Customer Reviews New Balance Kids FuelCore Reveal (Big Kid)

Great sneaker for my 8-year-old who has wide feet. There are not a lot of choices for wide sneakers that you don’t have to lace up so when I saw these nifty sneakers offered in his size and wide width, I took a chance. The cable system for loosening and tightening is brilliant. He loves them. I would in a perfect world want him to wear tie shoes, but for the fast pace of schooldays, no way. This shoe so far is just the thing. Wonder if they will come out with a similar sneaker for adults?

Love these sneakers for my grandson! He takes a wide width and is disabled, these work perfect for him and they are cool too (his words).

My son LOVES this sneaker but unfortunately after wearing it for a month one of the shoe broke apart. (Keep in mind he is doing 100% virtual school & is home 99.99% of the week).

My 7 year old loves these shoes. He wears an extra wide, and while we’ve tried a couple of other brands before, nothing fits him quite like New Balance. The cable ties are fantastic and he’s able to get his shoes on much faster than his 11 year old brother.

I have been buying New Balance shoes in wide for my boys for years. My sons loved these, but they were shockingly wide on both of them, like I could put my enter adult woman's thumb by their heels, and they slipped as they walked. I ordered them in size medium thinking it was just an extra wide cut due to the closure. I had size 11.5M and 11.5W at home at the same time - the 11.5W was way too wide as noted; the 11.5M was not only too narrow, it was approximately 1/2 size shorter than the 11.W. So the sizing on these was really messed up. I gave up and ordered different New Balance styles.

I got these for my twin sons who have special needs. They can't tie their shoes, but the dial makes it so easy for them. They love them, especially since they can do it all by themselves! I'm a little nervous about how long they'll last because the string that tightens when you turn the dial seems pretty thin/flimsy (it's not thick like shoelaces). They're pretty destructive boys, but so far so good (we've had them 2 weeks).

My son has a wide foot and the fuelcore style by New Balance are a great fit. These are the third pair we have ordered for him in the past 1 1/2 years. We order a new pair as soon as he outgrows the old. The BOA. Closure system is great too for a kid who does want to take the time to tie lace up shoes.

Not only does the mechanism on the side work well to tighten the sneaker, because there are no laces it’s easy to slip the sneaker on and off. Totally impressed. We will buy another FuelCore when the time arrives.

So impressed by the re-design on old fashioned laces. It’s time for a new approach and New Balanced nailed it.

Found these while looking for a wide, no tie shoe. My kids both love these shoes! They've never loved shoes before. The coolness factor of the dial system is unparalleled. They find them very comfortable and would rather not take them off. Ever. My youngest wears a little kids standard width and my oldest wears a big kid wide. Fit is great on both. I hope they hold up well!

We have these shoes in two different colors and my son loves them. Perfect for regular or wide width feet and those kids who don’t know how to tie (or like the ease of not tying!). Great design!

I’m going by my grandson’s opinion. He’s 9 years old and a man of few words. He said they were comfortable. The way you tighten them is cool.

Son who is reluctant to tie shoes loves the twists!

Wide width perfect for my grandson!

This is the perfect shoe for the kiddo who doesn’t like to tie their shoes or aren’t quite ready to tie their shoes! They look so cool and we get compliments on them quite a bit. They are stylish and comfortable for all day at school, park and beyond!

My Son really likes these he has the biggest size possible for his age and these are probably his fourth pair of the same sneakers in a different color

Dog thought they were delicious. Tasty expensive treat.

Son loves the comfort of these shoes. They fit his wide feet nicely! We're on our second pair!

Great fit; easy for kids to put on and take off!

My kids both LOVE these shoes! comfortable and easy to get on and off. They both hate tying their shoes, this is the perfect alternative. I will definitely be buying more as they grow.

They are great

My son loves these, not having to tie shoes and still have a cool function to keep them on his feet is going over well—they seem to be holding up well in construction and fit true to size

Perfect for my 10 yr old. This is our 2nd pair.

My son loves these shoes! He thinks it's fun to "tie" them with the little dial. I'm happy that he doesn't have shoe laces dragging around behind him all the time. He loves the look, too!
