Kids have been through a few pairs of asics. They seem to wear comparable to other major brands. Never had sole peel like other children’s runners. One of my kids slides in/out of these leaving the laces tied and while not visible the heel counter bends/folds but has never broken. Overall we are satisfied with ASICS products and will continue to buy.Shoes fit true to size and are quality built.

Excellent shoes, my daughter loves them. We intended to go to another store to buy school shoes but their service was horrible, ended up in Myer and their service was fantastic, they were so willing and helpful for our autistic daughter to feel comfortable with trying pairs on to get the best fit for her.Thanks team!

Comfortable school shoes for early years. My 7yo son has worn asics contend shoes since starting school and loves them. He is sensory sensitive and hypermobile so he needs shoes that are comfortable and supportive and these are just that. They aren't stiff and hard like many school shoes can be. He wears them for aports and everyday. I only wish they had a velcro option above size 3.

Have bought these before, buying again for school sport. Good value, light weight, breathable and quality manufacture. Comfortable fit and they look good as well. Our kids love them. Asics are their favourite sport brand.
Great fitting sports shoe and the white is very much the fashion with young girls. Can find it difficult to buy shoes for my daughter but can trust the Asics brand for good fit and quality. Daughter was wearing them as soon as I had purchased them! Very happy.
Staff at Shoes & Sox Chadstone was amazingly helpful to getting the right fit my 8 year old child. So amazingly patient and kind to my kid. They make the shopping experience exceptional. We would go back again when he outgoes the current pair.
The ASICS runner were extremely comfortable and had great support for my eight year old daughter. Also developing her skills in how to do up her shoe laces . We love the colour, very retro and cool. My daughter wore the shoes to netball on Saturday, and they gave her great support, around the ankle area. The shoes truly do it all, and look good while doing it.
I recently bought a pair of sneakers for my 8-year-old daughter, and I'm quite satisfied. The shoes are not only stylish but also comfortable, providing good support for her active lifestyle. The sizing was accurate, and the quality seems durable. Overall, a positive outcome with this purchase.
