I bought these for my 8 year old son who loved to run and had out grown all of his other shoes without telling me.They are cute and he loves them, however I ordered a size 13.5 and it appears he is going out outgrow these within a few months. I measured his feet prior to ordering and it said that size would be just big enough to also have space to grow.His toes are already almost at the top of the shoe. I’ll probably be ordering another pair soon.So far it looks like they are doing what a shoe is to do. Protect his little toes and get dirty..and not break. Lol. As of now, 2 weeks-ish, maybe 3 weeks at max, they are holding up just fine. BOTH boys love them, and by both I mean the little one who's feet are too small for the shoe. Lol He sometimes wears them more than his big brother. Haha. But I have no problems with this shoe yet. They do seem a tad on the skinny side for a foot, but they fit fine. Too bad they don't have half sizes though.Would I recommend these shoes??? Yes I would.My little boy LOVES these shoes! He wouldn't take them off the first day they arrived. The quality is excellent, as I have waited to review these until after he has worn them for awhile. My son is hard on shoes and these have lasted with just a few signs of wear. Other shoes at this point would have to be replaced.My 6 year old is super active, and these shoes are really nice, cushioning and supportive. Great buy for the price!Love the ASICS brand for my kids! This is my go to shoe for my kids since they have little to no arch! These cute shoes fit my seven year old daughter prefect! I usually order my kids shoes from Amzaon since most shoe stores do not carry these smaller sizes!My son wears only asics shoes for years because he claims other brands are not comfortable for him.He wears them daily in all activities, summer or rain.The pairs always last the year until he grows.Good quality, as I have come to expect from Asics.This shoes offer lots of arch support . It is super cute and fits as expected. My daughter has flat feet and this has helped her.
