I purchased 2 pair of these sneakers. My son & daughter must wear uniforms to school. These colors match their uniforms. Both of my kids are pleased with these shoes when they tried them only. While writing this review they had not started the new school year. I will post another review if these shoes fail to meet "mom's" expectations.

10 days was all it took for the hard part of the sole to start to detach from the soft undersold. Pretty incredible actually. 10 days!

My son is ridiculously hard on shoes. He destroys them before he grows out of them. These New Balance sneakers lasted the longest of any pair of sneakers he's owned. We're on our second pair now. I will keep buying this brand. I also like that New Balance comes in half sizes. Not all kids' sneaks do.

I love the fact that New Balance makes wide shoes. It's so hard to find great shoes like these in Wide! Zappos.com always has a great selection and super fast shipping!

I'd also recommend: Nike and Stride Rite
