I love these shoes for my 2 1/2 yr old. I just keep ordering them one size up each time he needs a new pair. They are easy to get on, he seems to do great in them.

These New Balance work out really well for my little guy. He hates to put shoes on, so the easy velcro (that makes the shoe loose, but doesn't slip out of the velcro loop) and stiff back make it very easy to slide on a foot that is squirming all around. And they are super cute and stylish, going with sweats, jeans, and shorts. Pricey for little shoes, but they are New Balance and he wears them everyday to get our money's worth. Totally would recommend.

We bought these for our 2-year-old son. He has wide feet so we ordered him the wide and he has more than enough room (I think that New Balances naturally run a little wide). They fit him perfectly. And... they're SO cute on him.

The shoes are great but the shipping was even better. One day turnaround, can't beat that. Seem to fit fine and look great. We've received several compliments on them and even been asked if they make them in adult sizes. Overall a great shoe.

Fast shipping & great selection . New balance.com did not have size & color needed! We highly recommend- product was as pictured.

We bought two pairs of these shoes about a month ago for both of our sons and we love them, more importantly, so do they. When you first take them out of the box you can tell they are made better than your average kids’ sneaker. The fit also seems to be much better.

My 3 year old son really loves these shoes. We are fairly loyal to New Balance, and they never disappoint. From the moment he put them on, he has never complained of discomfort, and he runs all the time. They are really cute too -- a very stylish look.

First of all, Zappos rocks! I received my order the next day! I absolutely love these shoes for my 18 month old. We had them in gray and now have them in blue. They are super soft, super comfortable, and super easy to put on. I have not found a better sneaker for my toddler. I have to hide them from him when we are not wearing them, because as soon as he sees them, he wants to put them on. He would wear them to bed if he could.

These are nice shoes for my 14 month old. They fit well, go on easy and stay on his feet well. They arrived within 24 hours of ordering them, with standard shipping.

This is by far my favorite shoe for my son since he learned to walk. He is now 3 and this is still the perfect shoe for him. They are easy for him to put on himself and the wide size accommodates his high instep. The only drawback to these shoes is that the suede can easily be damaged by rain, the beach, etc. We have two pairs, so he can have one that always looks good for school. The navy blue color is fantastic, hard to find in stores.

Finding an affordable, stylish shoe for my 2 1/2-year-old son (with an extra wide foot) has been much harder than I would have ever thought. These New Balance shoes are of good quality, easy for my son to put on and take off independently, and much less expensive than other name brands. This is the second pair that I have purchased for my son because of all these reasons. The only negative I can think of is that the reflective fabric on the "N" can cause a glare in photos. And lastly, who doesn't love the free shipping both ways from Zappos?

I love the shoes. They are so cute, old school, and comfortable. They are easy to use. My son loves them. I would say true to size.

These shoe\'s are awesome. My 3 y.o. has really wide feet and these fit him like a glove. This is now his 3rd pair. Loves to wear them around in just his pj\'s. My daughter has the pink 993 and loves them as well.

I love these shoes! My son has a very fat foot and is very hard to fit. These are the second pair of these that I have ordered. We have to have the XW. They fit him wonderfully and are so adorable on him. I love New Balance anyway, so I am so glad to be able to find these to fit him.

My son may never outgrown his fatty, wide foot. Therefore we have always been a big fan of the New Balance shoes in wide. The fit has always been true to size and the width perfect. The price is a little higher than other shoes, but they last and are made of breathable materials which are two strong selling points for me. Thanks, Zappos for always expediting the shoes in a very timely fashion.

These shoes are great! My very active two year old loves them. He has a very wide foot and they are very comfortable to him. We get compliments on them everywhere we go. And it never hurts to have some reflective material.

I love these shoes. I have bought this shoe ever since my son was 1 year old. My son was a little hefty and therefore his feet were fat even at the top of his foot. So, normal shoes with laces were too tight and you would see imprints on the top of his feet. So, I had to buy these shoes which came in EE and he didn\'t have any imprints. I just bought a size 8 1/2 in EE width and they fit him perfectly.

Love these shoes! Thank god for Zappos is all I have to say! My son unfortunately has an extremely wide foot. This is the only place that I have found that carries an extra wide shoe selection. I don't know what I would do without you guys. The shoes are very stylish and are very comfortable from what he tells me. Great service. Got them the next day! Will only buy from Zappos!

I love these shoes! They are soft and comfortable, but still supportive. The velcro option is great. I don’t buy sneakers without velcro and have a hard time finding stylish shoes with velcro. My 17 month old is starting to show preferences for which shoes he likes and these are the ones that he wants to put on all the time. Also, I love Zappos. My orders always ship super fast and customer service is fantastic.

These are the greatest toddler shoes! This is my 4 year olds third pair of these. He wears orthotics in his shoes, so the X wide width is awesome. The velcro makes it easy for him to help take his shoes on and off. We love these shoes, and how quickly Zappos is able to deliver them.

This is the 3rd pair of these exact shows we have bought my 3 year old! He has very wide feet and these sneakers seem to fit him the very best. Plus, so cute! My husband has the adult variety and my little guy has the matchy kids pair.

Zappos is the best! This was my first time ordering from them and I was totally pleased. The shoes took less than seven days to arrive! I love my baby's shoes and I plan to order another pair once he outgrows these. New Balance is sturdy and comfy for my 13 month old who is mastering walking. Although he likes to undo the velcro fastening at times, my son's shoes stay on his feet and are a perfect fit (extra wide!). The shoe is susceptible to stains because of its light color; however, they match nearly everything and are easy to clean. These shoes are great!

These are so cute! And my son just loved them instantly. He calls them his comfy shoes. They plenty of grip and tread for safer playground play.

With two little boys who love to run, play in the dirt, and have wide feet, there is no better shoe for the price. They are super comfy, clean up beautifully with a little soap and water, and they come in wide sizes. To top it all off, the velcro closure means the boys can put them on and take them off on their own, which they love. I keep ordering this same shoe in the next size up as my boys grow because we haven\'t found a better option. For all those parents of active, wide-feet children, THIS is a great shoe for you little ones!
