From the Manufacturer

In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great shoe--held up to my kid as long as it fit, December 19, 2010

This review is from: ASICS Little Kid/Big Kid Gel-Nimbus 11 Running Shoe (Apparel)

Some might say I'm crazy to spend close to adult prices for a kid's shoe--but I do believe shoes (and mattresses) are something that are worth buying high quality. Now, just because something is a 'name brand' doesn't necessarily mean it's quality, but for this shoe going for the ASICS was worth it.

The shoe fit true to size (as much as I could tell by comparing with my son's other shoes). It was as well made as the adult sized ones I've seen/worn, and held up until my son outgrew them. By the time he did outgrow they were getting a little shaggy, but they sure did the job.

My son also really liked the colors (picked out on his own) and commented immediately that they fit well and were comfortable. As a then 7 year old boy he did run them hard too.

Highly recommended and worth paying extra!

I bought these shoes for myself (an adult with small feet), and they were immediately comfortable right out of the box. I could wear them all day and it was like walking on a cloud.
I would recommend them for children as well as adults.

Nice shoe that fits my son's wide foot. Can't find this dark color in stores, so I was thrilled to find it at Amazon!
