Unfortunately, the "Little Kid" version of this model only comes with the velcro strip instead of laces. The velcro version has much less support because you cannot tighten the laces adequately. In addition, the tongue is sewn into the side, which is extremely annoying. Went up half a size to Big Kid (which is the laces version), and it's much better.

I've never had shoes run so small for my petite girl. Definitely at least a half size smaller. She says that they're tight on the sides, too, but they only come in a M width. Not sure if I'll re-order in a bigger size because of this.

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.

Not sure what these strings are but they are sewn up under the insole so in both shoes we can’t get them out. Can’t return them because my daughter has to have them now. Great shoes but super disappointed about this. She can’t wear them with these strings in them so hopefully I can get them cut out just having trouble getting scissors down in the shoes.

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.
