Customer Reviews Nike Kids Downshifter 6 (Little Kid/Big Kid)

Finally, sneakers that stood up to the use/abuse of a very active 9/10 year old. These are great everyday shoes.

This shoe we had before and lasted an active boy for 11 months. So we wanted the same shoe again. The shoes came on the delivery date promised and so far are what we wanted.

As usual, prompt delivery, excellent correspondence, and a very good products at a very reasonable price! I use this site as my first (and usually last) stop.

This was my first purchase from Zappos and I will definitely be back! I was extremely pleased with all aspects of this purchase - the price was great, they arrived much faster than I expected (they came within two days of ordering), and they are great quality. My 12 year old son loved them and are now his favorite pair of shoes! Thank you Zappos for being awesome, and you've earned my business!

We just bought these shoes but we love them. My son is very active and we were buying shoes left and right. These seem very durable and comfortable. Hoping that they will last 3-4 months.

These are so cute! I was tired of looking at the Nike Frees (which can look a little run down quickly when used as an everyday shoe) so I decided to give these a try. Looks even better in person. My only issue is they are a little challenging to get on. Maybe because of the leather on the sides. You have to stretch them wide like a high top sneaker to get them on. I'll definitely buy another pair.

I love these shoes. My 10 year old son bought these shoes for gym at school. He made better progress each time in gym and his friends were really impressed. I would recommend these shoes to anyone.

I don't typically buy Nike sneakers because they always seem to be to narrow for my families feet, but my 9 year old really liked them so I caved. I have to say they are really sharp looking and fit nicely. We measured him as a 4 and I thought about going up to a 4.5 to combat with the width, but decided against it. The 4 fits perfectly and looks very sharp. As always, Zappos is the greatest place on Earth!

Handsome pair of shoes! My 6 year old wears them to summer camp, and they are holding up nicely. Nike is a brand that I always buy because of the style, support and comfort, durability. Perfect any season, any reason athletic shoe!

These took a little getting used to for my 7 year old (who loved the style and wanted the shoe). They felt a little narrower in the width than his other Nike sneakers. He does love them now, and they are wearing well after a few weeks of use.

This is a comfortable shoe as my son chooses this over his other pairs. He has really narrow feet and it's hard to find shoes for him. It should do for now until we find the perfect shoe.

My 6 year old loves these shoes. True to size. Comfortable. So far have been able to withstand his activity level.

My son is happy with them. He finds them comfortable, and I find them a bit more sturdy and durable than some of his past Nikes that have more of a flexible mesh design. He blows through shoes, so they aren't impenetrable. If I can get a couple of months out of them I'll be happy.

My son loves the look, great for the price but not the highest quality Nike we've owned.

Bought these for my 7 year old son. He really like them. I think they are more well made than the Nike Flex. They are holding up and are comfortable to my son.

My 6 year old son just outgrew his Nike velcro shoes, so this was the closest thing with laces. He loves them. (He's liked all of his Nike shoes, he just wears through them in about a month.) He's had these for a little over a month & so far so good. I don't see any tearing at the seams just yet.

My son thinks the shoes look great, but is waiting to wear them until school starts

Overall, a good shoe. It looks cool for the kiddo, but has good support too. My only concern is the yellow part that wraps up on the toe has started to peel up a little.

We bought these shoes in January and they lasted three months. For my kids, who are pretty rough on shoes, that is about the typical length of wear for any shoe. We were very happy with these shoes overall and my son loved how they looked and felt. After this pair wore out, he wanted to buy the same style shoe again in the next size up.

The extra money (I usually try to spend a little less on kid shoes) is worth it. The additional support is what you're paying for. My kids are active, but I thought the construction would've been better for the price. Just after 2 weeks of wear, the stitching on the left toe (he's right footed) has already come up. Other than that, it's a good shoe.

As other shave stated, these shoes are pretty narrow. We had to turn them back. We went for the Nike Kids Flex Experience instead.

I like the look of these. I bought them for when I work at the hospital (yes I have small feet to fit kids) but they hurt my feet. My heel starts to hurt. You can feel the v shape of the sole right thru the in sole. I'll be shopping for more comfortable shoe not in this style.

Very poor quality. Bought these for my 7 y.o. son and the front separated from the "canvas" part of the shoe after less than two weeks of use. Zappos exchanged it, and it happened again! Truly disappointed that Nike would sell a shoe of such poor quality. They're comfortable, but who cares if they don't even last a month.

These pair didn't even last 2 months.
