My daughter has very narrow feet, so Asics had been working ok for her. The heel counter of this shoe, however, pushed her whole foot forward. So, she had a good 1/2 size of shoe behind her heel, but her toes were forced to the end. She tried the next size up, but they were way too large all over. It would be great if Asics could revamp the heel counter to allow a comfortable fit. We had to return these and go with a different brand altogether.

This sneaker is super cute and fun. My daughter is 7 and wears a Size 1 in Little Kids. She says they are comfortable. The only thing I don't like about them (which doesn't prove to be a big deal at all), is that one side of the tongue is sewed to the shoe so that only one side opens for your foot to slide in. It's kind of awkward at first. But overall, a good buy!

These were just what my 6 year was looking for. Unfortunately, they seem to run a full-size small. We had to return and order the next size up...once the replacements arrived I had a happy little girl.

These are about the only tennis shoes that fits my daughter well. They fit great and always last.

These shoes are adorable, but they seemed a full size too small. I measured my daughter's feet, checked and double checked the measurements before ordering. I should have heeded the advice of other reviewers. I am returning and reordering one size bigger. Other than that, the style is adorable and my daughter loves them. Others have mentioned the strange way the tongue is stitched down on one side, which I agree is very odd and cumbersome. I'm going to see if I can rip the seams to free to tongue on both sides once we receive the new size.

My daughter says they're comfortable, and we liked these enough to buy a second pair when she outgrew her first pair. She wore the first pair for about 10 months with slightly lighter usage than normal because of COVID, but they lasted longer than I expected.

My daughter and I both love these. Not only are they adorable but they mirror the adult shoes which is a bit bit with a 4.5 year old. I'm looking forward to the durability these will offer as well as the proven comfort.

This is our fifth pair of Asics for our growing daughter. We're always happy with their quality, looks, and how well they last. Asics makes great shoes for kids!

My son loves his new shoes. The color he chose was gray with coral and neon yellow, and it is awesome! They always look like they are glowing! They fit him well and should be durable enough until he grows out of them. We always buy ASICS for our sons. They last through the months of rough wear and tear until they're ready for their next size up.

My daughter loves dazzle in her shoes. She has some frozen 2 light up sneakers but she wont walk in them for long. After buying her these Asics shoes, she doesn't complain about walking, or running. Bought my fiancee her first pair of Asics as well and now we enjoy our walks around the neighborhood. My daughter finished her first 1/4 mile walk without asking me to pick her up.

Bought these for my son so he has a 2nd pair on days he needs to put on/remove shoes quickly. He loves them, says they are very comfortable. If they hold up, we'll be buying another pair when he needs new shoes.

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.

Fit and size was expected. Colors are great. The connected tongue was annoying, but easy enough to rip off so it wasn't connected with no damage to the stitching. Also, once we pulled out the foot pad to put in arch supports, the velcro strap closure had enough room to close comfortably. Not a greatly designed shoe, but after all that our daughter loves the colors and the padding.

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.

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.
