My 11 year old daughter wears this shoe in a running program where the girls run in the woods a couple of times a week. She loves these shoes and all the other girls oohed and aahed over them. They are constructed and fit like adult running shoes but designed for children's foot structure. Very pleased.
My daughter loves this shoe! The Saucony Circuit is the take down version of the adult Saucony ProGrid Paramount, the top-of-the line running shoe in the Saucony line. The kid's Circuit fits great, offers great cushioning (thanks to the GRID device in the heal), and has the Comfortemp material in it just like in the adult Paramount. This material works to maintain a comfortable foot temperature, cooling and warming depending on the child's foot. The Circuit has great cosmetics and detailing and even has an Arch Lock to offer good support around the arch area. If your girl or boy likes to run around, try the Circuit (or the Triumph 5 which is very similar but doesn't have Comfortemp). Saucony is owned by Stride Rite so their Saucony children's shoes are built well. My daugther has had numerous Saucony shoes since she was born. She's now almost 5 and she has loved all her Sauconys. They are definitely worth a try.
