    Bought these for my son who has XW feet and I absolutely love them! They look great on him, and go on easier than some other sneakers that claim to be xw. He can run around in them withouth any trouble at all, and they definitely run true to size! I'll definitely be purchasing this brand in the future for him. The price is worth it.

    These New Balance sneakers are great for my toddler! He loved them from the start and didn't want to take them off! He looks like a big kid wearing them. They are the usual high-quality New Balance looks and construction. And with Zappos.com service, you will love them even more!

    Great for wide feet! My 2 year old is tough to fit because his feet are so wide. New Balance is one of our few options in terms of sneakers and these are very cute. Good colors, nice fit, and my son loves them!

    Good for kids in AFO/braces. This shoe is wide all over, and easily fits a brace. The only catch is check the heel and it might be too high and rub against the high portion of a brace. For my son, this is his running shoe and he runs like the wind in his braces.

    These shoes have lasted better for my three year old than the last several pairs (other brands, like Puma and Stride Rite). He is been averaging just three to four weeks of daily use for a pair of shoes before they either wear through in the toe or start falling apart in the stitching. These still look nearly new after more than a month. He can easily get them on and off by himself as well. These are a real win!

    These are great shoes for my 3 1/2 year old that now has to do everything himself. He can easily get them on, they open wide enough that he can get his foot in himself. He has a pair of Nike's with the one velcro strap at the top and elastic laces which one pair was easy to get on but the next size up is difficult. The velcro on this shoes makes me nervous because other people complain that it doesn't stick but I bought these shoes when he was younger and never had a problem. It's a great, stylish and comfy shoe.

    My 15 month old has very fat feet: 2XW. These shoes have held up well. Yes, he can unvelcro them himself, but he can't unlace them, so they still stay on his feet.

    This shoe is not an 8 Toddler. It's significantly smaller than my son's current sneakers that are 7.5 Toddler. And, yes, even inside the shoe it is marked as a US size 8.

    From the day we bought these the velcro did not stick. I like the overall color and style but the velcro was so disappointing, save your money and buy another shoe for your little ones.

    My son is extremely picky about what he wears and he was so excited about these shoes that he didn't want to take them off when it was time for bed! Not only am I ecstatic that he'll wear them, I love the way they look. So easy to get on and off and a quality shoe.
