The Asics Gel-Galaxy 8 GS junior running shoes will make sure juniors not only look cool but also stay cool thanks to the open, breathable mesh upper. They offer great cushioning to keep feet comfortable during sporting activities, and are fairly light, weighing 217g (7.6oz). GEL® cushioning is located at the rear of the shoes to comfort and absorb impacts and shocks from every stride. Support for feet comes from the Guidance Trusstic System® which enhances gait efficiency.
