Review on ASICS Kids' Gel-Contend 4 GS Running Shoe: Comfort and Performance for Young Athletes by Chad Overturf

For those of you who have doubts about buying Asics for your kids, let me say this: My son wears TERRIBLE shoes. I've ALWAYS bought him Nike or Adidas shoes since kindergarten and usually within a month or two after wearing them ONLY TO SCHOOL, albeit the sock tightens, sole falls off, laces snap etc. HOWEVER have I bought my son a pair of Asics shoes for school just after Christmas last year and he wore them through the end of the school year in May and THEY ARE LASTING PERFECTLY! He still wears them as play shoes. I was afraid it might have been an accident so I bought a second pair for him this year and so far they are holding up as well as the others! I am absolutely so impressed with them and will not be changing brands!
