Customer Reviews New Balance Kids GC574v1 (Little Kid/Big Kid)

Looks sharp on our 8 year old and fits him well. He is a super active kid, so I'm not sure about the wear and tear yet, as we've only had him wearing for about 1 week. Seems to be holding up so far!

Love these. Red is my favorite color. I can’t wait to styles these with a cute outfit!!

My son loves his new shoes. He has very wide feet, so I know when they are comfortable when he decides to wear them all the time. They look stylish, are comfortable and of course, came in his favorite color. I've ordered New Balances before (similar style) and the front sole always peels away after a couple months, so I'll be curious to see how these hold up in the next few months. Usually I order Saucony sneakers for him that fit his wide feet, but I do alternate between this style and Saucony for him.

Love the classic look of this shoe! My son says it's comfortable.

Overall, really nice! Love the the style and the colors! Comfortable and practical. Been receiving a lot of compliments! They feel a slight bit tight on the top, but that's probably more to do with the shape of the arch of my foot and the shoes might just need to be loosened and adjusted a bit.

My son did not like the style of the blue areas, otherwise these were perfect!

The on line purchase was great, the non arch support has nothing to do with Zappos so I will order from the site again.

This is a great looking shoe, my son loves the comfort and style of it. Can't attest to how well it will hold up but usually we haven't had any issues with NB. I would say that this shoe seems to be a bit more on the narrow side (my son does not have particularly wide feed). I've returned it and ordered 1/2 size up to give him a bit more room and if in doubt, I'd go up a size. But it's a really nice shoe.

My son has another pair of suede New Balance shoes purchased a few months ago and this particular shoe was at least one full size larger and narrower than the marked size and width he currently wears.

Good looking shoe, but the sole separated after a month's normal wear. I had to glue them back together. I expected more from the New Balance brand, which I buy for my boys all the time on the perception of quality. Would've sent them back, but I don't have the time right now to contact customer service right now.

True to size and great look and comfort - main problem is they tend to tear up easily and get a hole within a few months of wear with my typically active boy. Not good value if I need to buy a second pair pretty consistently.

These are falling apart in less than two months... They are not even shoes that my son wears for sports! For the really rough and tumble activities, he has various cleats. These are his size, and while I appreciate that they come in a wide size, they just aren't holding up...

The only issue with this shoe was the front tip of the bottom sole was not structured too well, causing it come undone. Not sure if it was the actual material the bottom was made with or not, but I had to return them.

The size was great and it is a stylish shoe. I love Nee Balance for the most part, but two days after receiving this show, the front rubber part of the sole came unglued! I am very frustrated and thought that Nee Balances were a better tennis shoe for my son then Nike.

The fit and the size were good- the rubber sole came off the back of both sneakers after a couple wears. I glued them but they keep coming off. Very disappointing and inconvenient. We only buy new balance so this isn’t something that has happened in the past. Unfortunately the quality of these is not great for the price.

Slip open in the front of shoe almost immediately.

First pair of shoes with the whole side of the shoe ripped. Very disappointed.

I love the look of these shoes and my son says they are comfortable. However, they do not hold up to an 8yr old boy. They have a huge tear in them after only 2months. Def too much money for 2 months of use.

After regular wear, these were destroyed just over a month after wearing them. Disappointed in the quality.
