Kids’ Running Shoes (16)

Shop running shoes for big and little kids

ASICS kids’ running shoes give your child the foundation for reaching their running potential. We apply the same human-centric science of movement focus that serves elite athletes to developing running shoes for kids. ASICS girls’ and boys’ running shoes support young, growing feet with good cushioning, stability and protection while they run and play.

Types of kids’ running shoes

Whether your child needs youth running shoes for school sports lessons, a track or kids' road running event or a serious competition, our running shoes for boys and girls provide the support, comfort and style to help your children meet their goals. We have specially designed girls’ running shoes and boys’ running shoes to match their tastes and ensure they feel good when lacing up.

• Everyday kids’ running shoes: ASICS kids’ options stand up to your child’s daily routine. The GT-1000™ 13 GS shoe accommodates growing feet and offers versatile stability. The PRE-EXCITE™ 10 PS shoe starts little ones off right with graphics that make it easy to tell left from right.

Are kids’ running shoes the same as adults’?

Our children’s running shoes are designed for kids growing feet rather than being smaller versions of adult shoes. ASICS kid’s running shoes are the only ones in Australia with the backing of both Sports Medicine Australia (SMA) and Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA), which means you can be confident they provide good cushioning, stability and protection for young athletes.
