ASICS Gel Contend 3 GS SL Running Shoe (Little Kid/Big Kid)

I brought these in black for my 9 year old to wear to school. I have been very, very impressed. He was worn them basically every day for 6 months and still going strong - they are only just starting to show wear. He runs about playing soccer/football most lunchtimes so is normally quite hard on shoes. There are no visible scuff marks which normally appear on school shoes. The rubber on the front has remained in place and is just starting to wear through as opposed to coming unstuck/unstitched. Finally a pair of shoes that he is going to grow out of instead of them falling apart first. I highly recommend these shoes and have just ordered the next size up.

My son wears a 3.0 in conventional sneakers, but a 4.0 in these. When both brands are placed next to each other, they are the same length despite being different sizes.Regarding quality, my son has a slow growing foot and has been able to wear these with zero damage for 8 months, 5 days a week, 7 hours a day for school, recess, and gym. When he finally outgrew them, we handed them down in really great condition.As for comfort, GET THEM. It's like walking on springy clouds. My son's testimony made me switch my own sneakers from new balance to Asics. So glad I did! But you have to size up between half to a full size on the adult ones too.

These have been the best school shoes I have purchased in 8 years of buying black leather shoes. They are lighter than ones we have had in the past and really held up well all year! I was disappointed that they didn't come in Velcro for my younger son who could not have lace up shoes. If they still fit, we will be starting the next school year with them. I will definitely buy these again when my son grows out of the current ones.

I purchased these "boys" sneakers for myself (a grown woman) simply because boys footwear is made better and lasts longer. I haven't purchased athletic footwear or work boots made for adult women in decades. This is my first pair of this brand and the fit is great. Time will tell if the product holds up as expected.

I have tiny feet for an adult and I purchased these for my nursing clinical rotation in school. They fit perfectly. I haven't worn them as of yet, but I'm a huge fan of Asics. All of my running shoes are Asics, so I am anticipating these will perform very well too.

It's been harder and harder to find solid white shoes for work. Thankfully my feet are small enough I can swing kids shoes. These are as comfortable now as they were when I purchased them. I love Asics and they are my go to brand now.

I love these shoes and was looking to purchase a few more pairs.. Too bad they are no longer in stock!As an adult, I have tiny feet. It's really hard to find shoes for me. So, I was happy to find these!

This is my second pair of this particular model. The bright colors are great for weekends, but sometimes you need a nice conservative comfortable black shoe (for the airport, etc.)
