    More velcro, please! My son has x-wide feet so we are usually limited to NB and Stride Rite. We bought these this summer and they were comfy, but the problem is that the velcro does not extend all the way across the top of the foot, like most hook-and-loop shoes. Instead, there is only velcro under the "N" emblem. Disappointing, because if I didn't velcro it right over the "N" or if my son put his own shoes on, they would come unclasped and fall off. I would not buy these again, but at least they fit my son's fat feet!

    Cute concept, Bad execution. They seem true to size, but the big toe hole was humongous. I couldn't even walk around in the house with them without clinching my foot to keep it from falling out. The mid strap seemed to fit well, but my toe and the rest of my foot didn't know what to do. Really expensive for just a so-so looking sandal and NOT comfy.

    Perfect - My son loves his "fast" shoes. He calls them fast because he thinks they make him run quick. I call them fast because he can put them on by himself really quickly. The shoe fits perfectly and never slips off. They are really stylish looking too.

    My son loves them. My only complaint is that my son has a little bit of a narrow foot, so I have to pull the velcro tight and the shoe doesn't give enough leeway to pull the shoe really tight, but overall we do like them.

    This is the best site EVER! I ordered the toddler New Balance shoes for my 3 year old son. They were too small, so I had to send them back. (Note: New Balance runs narrow and small, so order at least a 1/2 size bigger and a wide.) Wow, free shipping each way! I was able to order the correct size and send the others back at no additional charge. It was so simple to print out a return label. Also, I received the shoes within 2 days of ordering them. Thank you for providing such a great website. This is the only site I will ever use from now on!

    Great shoe for my son who has extra wide feet. The only downfall as stated by another person is that the velcro is only at the ends of the N instead of the whole thing. Fortunately, the shoes still stay velcroed, but they have come undone a few times when the N wasn't totally on the velcro strip.

    CUTE shoes! I ordered these for my 21 month old. He\'s not yet ready to wear them, but they seem to be made well for toddlers since they\'re so flexible. The velcro is in a good place too.\r\n\r\nOn a different note, I can\'t believe Zappos\' free shipping and no sales tax! Not only that, but when I called to change the size of my order (before they were shipped) the salesman upgraded me to overnight shipping. I ordered them on Sat and they arrived at my doorstep by Monday! I love this website.

    These are really cute. I like that they have extra wide, but even at that, it's hard to get the velcro strap to go completely over to the other side of the shoe.

    My 2.5 year old really likes these running shoes and that he can take them on and off by himself. I like the wide velcro tab, although I wish the top flap extended down farther. When on, it only covers about 1/2 of the tab. And we also tried the wides instead thinking maybe he has wide feet, but they were much too wide. So we kept the regular width shoes and they seem to stay on okay in spite of only half of the velcro being utilized. They also don't show too much dirt, which is nice. Overall they are cute shoes that go with most of his clothes and I like that they don't have some stupid character or lights on them.

    With two little boys who love to run, play in the dirt, and have wide feet, there is no better shoe for the price. They are super comfy, clean up beautifully with a little soap and water, and they come in wide sizes. To top it all off, the velcro closure means the boys can put them on and take them off on their own, which they love. I keep ordering this same shoe in the next size up as my boys grow because we haven\'t found a better option. For all those parents of active, wide-feet children, THIS is a great shoe for you little ones!

    Zappos is the best! This was my first time ordering from them and I was totally pleased. The shoes took less than seven days to arrive! I love my baby's shoes and I plan to order another pair once he outgrows these. New Balance is sturdy and comfy for my 13 month old who is mastering walking. Although he likes to undo the velcro fastening at times, my son's shoes stay on his feet and are a perfect fit (extra wide!). The shoe is susceptible to stains because of its light color; however, they match nearly everything and are easy to clean. These shoes are great!

    The velcro issue. These shoes are very cute, comfortable, stable, easy to walk in. I ended up returning them because my own fault, I ordered the wrong size. I should have measured his foot instead of going by his previous shoe size. Zappos.com makes it very easy to do! If you have a toddler, you just measure with a ruler and then find the correct size on the size chart they provide on every page of shoes. My issue with these New Balance shoes is, like a lot of commenters here, the velcro! It's just under the "n" when it should extend the length of the flap to ensure a secure closure. This will probably only be a problem if your child has wide feet, like my boy does.
