20 Best Track Shoes For Youth (2023 Updated)

I wish I had read the reviews before buying these. It’s a great looking shoe and comfortable but as others have mentioned the Velcro is short and weak. The left side stays on but the right comes undone constantly.

We will return and purchase a shoe that ties up instead. Disappointing that adidas hasn’t fixed the issue with all the bad reviews.

My grand son was running a mile run and on his final stretch the velcro came loose and he threw his shoe and finished with one shoe on and a sock on his other foot. I want to take them back but he likes them and say they fill good.

He is always having to put them back on his feet because the velcro don’t hold. he will have other shoes that will stay on his feet on his next run not these.

Loved the color, fit seemed good (size 1 for my 7 yo). But after just a few weeks of wear, we cannot get the velcro strap to stay closed. My husband took to taping it with sports tape tonight, so that my son didn’t miss soccer practice.

I bought these sneakers 3 weeks ago for my 10 year old son. They are already worn in 2 spots. And now that I read the reviews i should have never bought them. I’ll choose another brand sneaker before adidas at this point.

He had target sneakers that lasted longer! Luckily I called customer service and they exchanged them for a new pair but I’m sure in 3 weeks they will be in the same condition as the first pair.

I bought these shoes for 16$. I really like Adidas shoes because it is very soft and very comfortable to walk on. My daughter loves Disney cartoon characters. So this is a very perfect choice for my daughter.

The patterns on the shoes are very carefully and beautifully rented. The colors are also very nice. My daughter was very happy with these shoes.

These were Delivered Nov 3, for my daughter to wear to school, she has not participated in any sports outside of school. She has been on break since Dec 17, Considering she also had a full week off for Thanksgiving and we haven’t travelled anywhere, that is approximately five weeks of use, and they already have a hole at the seam.

She is not one to be hard on her shoes, and we’ve never had this problem before. Very disappointed.

My daughter loved the light colors on these shoes and that it had big girl laces so she could tie her own shoes instead of Velcro. She said they are comfortable and she wears them everyday to school.

They fit true to size. Only con would be that they get dirty easily but that happens with any light color cloth shoe. Would recommend.

My daughter uses these shoes for track. They are holding up pretty well. She has not complained about how they make her feet feel. The color of the shoes are light so dirt can be seen easily.

Purchased for my daughter for “PE”. She is in 4th grade and wanted shoes for when they run. She says they are lite and comfortable. They also fit true to size, she has a narrow foot- but the width is good for her.

My son loves to run around and play all kinds of sports/activities. These shoes have held up well after a month and are very comfortable. The one issue I have is with the color. The “red” color that I purchased is EXTREMELY light and bright.

Fortunately my son doesn’t mind but keep that in mind if you buy at color.

Disappointed. I bought two pair of these at the same time for my two boys. One shoe lost its in-sole insert within a month. A different shoe began losing the piece that wraps around the side of shoe (on the sole) within a month.

Good looking shoes and seems comfortable, but they need to last longer than a month.

We bought these shoes for my son’s off-season cross country and track workouts. We didn’t want to spend a ton of money on a growing foot, so we decided to give these a try. It was a great thing. We got them on sale and the best part is that he loves the shoe.

We will probably have to buy more shoes by the time cross country starts in a few months, but these did the trick.

This is the second pair of these shoes we’ve purchased. The first one held up to daily wear for 9 months and nothing was falling apart. But they’d gotten a bit smelly and his feet grew a little so we upgraded to a half size up on a new pair.

I already purchased the next half size up as well. When it was time to order I asked if he wanted to try something different but he says these are the most comfortable and don’t make the bottoms of his feet hurt.

My son is on his 3rd pair of these sneakers. They wear really well. We finally found sneakers that don’t form holes in the toe. The only watch out is in the ball of the foot. I’ve had to incorporate inserts into my son’s sneakers because he is blowing through the ball section of the insert, likely because he sometimes wears them to play basketball, so there is more rubbing with the jumping motion.

Looking for a shoes for easy on and off yet not childish. Yes, my child can tie his shoes on his own, but when changing out of his shoes in the winter I like the option of Velcro. Details, appears to have great support.

The toe box is roomy, but not too wide or pointy. It’s feels sturdy the material that it could handle the wear and tear an active child can put on their shoes. Overall great stylish shoe that doesn’t look like a toddler shoe for an older kid who just wants easy on and off without giving up style.

I originally bought these for 13 year old son but they hurt the arch of his feet every time he wore them so I tried them on and they fit me perfectly. I got him a 7 in Big Kids and apparently that’s equivalent to an 8.

5 in women’s which is my size. I can feel what he’s talking about with the arch pain. I feel like if you have flat feet or if you lean most of you weight into your heels (like my son) you will feel the burning sensation he felt.

I tried to figure out what he was feeling because they feel GREAT on me and when I lean my weight back into the shoes, I felt the burn. I don’t normally stand with my weight to the back of my heels but these shoes rise up on the heel and it makes you want to lean back.

For me, they are perfect, I LOVE them! Super comfy and stylish. Not easy to wear with socks though, in my opinion. Use super thin socks that don’t slide easily. I use Peds ankle socks and they’re extremely thin and have rubber on the heal to stop them from sliding down but when I slide my foot into these shoes, they push my socks back and it’s uncomfortable.

I don’t have an issue with sweaty or stinky feet so I just wear them without socks. I’ve worn my Sketchers slip on sneakers for years without socks and they never smelled so I feel okay without socks.

My Son is 10 I bought these sneakers because of the low price for a short vacation I didn’t want to spend $125 for my son to ruin the sneaker on our trip, he is very active. My son absolutely loves these sneakers, he will not wear any of the other expensive sneakers I have bought him.

They are super comfortable for him. He has worn them for a year, they have held together, although they look roughly worn. No holes on the soles and the material has not torn. I have to get him another pair because I can’t stand that they look so worn, but 10 year old boys don’t care! I would recommend these sneakers.

My son loved the shoes because they’re very comfortable and easy to put but we had a bit of an issue with the durability. After about 6 months it started to make a big hole on his right foot because of him scraping his foot on the ground in sports with quick agility on the asphalt.

On the top of the shoe it isn’t very durable either because on the second day of having these shoes they got scratched. This is because the top is pretty thin (most likely for breathing space) so go walking around in wet grass and you’re soaked! Other than that these shoes are great if you’re child can take care of them and I highly recommend!.

We bought these for my daughter. The shoe is really cute, but she didn’t like the feel of it on the back of her ankle. It’s formed so there’s a seam right in the middle of her Achilles tendon with two “lumps” as she calls them on either side.

It makes her foot slide even though there was a thumb width between her big toe and the front of the shoe. So we’ll be returning these to the store to try and find something else. Cute shoe, just wish it would fit better.

The plastic pieces on the toes started peeling off of the fabric after only a month…then, they started to get moldy underneath where the plastic had peeled up. Gross! These shoes looked like we’d had them a year after only a month of wear.

Complete waste of money! Do not buy!.

My son loves them. They’re super comfortable. In the last 6 months I have purchased 4 pairs though. They DO NOT hold up very well. He is 10 years old and wears these only to school. Okay shoes are a separate pair.

Worn out way before my 10yr old grew out them, and he only wears these as regular sneakers. He wears separate shoes for playing any sports. His big toe bore a hole in the insole in about a month.

I purchase this shoe for my 8 year old boy. I love the color combination but it is a bit snug on width. I wish I would gone with a half size bigger. But overall a very nice shoe!

These are adorable little Nikes for a toddler but they are such a struggle to get on. No matter which way, how thin the socks are or how I maneuver my sons foot, these are so difficult to get on. The opening in the shoe is very narrow even with the Velcro sides.

I wish there was an opening on both sides or even just a normal laced tongue so I could loosen it more to fit his foot inside. I also know these are slightly too big for him because he’s currently a 6.

5 and these are size 7 but they are still hard to get on. I got these specifically for his soccer lessons but struggle every practice to get them on for him. I’m so scared of hurting his ankle/foot as I reef them on everytime.

Once they are actually on, he runs like the wind in them and they stay put but next time I would buy a park that lace up all the way to save me time and energy.

i bought these for my 8 year old daughter and she loves them. They look smart and the silver colour doesn’t show marks like white does. We’d just got new netball shoes measured up at Athlete’s Foot a few weeks prior and were a size 4 in ASICS.

We got the same size in these and they were a perfect fit. I ordered Click and Collect at Whitford City and it was so fast and the staff were friendly and efficient. Overall these were good value for money.

What a gorgeous shoe! We got the purple with metallic, my daughter finds them comfy and they go with all of her wardrobe. Like the darker colour as they are more forgiving of a bit of dirt etc. We liked these so much we got in the next three sizes up! Since seeing them at the park one Mum wants to get them for her daughter too! Highly recommend these shoes for active little girls! I followed the size chart and went up the next half size and they are perfect.

This is a comfortable, classic sneaker for our active 2. 5yo boy who has wide feet. For comparison, he wears a size 8 in Carter’s (closed-toed water shoes). We bought a size 9 in this running shoe, and it’s definitely snug on the sides of his wide feet.

He doesn’t complain though, and after two weeks, he has no blisters. We tried on a 10 in the store, and although the width was a better fit, a 10 was too long and made him trip. I strongly recommend going to the store to try these on in-person if your little one has wide feet.

These shoes are great! I needed to replace my 8 yr old’s shoes after went back to school and said he “was done with Vans” because they hurt his feet when he ran. Since he demolished 2 pair of Nikes in less than 6 months last year I had to try something new.

These Adidas pass with flying colors! They look great, are very durable and my son keeps saying how comfortable they are.

Bought these for my son. They are nice looking and look as expected. I wasn’t impressed with the quality of these shoes though. My son says that they aren’t very comfortable and hurt his feet. I bought them online and planned to bring them back to a DSW store.

The closest to me is an hour drive. When I got there, I found out that they had closed! I guess we are stuck with them, as I don’t feel like hassling with the mail.

This is the second pair I’ve purchased for my son, he loves them with the different color options. He says they’re comfortable, only issue we’ve had is sometimes if he’s kicking a ball around with friends, the shoe will come off more easily than his other pairs.

Obviously we aren’t using them for soccer, he has cleats for that, but they are a wider shoe so that’s probably what causes that one.

Purchased size 5 for my son’s school shoes. They aren’t as narrow as Nike usually are and as I bought online it was a little hard to know the fit. I have since added innersoles and he wears thick socks with them.

Laces are quite long. I wish they were a bit shorter. I’m sure shorter laces could be purchased online. Overall he likes the look of them. Buying the shoes on Rebel’s website was straight forward and click and collect was very fast.

I am a post woman and bought these for work in the summer. They didn’t need wearing in, they’re perfect for my wide feet and kept my feet cool. On the occasions they get wet, they dry quickly. Id recommend going half a size up but if you have average width feet they might not come up tight?? Pictures clearly show they have pink on them so I’m not sure why they have been reviewed so low for that reason.

thats the fault of the buyer not the trainers. Good comfy all round trainers, my 3rd pair of this style!.

I bought this pair online and after wearing around the house for 5 days glue in the top front started to come off and layers came loose. I went to the shop and was very happy to have the pair replaced.

Sadly the same thing happened after only 2 days again. Asked for money back and lost my believe in the brand. Very sad about it as I had the same pair for 3 years, survived multiple washes and nothing was falling apart.

Firs like a glove, it’s so comfortable and warm. Feels fabulous on my body and I feel really glamorous in it. Absolutely love the long sleeves that show under my warm UA fleecy top. The short top allows me much movement & I don’t feel restricted by wearing this tight fitting top.

I like how it’s short and I can see the band on my leggings. Love the cloud too and the high neckline. This top is a winner. My favourite one this season from UA & I am sn absolutely an UA fan!.

I owned to Assert 6 for the longest time (probably over 2 years) and absolutely LOVED them. They lasted me for a long time and never broke (I only bought new ones becayse I had so many miles on them!).

The Assert 8 is quite a bit different and I’d prefer the Assert 6 but nonetheless, these shoes are really cushioned and comfortable for standing and walking all day or for working out and even running.

My only complaint with these shoes is that the back of the shoe is quite high up and can rub against your achilles if your socks are low. The soles/bottom portion of the shoe (white part for the black shoes) is kinda of a weird material and looks more like plastic than regular tennis shoe material but it hasn’t caused any issues for me.

I’m typically a size 6 women’s and had a size 6 kids for the Assert 6 but it seems as if they have changed the sizing. I wasn’t sure if I should order another size 6 for the Assert 8 or follow the size chart and get a size 5, so I ended up getting a 5.

5, which is slightly too big for me. So I’d say definitely follow the size chart as it’s pretty accurate.

I purchased these about a few weeks ago for our daughter. She seems to love them a lot and wears them around the house. She said they are very comfortable and I also noticed that they are true to size.

Overall great shoes for kids or adults. You can’t go wrong with the Under armour line of shoes.

The shoes look great and my son said they’re comfortable, but the velcro strap is far too short and does not stay secure. Unfortunately, the shoes are unwearable. I’m hoping Dick’s will allow for an exchange.

Bought these a few weeks ago for my daughter in purple and she loves them! Fit is great as is the style/look. Some other kids athletic shoes can be tight or hard to get on and these were much easier.

We bought these this week for our back to school kiddo. We’ve been wearing the nike flex runner since kiddo was 2 and a half. Three years and several pairs later; we’re back for kindergarten shoes. I always buy two pairs, usually different colors.

Best athletic and running shoe on market for this kiddo. Tried the kids size 12 on in the store,wore them out of the store(yes, we’re those parents)never took them off until 4 hours and much walking later.

Absolutely no break in with these.

Aqua/Black/White/Metallic Silver Love the colors very bright and love that the sole is all black. Thankfully these fit true to size. Feels comfortable on my foot as well. However, the material for this shoe is soooo bad.

There is some sort of crinkly paper sound on the blue material. The shoe itself is stiff, I’m wondering if maybe I have received a defective shoe. The quality of Nike products seems to always fall off.

From the squeaky vapormax to the sizing in airmax varying. Get it together Nike.

Very disappointed in the navy an lime green shoe. I have 7 pairs and all the colors are as shown in the picture but my 8th pair is different. I love these shoes because of the bright colors and comfort.

The shoe is white with navy blue from the front until behind the Nike check on the side. The back and bottom are as pictured. Due to the mishap I the front clothing color choices will definitely be limited.

These Air Zoom Pegasus 39’s are extremely comfortable. When you walk in them you can feel the cushioning and padding on the heel of your shoes spring back when you press down on the shoe. I wore these as I worked and jogged.

I had knee surgery in December so a pair of shoes with good cushioning and support is needed so my knee doesn’t take too much pressure from running. This shoe provided that cushion and support I needed.

The design of this shoe is very nice! It looks sporty and is lightweight. The color combo is also very nice. The colors complement each others nicely and is easy to match with clothes you already have.

I wore light colored leggings, shorts, and a white shirt with these shoes. But you can also wear blue with them as well. The Nike stripe being orange was cute and made the shoe pop in a good way. The shoe fit well for me.

I typically wear a women’s size 8 and the size 6. 5Y was comfortable and roomy. They weren’t too snug but a comfortable fit. I wore them all day and drove 3 hours while wearing them. I didn’t have any problems and my feet didn’t hurt during the drive either.

If you’re looking for a durable and comfy shoe for running, I highly recommend these. The Pegasus shoes have always been comfy and very cushiony. I really like the new design of the shoe. My only con is that the shoe color I have is light and gets dirty easily.

Since the cold fall and winter weather is approaching I’ll most likely be using these for treadmill running. The sole has a bunch of cushion and good bounce to it with impact from running. The shoe fits comfortably, not too wide or narrow.

I also love that the shoes are light (despite not looking like it) and that the laces are flat. The flat laces really help keep the shoe stay tied during the run.

Nicer in person than the picture, comfy and affordable. I’m a nurse and addicted to sneakers that match my uniform that’s royal blue. This is my 3rd pair of adidas and I love the quality and affordability.

I’m a 6. 5 normally but closer to 7 in women’s sneakers because my feet swell from being on them I’m on my feet for 12 + hours. Size 5 boys sneakers fit perfect.

I bought these for my 7 year old son to get away from Velcro shoes. He loved them at first but now says he doesn’t because they easily come untied. I am baffled how because I double knot them. Not much wear and tear on them yet because he doesn’t want to wear them now.

Otherwise it’s a great shoe if it doesn’t come untied all day in school.

These are a back to school pick and were style and brand picked. There are mixed reviews on how they hold up but they look to be pretty good so far. Kids are rough on shoes but I’m hoping these will last for 6 months or so.

The base looks like it’ll be good. I’ll only buy the sales with coupons though given the other reviews.
