Great bottom grip and solid running shoe
I'm always on the hunt for a GREAT shoe for my speedy little 6yo. PROS: True to size, a little stiff when we first bought it, but it's loosened up in the first 4 days of wearing them. My son thinks the colors look pretty "cool" as his favorite color is red. The grip on the bottom of the shoe is every parent's dream! Most sketchers have a very slick bottom, where it's almost dangerous in my opinion to play on a slippery playground, or play tag/dodgeball/basketball. I take my son running 1-3 miles weekly, so he really can beat up his shoes. We use these shoes as our everyday shoe and running shoe, and they are flexible, medium weight, and he can pivot well in them. OH, and these were our first shoes that he has to tie himself. The laces are thick and long enough for him do it all by himself! CONS: There is one 1" inside seaming of the shoe that bothered my son at first, but I think it's softened up by now, so not a huge problem. I wish they also had more 1/2 sizes available so I could have sized up a little more and make them last longer for us. Growing kids' feet grow FAST!

Great Performance Shoes
I bought these shoes in January 2023 for my son. He used these at school, used them on track and field practice for a whole season and used them to travel in as well. They finally have gotten a hole on the fabric mesh but can still be worn till he out grows the size soon.My son loves this pair of shoes. This has by far been the longest any shoe he has had and used.I wanted to purchase it again in a larger size and do not see it available. I highly recommend this shoe if your kid is extremely active.

Good support
My daughter was wearing her stylish Nike’s to school every day and when she had gym, she would always come home complaining of pain in her ankles and legs. These shoes give her the support she needs and she loves how comfortable they are. She wants them in black too. No more tears after gym.

🙀Surprisingly, Best for Basketball! ⛹️♀️
This is the 2nd pair of my daughter. I said surprisingly, for Asics shoes are popular for volleyball. We purchased the first pair as school shoes. My daughter plays league basketball and forgot to remove the Asics shoes to switch for her basketball shoes and played. From that time on, she prefers this Asics compared to the raved brands of basketball shoes that she already has due to constant slipping and falling hard on the court. This shoes has an excellent grip and finally, found the right shoes for the job! Price is reasonable and it’s a win-win!I highly recommend this shoes!

Run a little small.
Great shoe. Would have been 5 stars is sizing was a little more accurate compared with other companies. They seem to run a little small. Order 1/2 to 1 full size larger than other brands for a good fit on kids.

Fit as described
We’ve had trouble finding shoes that wouldn’t easily scuff or tear for our child. These shoes have been durable and easy to clean. The color helps to hide everyday dirt and the support in the shoes is great!

Comfortable running shoes for kids
Got this for my 10-yr-old nephew who is into serious running and track and field. He wanted something without a white sole, comfortable with enough cushion to run frequently/ daily. I sat with him to go through the colors before ordering this. He is absolutely thrilled to use this shoes. Reports being comfortable while running and walking.
