Great shoe for my 10 yr old. Holds up well, he always out grows asics shoes before they wear out... unlike other brands.

I could not resist these bright tennis shoes! They are so colorful! Most importantly, the Venture 8 shoes are very comfortable to walk in.

My daughter lives in Asics. They're the best brand for her to wear with her orthotic inserts, as they're narrow enough for her foot and have excellent heel support that keeps her foot stable in the shoe. She finds them so comfortable, and they were hard to find this year but she was thrilled with this color!

Following the reviews already shared for these shoes that said they ran small, I ordered up a size for my child and they fit perfectly.

I had originally ordered a 4.5 and it just fit, too close to the toe for a kids shoe. I didn't notice the suggestion to order a half size up if in-between sizes. I got the 5 and they fit beautifully.

Reviewed at Asics
My son is currently dealing with Sever's disease and I bough these shoes at the recommendation of a website with information about his condition. He has only worn them a handful of time but so far he mentions his heels do not hurt nearly as bad (if at all) as most other shoes. I believe the Gel is a game changer and I will definitely continue purchasing this style until he outgrows Sever's.

We love the Asics brand as an ‘active’ shoe. This was definitely made cheaper than the adult shoes (not sure why you would want to do this?). Shoelaces frayed within first few weeks.

Lost a star due to size; my son has just outgrown his Under Armour sneakers; these are stated as a full size larger and have identical fit as the UA ones! UA tends to run the same as Adidas (for us) but this is wildly different! Toe box seems a bit snug, but the length is the real issue.
