ASICS Gel-Excite 10 vs typical kids' running shoes: Real performance shoe for serious young runners

Regarding the ASICS Gel: Most kids’ running shoes are sneakers styled to look like performance shoes, but the Gel-Excite 10 is the real thing with actual [ASICS gel](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ASICS+gel&tag=wehavethat-20) cushioning and proper support. It’s ideal for kids in running clubs or cross-country, but probably overkill for casual PE use — though it won’t hurt.
