    Just want to tell you guys how awesome you are! I got overnight shipping on this shoe for my granddaughter and she loved them but they were a tiny bit short. I called last night about 7 pm local time to order a larger size and got them this afternoon!! She was here waiting for them even though I told her it may be tomorrow since I called so late. I have ordered all my shoes from y'all and I tell everyone about your awesome service and your employees. Thanks again Zappos!

    This shoe color is great for maintaining newness on an active girl. True to size and really gets a lot of attention instead of typical white. Finally a wide width besides gray and pink!

    My daughter has wide feet. It's hard to find shoes that fit her well and still look like normal shoes. These in XW do the trick perfectly. As always, Zappos is amazing with fast processing & shipping. I'll be ordering these again for sure.

    Bought these shoes for my five year old daughter. She loves them. She says the rainbow laces are so cute and the shoes are comfortable. They are also very easy to get on, not like some gym shoes that a child will struggle to get on.

    These shoes are super cute! My 5 year old loves them and says they are comfortable. The shoe size fits a little big which helps for room to grow, and the pink pops on these shoes next to the black.

    These shoes rock. My daughter loves to run on the playground during PE, and these are the shoes she wears while doing all of her activities. Besides that, Zappos is a wonderful company with very helpful customer service people and very friendly customer service policies.

    I love New Balance sneakers for my daughter and so does she. These are well-cushioned and stable and hold up well, even if you have to throw them into the washer/dryer. Her feet are on the narrow side, and New Balance has been consistently perfect. I find so many other children's shoes just swim on her or slip at the heels but never New Balance.
