Customer Reviews Nike Kids Downshifter 8 (Little Kid)

My kids love these Downshifters. Nike is all the rage at the playground.

My son said these shoes are comfortable and fit well but not even a month in and the top of the toe is separating. They do not seem to be well made and are not lasting very long.

These shoes are bright neon Orange. They are not the muted Orange shown in the photos which I prefer. As far as fit they are great and we have ordered this style in the past, but I can't get past the amount of neon on the shoe and the color. They are going back.

He wore these shoes occasionally and in less than 6 months the top separated from the bottom. They are great otherwise but I would have hoped that they would have lasted longer.

The stitching on the front of the shoe and the strap is not well made. It started to come out after only a few wears.

I want to love these shoes, because they are super cute and easy to put on. But the fact is they start ripping apart right above the toe 1-2 weeks after you start wearing them. I wanted them to be my 6yo’s everyday shoes, but they ended up being his fashion sneakers to wear about town with jeans. They’re cute, but I would not recommend.

Terrible quality after couple months it got a big hole not worth it the money that I spent on it. I would not recommend it to anybody, save your money and get another one with a better quality.

Fell apart after 6 wears to school: The toe tip was not glued on well and have large gaps that collect mud. The laces lost elasticity and are too long for the shoe. The velcro doesn't adhere well. Finally, fraying all over the shoe. Do not recommend.

In terms of looks, they look great and my son loved the bright blue. They are very lightweight, which was a plus. However, there is no arch support, if that is something you look for. And in terms of durability, they didn't last us more than 2.5 months. Both shoes had holes in them only after 2.5 months, which I was scratching my head over, since he only wore them to school. And he had other 2 pairs of shoes he would wear, too, so he wasn't exclusively wearing these. He did not wear them for sports either, since he has specific shoes for his sports. We just got a pair of Saucony to try and they are working well so far, and we are staying away from the flimsy mesh sneakers that are so popular currently. These are okay for walking around in, for errands and such, but I would not recommend these for their lack of durability.

This a poor quality shoe, it felt apart just within 7 days of wearing. My son did not even get to play soccer wearing these shoes because all sewed edges felt apart before he got a chance to go to his practice! Terrible shoes! Do not waste your money on these.

Bought these for my son in December and unfortunately he sole came completely apart from the rest of the shoe within 8 weeks. Customer support was awesome and provided me a credit so I could find a different shoes. These are just Poor quality; these were the second pair of similar Nike shoes; both tore up within 2 months.

stitching did not hold up. only had for 3 months and we alternate between two sneakers. booooooo!

These shoes fell apart after three months. It was very disappointing as we have never had. A problem with Nike shoes before.
