This is about the 3rd pair of these that I have bought for my daughter, and they are the best shoes for school! Because they are New Balance, I know that they are going to be good for my toddler\'s feet, the fit and size are always good, and the shoes are well made. My daughter grows out of them long before these shoes wear out! \r\n\r\nHighly recommend for busy toddlers!

Love these shoes! Daddy got a matching pair. They're excellent quality, and are one of the few brands that offers wides. I now buy these instead of Stride Rites because for the same quality they cost less.

These shoes are great! My son has wide feet and the XWs fit him perfectly. They look really nice on and are holding up well. Zappos is an excellent merchant to deal with. I will definitely buy from them again.

Great shoe for my 2 year old. He loved them right out of the box (he's picky about shoes on his feet!). So I knew they must feel good to him. Just ordered another pair. He calls them his "t-shoes", and I'm sure they'll meet his high standards as well!! As always, love Zappos! Found them about 5-6 years ago and have never, ever regretted ordering anything from them, even if I had to return it! Refer all of my friends and family to them!

My son loves these shoes, even at 18 months he would not hear of even trying on others. At least I like how they look and it's not a battle I wish to enter into. They fit well and match everything. What more can you say?

These seem to be great shoes for my son, a new walker. His feet are wide, and other brands seemed to be uncomfortable. The only thing is the rubber sole is a little stiff initially. Took my 1 year old a little getting used to, but I'm sure as his walking progresses, he'll be using these more and more.

I would definitely recommend these shoes. The velcro strap makes it quick and easy to get the shoes on and off - always useful with impatient toddlers. The shoe is robust and durable. My son is very energetic and spends a lot of time outdoors. This shoe has frequently been in mud and water. Despite a lot of wear the shoe still looks good and it has not broken or come apart anywhere.

I love these shoes. I was looking for summer shoes that could go sock-less, but I had trouble finding any wide enough or with enough support and comfort. The New Balance kids have been great for summer. They fit great, and they are comfortable and oh-so-cute! My son loves them, too; he thinks he can run faster and jump higher!

These sneaks are awesome. They fit my 1 year old son great and he has been running all around the house and the playground since I put them on his feet. He gets a lot of compliments on how cute they are, too! Totally recommend these.

This is a great shoe. Looks good after months of wear, easy to keep clean, easy to wear and very comfortable. My son loves it.

They are a perfect sneaker for my active 17 month old boy! He has a box-like foot, so I was happy to see that this shoe comes in a wide width. They are a great shade of gray and do manage to stay looking clean with all of his outside play. This is the second time I've ordered this exact shoe from Zappos!

Great shoes! I've been buying this shoe for my toddler every time he moves up a size. They are definitely my favorite! Sturdy, easy for him to walk in, easy to get on/off. I love them! We get many compliments on the style, too!

Great shoes! This is my son's second pair and we love them. And just to make it even better, Zappos ships them very fast! Great service as always. I will continue to be a dedicated Zappos customer!

Great shoes! My son just started walking and these shoes have helped him tremendously. They are comfortable, easy to get on and off and very supportive. I highly recommend them and Zappos. I got them next day for free!

These are my son\'s favorite shoes! He has wider feet and these are the best shoes that I can find in an extra wide. We get them every time we need shoes and in every color. They are great, hold up well and I can\'t say enough about them. Great shoe!

These shoes are great. I would say that they run a tad big, but less than ½ a size. They are very easy to get on and off. They have held up well so far.

We bought these for my little guy's "first walking shoes" and immediately noticed a difference in his balance. He took his first steps wearing them, and wouldn't really walk without wearing them for a while - didn't trust his balance without them at first. They have good support, and are stylish - we've gotten compliments on them. They are easy to put on a squirmy toddler (also easy for him to take off when he's sitting in the car!). I would definitely re-purchase and recommend.

My son likes it, seems comfortable. The only thing is that the strap doesn’t completely cover the Velcro... but it could be because my son’s feet are chubby.

Buy a size up. My son was a size 8 in every other shoe, but needed a size 9 in this shoe. He loves the shoes though. He can get them off/on all by himself.

It fits as expected and is a great looking shoe, seems durable and easy on/off. Our two year old has only worn them a month or so but they seem to be holding up well. I do agree with some other folks that mentioned there's not enough velcro in the strap, only the part under the 'N' is velcro and I wonder how this holds up long term. So far, it's held up great and he loves them. Great shoe to help teach them to do it themselves.

These shoes are adorable. I got them for my 20 month old son. He can be rough in them. The only problem is that the velcro is only on the end of the strap and my son has a high instep and you have to really stretch the strap to get it connected and it's easily opened by him. Not sure what to do about that. We'll see how that works.

Good durable shoe that works well for a rough boy! Only problem is the Velcro comes off a bit too easy.
