Nice shoe, good for a preschooler running around. Seems to run quite wide, in my opinion.

This is a great shoe for an active pre-schooler! My son likes they way they feel and we never have any trouble with him wearing them. Only downside is they do stretch out some after wearing and the velcro strap becomes too loose. That\'s with a lot of wearing though. This is our second pair. We were able to get 10 months out of the other pair which I thought was pretty good!

Nice shoes, good quality. Bigger than expected most 8W shoes fit my son, these were a little big but it won't be too long until they fit. I'd suggest that if you're looking for an 8W, purchase the 7.5W.

Great shoe for a wide foot - a little sporty looking and a little nicer styling with the suede. The threading came loose in a couple of areas after only a few wearings, but he did wear them outside for play.

These are super cute shoes and fit my 2 year old great around the toes, but the opening is so big that his heel slips out. I've had this problem with other NB shoes and was hoping these would be different. I am returning them and going back to Stride Rite.

My 3.5 year old son has had two pairs of these shoes. He does not grow all that fast, so maybe he wears shoes longer than most kiddos, but the suede fabric has completely separated from the velcro panel with both pairs of shoes. We love them for the versatility and convenience, but we are going to buy the laced pair next so we won't have to deal with the broken velcro panel once again.

Not very happy with this shoe...my son has only worn it for 2 months and the tongue broke off. Also the velcro kept opening while he was walking around.

The shoes look nice, but were not well designed. The velcro doesn't allow any give for kids with wider feet or ones that aren't able to pull the tab all the way over tightly. For both cases, the tab won't secure properly on the velcro and won't stay on, hence, the tab pops up and the shoe won't stay on.
