The elastic laces are all small. The shoes come "sucked in" and the foot struggles to get in... Definitely one size up.

One of the best shoes I have bought for my daughter. Comfortable and durable (washed over 10 times in the washing machine and they didn't get damaged at all).

I bought them for my four-year-old son and I was thrilled. He wears them on the playground where I enrolled him, but also at school every day. They are comfortable for him to run in, he can easily put them on by himself, and they have never hurt him even though he is a bit clumsy :). Plus, they are very stylish. Top purchase that I will probably make again in a few months

It is wide enough so that the foot does not gather/press.
As for the positives, the stitching on the sole piece that goes upwards is stronger compared to other companies' which are simply glued.
If the velcro is like the rest of the Asics, it is not expected to break.
For our children, Asics are the only ones that last 6 months without significant wear.
