Beautiful and they fit perfectly! This is the second pair of Athena Alexander sandals and they are not only very comfortable they also relieve the stress of pain in my heel.

Cute wedge...but walks with a clunky, wood block noise. I wear a (2) children's & (4) ladies. So any (4) that fits me probably runs (1) size small.

Received the shoes the next day (love it!) and they are very comfortable. I wore them all day and would like to buy them in another color. They are also lightweight and run true to size.

Very narrow shoe, even though I went up half a size. It stays true to the width on the screen. Fantastic color, though! Regret not being able to wear them.

Really decent shoes! They felt a little narrower than what I expected at first, but after wearing them all day, they felt much better. The style is pretty cute, but nothing great, just very basic. Overall I'm giving these a 5, because they're really decently cute looking shoes, while still being comfortable (I bought these to walk about 1 mile or so to/from the bus stop) and so far I've had great results! I think Athena Alexander makes excellent shoes! Great quality and style!

This is a beautiful shoe, my second time buying Athena Alexander. They are lightweight, very comfortable and stylish. The yellow with orange accents can be worn with many other colors so that also makes this a very versatile shoe. Best order a size larger than you normally wear as they do run small.

Attractive shoe, but from the online picture I didn't think it was patent leather which makes it appear dressier. I'm keeping them anyway, but haven't worn them yet.

These are just the cutest shoes. Very comfortable and still dressy. I listened to the other reviewers and ordered a half size larger -- good thing I did. A half size larger fit great. I am strongly considering getting another pair in red!

Runs small and narrower than most medium sized shoes. I like the style, but not the fit.

Really cute shoes but they did not fit at all. Too small. I could barely get my foot into them.

I bought these shoes in a wide width because my 2 year old son had to start wearing orthotics. His physical therapist recommended New Balance because they offer wide width shoes and have more to choose from than Stride Rite. So far I'm impressed with these shoes. At first I was concerned about them being velcro and not being able to fit properly over the orthotics, but they fit normal! I now recommend New Balance to anyone who has a child that needs to wear orthotics. My son likes them and I like the ease of putting them on and taking them off.

My son wears orthotics and these are the best shoes! They are nice and wide and comfortable and stay on him all day. The shoes easily slip on and off over the orthotics. The shoe insert isn't completely glued down so it's easy to take out since I need the extra space for the inserts. However, if you don't want to take them out, they are plenty glued down so that they won't come out on their one. I'm on my third pair of these for my son!

Awesome shoe for my 3 year old who has spina biffida and wears afo braces. These fit perfectly over the braces. Well worth the money.

These are the third pair of NB sneakers I have bought for my son. They fit really well on his wide foot and he has no problems running and playing in them. They are virtually indestructible, every pair he's had until he has outgrown them. They are a little more than I normally pay for kids shoes but they are worth every penny.

We've been buying the same NB sneakers (wide) for my son for two years. Super durable, comfortable for his wide foot, I love them and will continue to buy them as he outgrows these.

These were a gift for my three year old grandson's birthday. His mother gave me his size and color preference, so I went shopping. This was the first time that I had tried Zappos after seeing an ad on Facebook. The ordering process was a breeze, very easy to use and very fast. I found what I wanted quickly and ordered them. The came in only a few days. The shoes were an exact fit and just what I had ordered. I have since ordered two more times and each time it is the same ease, speed and product satisfaction. I am a big fan of Zappos. Thanks.

Cool and stylish shoe that I purchased for my 3 year old son. They are super cute and go with everything. I also love how well they hide dirt and that he can put them on all by himself! Great purchase. They look like a hipper version of the 993s!

At first I would've given the shoes a 5 star overall rating, but then after not even having them for 1 month they split at the toe. The New Balance emblem at the toe separated from the shoe. My 3 year old son only wore them maybe 5 times total. Maybe we just received a defective shoe?! I know he's all boy and puts things to the test, but this is the first shoe that has ever done this to him.

Without New Balance our 2-year-old would likely be shoe-less! It is the only brand that fits his wide feet. This is our third pair - only because he outgrew the others. Despite the beating they take, these shoes do not fall apart (unlike other brands we've tried). Don't let the price deter you because they will last!

This is the second pair of this shoe we have purchased for our son (in the next size up). He is pretty rough and tumble and usually goes through shoes quickly. These held up so well the first time that we decided to buy another pair!
