Absolutely love these sneakers for our toddler! With his extra wide foot, finding a pair that fits and offers a balancing support is not too easy, but these are great and quick with the velcro adjustment! Price was great too compared to others.

These fit my toddler boy well, and it’s very roomy and stylish! He wears an 8 XW because his ankles are quite thick and this pair works great, easy to get on, comfy and roomy.

I love these sneakers. I have always been a fan of New Balance footwear. I buy the 993 for myself and I saw they had them for kids, I was so excited. These particular sneakers fit my son perfectly. He has room to grow plus fit his wide feet. He is a size 8W, the 993 gives a thumbnail length for growth. I will buy these over and over again for my children and myself.

Great shoes for a baby or toddler. This is my second pair of these sneakers for my son. Only had to buy a second pair because he grew out of the first pair. He wears them every day and they hold up beautifully. Just throw them in the washing machine and they look like new!
Love the wide width too. These are pretty much the only sneakers that will fit my son's chubby feet!

Awesome little sneaks! Love these. My three year old wears a size 10. They fit great and stay on his feet. Cute and sporty.

I love these shoes for my son. The color is a little lighter than I though they were going to be. They seem comfortable and are light in weight. I would purchase again!

Great everyday shoe for a busy toddler. The wide shoe is perfect for my little guy's pudgy feet.

These are the best sneakers ever! They are so easy to get on and off, fit wide feet very well, and look adorable on a little boy. Plus they hold up well and look new for a long time.

I've been buying these sneakers every 6 months for the past 3 years as my son's feet size grows...and to change the color depending of the season, that is to say how much we love them. They're very comfortable and they fit my son's wide feet perfectly. My toddler can put them on as well as take them off very easily by himself.

My son has an extra wide foot. I ordered the W and these shoes are for sure wide and provide my 2 year old a ton of support. I would buy these again and again as his foot grows.

These are a great pair of shoes! I got them for my 15 month old son who has wide chubby feet. They fit really well and are easy to get on and off. I definitely recommend them!

My son loves these shoes. He is 3 1/2 years old & loves that he can put them on himself. He is a boy's boy & wears shoes down quickly...these are really durable, and still look brand new. The Velcro is perfect on these shoes...most Velcro on kids shoes is too weak...or too strong. He can easily undo the Velcro, but they hold tight when he is in a full sprint...great shoes.

I bought these for my almost 3 year old. He measured at 8.5 but I got him a 9 so his feet could grow. I was nervous about how thick that heel looks, but it is not that high in reality. My son doesn't have wide feet and the M fits him just fine. They are made from good sturdy products and are very supportive for his ever running feet. The velcro closure is really handy too. We got them in Navy, and they look really cute. I'll be getting these again.

I bought these shoes for my 18 month old son. He just got AFO (SMO)and we have looked every where to find shoes that fit with them in it. I ordered these in hope of that and they work great. The Velcro strap fastens nicely. I did order them in a wide to accommodate the AFO, normally he would wear a medium or normal shoes width. If your child wears AFOs then these are the shoes you have been looking for. I ordered them in the Olive Green/Brown and they go with everything. These shoes are super cute and look like they will last a while. This is my first time ordering from Zappos and I must say they are wonderful!

These are awesome! They fit my little guy's chubby feet. My 20 month old has the widest feet that I have ever seen. He does not ask to take them off on hikes. I will continue to buy the next size as he grows.

Gray is not just for boys! I love these shoes and had to get XW for my 3 year old daughter. I think these are much cuter and more versatile than the New Balance pink for girls. I'm so happy with this color, it's adorable without being too cutsey.

So I got my 20 month old these shoes. Yes i got them a bit too big, but they are really good and they should last him through the summer. They are wide enough that they don't mark his feet like the other ones did. Love them hope they were not so expensive, but they are still work the money.

New Balance is the only running shoe that fits my son's extra wide feet. They seem very comfortable for him. There is a very strong chemical odor on these shoes that never really went away.

These are great shoes! I read the reviews and decided to buy this for my 35 month old who has very chunky feet. The wide was perfect and he can put these shoes on himself. This is the first pair that he has been able to do that with. He does sometimes switches the right and left. These are now his favorite shoe because he feels so independent. I was concerned because the soles seemed thick and high, but he has navigated them just fine walking and running so it does not seem to be a big deal.

I bought these shoes in two colors - blue and grey - and - I love both of them and so do the recipients! Comfortable, well constructed shoes. If you order them -- you'll be pleased.

The wide strap right at the arch helps to get the shoe good and tight for my son's narrow foot without sacrificing the convenience of hook and loop closure.
