Good-looking shoes. I bought a 6 Wide. They were true to size. Just bought them, so I cannot address how durable they are, but the are easy to get off and on, and as I said, they look very nice. I love Zappos service!

Comfy and a great choice for kids who require wides. I loved all of the colors that are available in both this size as well as the laceup version. They don't hold up as well as I'd like for the price, selection is minimal when your child requires a wide or extra wide.

These shoes rock. These are the most comfortable shoes I can find for my son. He has wide feet and it has been a struggle to find him stylish shoes that feel good on his feet. I bought our first pair of New Balance classics for him a year ago and now it is all he will wear. I am so grateful for the classic style because they look cool and relaxed while offering all the comfort and support my little guy needs. Loved not having to run all over town looking for the perfect color combo in Wide in my son's size is amazing. Been there, done that and never could find what we needed. I find the Classic New Balance style for kids hard to find in stores. I ordered these and they were at our door the next day. They are exactly as pictured. Thank you Zappos for making my life easier!

My son is having a hard time tying his shoes (and he is 10 years old) so I had to find non lace up cool shoes that are comfortable and appropriate for his active lifestyle. These shoes were such a hit with him he made me buy the other color. He said the girls think they are super cool too. Now we have to practice tying laces on something else.

This shoe style is very true to size but would be a good idea to order half size up for longer wear and toe room. Overall it's a sharp looking pair of shoes, light weight, and no hassle velcro straps.

My son has worn these shoes literally every single day since September (it's May). They still look great! Soles are in perfect condition, tops look really nice. From straight out of the box they wore well, with no blisters and continue to wear really well. I will be purchasing another pair in September for my son.

I have been buying shoes on Zappos for years for myself and now I buy all of my 3 year old grandsons. I love the fast service and the variety. Every brand I want you have. The reps are the nicest people to talk to! I can't say enough about how much I love Zappos!

I got these shoes for my grandson's Christmas gift, I do not know anything about how they fit, I just bought per her description. I did find the website easy to use. The shipping was super fast, right to the door in two days, fantastic.

This is the fourth pair of New Balance shoes that I bought for my son. These shoes are comfortable, well made and very cool. I tried to buy other shoes as well to make the style more diverse but I always sent them back and stick with New Balance shoes!

My five year old loves these shoes. We had them last year too and just decided to get more in a new color. They held up very well and he wore them for probably 8 months, which is great to a preschool boy! They do run narrow, so we sized up to wide even though he typically wears regular width.

Great fit for wide feet! These are normal width and are still pretty wide. Very light weight and durable for those little runners!

I ordered these shoes for my 54 year old uncle who has Down's syndrome. He has tiny but wide feet and needs really light shoes. These are perfect. We got him two pairs and he loves them.

Easy on and off. My toddler is thrilled he can put them on and off by himself. Also, he is pretty sure they help him jump higher. Well made and wide enough something we struggle with.

I bought these for my 6 year old. They look great and seem to hold up better than other shoes.

These shoes do the trick for sneakers. They say they are navy but they look pretty black.

These are so cool! My husband wears New Balance a lot and so I thought my son could match him and these make it possible. I love the Velcro straps because I have a very active kid and it is handy for him! He says they are comfortable, too. I did have to size up half a size to get to the right size for him.

The shoe is a great fit and true to size; however, within the first few hours of normal wear, the stitching in the front toe box came completely unraveled and a gaping hole has formed. I will return and am hoping it is just a defect in the particular shoe and not the entire line.

These are good shoes but the sizing definitely seemed small compared to the Nikes my boys have been wearing for years. Had to send back for larger sizes and width but once I did that they fit well and the kids were happy.

These shoes look great, but they are too narrow and tight for my child. He is seven years old and has average size feet, definitely not wide. He has worn New Balance shoes for a few years now, but he did not like the feel of these. I have reorded them in half a size up and wide width. He has always worn his regular size in the medium width in New Balance. Fingers crossed that the new size fits.

They're alright but fall apart easily. The stitching has come undone within 3 months, on two pairs that we own for each child. Not a great show but not a terrible one, just poorly sewn.

This shoe is absolutely adorable and well-constructed with quality materials! However, I have to return them because it was difficult to get them on my toddler's wide feet! I purchased a 7.5 Wide and they were hard to put on due to an elastic that is attached on either side of the tongue inside. I don't know why this elastic is there since the velcro is enough to keep the shoe on. I wish they worked out, but sadly they have to go back.

Ordered the wide, but they aren't particularly wide and are rather stiff. Going back...

Adorable shoes - but they run very small. My son has average width feet and is a size 12...a 12.5 was much too small! Boo, returning them.

I am disappointed with how they have held up. The upper part of the shoe has come apart from the sole, leaving a huge hole in under three months of wear.
