My daughter wears orthotic inserts and this brand is one of the only shoes we've found that fit them comfortably. The insole is easily removable, which also helps. I just want to point out that since this is a Japanese brand, their sizes are originally made in CM. So, you can order two different styles that are the same US Size and they are actually slightly different (you can tell by looking at the CM size, which unfortunately zappos doesn't show online). Just be warned that you may need to try a few different styles to get exactly what you are looking for, and just because one style fits in a certain size doesn't mean another will. These shoes are great, I just wish I could see the CM size when ordering so I didn't have to buy 4 pairs and return 3.
Those feet can't help but race across the playground in the supercool style of the Mako 2! All Tsukihoshi shoes run wider than normal medium width shoes. Machine-washable synthetic leather and nylon mesh upper. Lace-up closure for secure on and off. Heel tab to assist with on and off. Firm Heel Counters to support active feet. Green Tea-infused, removable insole. Features "Flex-Joint Outsole," which allows foot to bend properly. New, ultraweight outsole is durable and strong. It is recommended that you order a half size down for this item. If your child is a size 10, you would order a size 9.5. Imported. Tsukihoshi Toes - Free Your Toes - Generous forefoot construction allows toes to splay naturally for superior balance and comfort.

Customer reviews
I wrote a prior review raving about these shoes but now my daughter has worn them to camp for a week and my opinion has changed. They are starting to fall apart. The threading is starting to come out and there is already a small hole. If your child is not very active, then these could be a good pick.
My kids wore thru these shoes quickly, soles wore fast and developed a hole with a few months
Seem like nice shoes (and I am a fan of Tsukihoshi's) but sizing is off with these. They say US 2, UK2 and 22cm on the label, which makes no sense. The US2's we ordered are closer to US4 (which matches the 22cm).
We ordered 2.5 little kids, but the sizing was off. When we received, it was an adult 2.5, youth 10. So take your best guess! Really liked the style for me.
Love the design of the hook and loop, without it being a high top. No laces to trip on or laces to adjust or break with a toggle. Colors are fabulous! Doesn't seem to be much padding, but my daughter says it's comfortable, so mama's happy. This shoe washes well in the washing machine. Hopefully, Tsukihoshi kids will come out with a waterproof shoe in the near future. A toe protector would complete this shoe as perfect.
A little loose in the toe box, but a wonderful shoe
True to size.
By Elle, age 7: “The shoe is very cool to me! It has a lot of bounce so it feels like the shoes are doing my running by themselves, and it only takes one or two steps to stop. They are very comfortable! And they’re much better than lots of other shoes. I love them!”
Sizing is bizarre. The shoes we just received are huge. I ordered US kid size 4. The sticker on the box says that but it also says UK size 4.5. I’m pretty sure that US size 4 is UK size 3 so this sizing makes no sense. Obviously they are going back. The shoes that arrived look like they have been worn. They are cute though, gigantic size notwithstanding.
