. Too small to wear comfortably and in fact pinched her toes, so back they go.

Cute when new but looked terrible in two weeks time after playing outside. Wouldn’t wipe off so now they are brown.

These are so cute that my daughter & I wanted to love them. However, she found them uncomfortable - from her description I think maybe they have more arch support than she is used to, but it's hard to extract such info from a 9-yr-old. Unfortunately, we had to return them.

Seemed pretty comfortable except for the sizing running very big
