Fit is the whole thing with children's shoes and the rule is about a thumb's width of growing room -- roughly 1.2 cm -- because children's feet grow in bursts and children do not reliably say a shoe hurts.

Who the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 Men's Running Shoes is for

Buy it if: Neutral runners already accustomed to a traditional 8 to 10 mm drop.

Avoid it if: Overpronators, who need a stability shoe, and anyone switching abruptly from a low-drop shoe.

Who the Stride Rite Light-Up Athletic Sneakers for Kids is for

Buy it if: Parents who will measure feet every few months rather than buying by size memory.

Avoid it if: Anyone wanting washable shoes -- submerging these destroys the LED circuit.

Drop10 mm -- a traditional drop that loads the calf and Achilles less than a low-drop shoe not published
Fit rule not publishedAbout 1.2 cm of growing room at the toe -- roughly a thumb's width. Less and the shoe is outgrown within weeks; more and the foot slides

MidsoleReact foam with two Zoom Air units not published
OutsoleRubber waffle, which wears fast on Indian concrete not published
Safety not publishedLEDs are sealed in the sole with a non-replaceable battery. The shoe must be disposed of, not opened
Sole not publishedFlexible rubber, which is what a developing foot needs rather than a rigid support sole
Stack height33 mm heel, 23 mm forefoot not published
Support typeNeutral -- not a stability shoe, so it does not correct overpronation not published
Washing not publishedWipe clean only. Submerging kills the LED circuit
Why drop mattersIt determines which tissues absorb load. Changing drop abruptly is a well-known cause of Achilles and calf injury not published
Why fit matters more for children not publishedChildren's feet grow in bursts and they do not reliably report a shoe being too small. Measure every 2 to 3 months under 3, and every 4 months after
