My 7 year old son loved these when they arrived, Especially the bright orange, they looked very cool. Unfortunately they fell apart after 2 months, I would not recommend or purchase again.

so disappointed! fell apart in just a few months, and my kiddo isn’t THAT hard on shoes. i’ll be sending back, as shoes should last longer than that for the price.

These were great but they fell apart in less than two months. They are children’s shoes so they should be made durable enough to last longer than that. My 6 year is touch on shoes, but usually sneakers last him 4-6 months. This was disappointing.

Great shoe! Fits true to size. It is cool-looking for a teenage boy. Good holding Velcro. Wearing really well through mud and muck of summer!!

My 6 year old sons loves these sneakers. He previously had shoes w laces and he got too lazy to tie them and went back to the Velcro. He has only had these for a week, so I can speak to how well they hold up. So far so good!

My 5-year old son loved these from the first try, which is normally not the case with many other shoes. Keeping these.

My 5-year old likes these sneakers. This is one pair that he didn’t have to think long about when asked whether they are comfortable.

Good no fuss, light weight, comfortable shoes. Wish more brands would offer wide widths and Velcro for that matter. Although true to NB’s standard style, this pair looked sleeker with the soles having more gripping treads for running. My son loves the pop of neon green. Need more fun colors NB! These last pretty long with no rips, so this is the brand that I will always get for my son. Would luv it if they came out with a waterproof version.

These fit my wide-footed little boy. And he can put them on himself! The first weekend he had them, we went on several hikes through the Smokies. They’ve lasted through the rocks, mud, and the washer (I removed the insoles and air-dried).

Great shoes! I love the double Velcro straps which seem to have a strong hold. The sole has excellent traction for running, jumping and climbing like most kids will do. We’re very happy with this purchase.

Our son is picky when it comes to his shoes. He has a true wide foot and we returned several others before finding this pair. He can put them on himself-bonus!

The shoes look and feel great for my kids. Second Velcro strip keeps them in there tightly for kids that are always moving. They both like the look and feel. The toe strip seems sturdy enough (that’s where all their shoes fail). The tread on the bottom is a legit trail shoe, so it works great for the Pacific Northwest.

I ordered these shoes for my 4-year old son. He loves that he can easily put them on and take them off independently. The straps seems sturdy and are holding up well especially with his rough and tumble lifestyle. The quality is great and the colors are fantastic. I would definitely order them again.

Size 7 wide fit my 8-year-old perfectly. First a pair of shoes was purchased for everyday use and they fit him so well because of the wide width that I immediately ordered another pair of shoes to go to school as gym shoes.

The fit seemed a little longer than expected, but I don't have an accurate measurement of my son's size other than that he outgrew the size smaller (same sneakers). We love the color with the pop of orange on the blue. My son has wide feet and he's hard to fit, so I keep buying these same sneakers for him every year.

My son has super wide feet and we have a difficult time finding comfortable shoes and sneakers. He loves these sneakers. Just got him the next size up for the end of the school year and he said they fit perfect.
