Excellent for a wide foot and even better than they are so easy to put on. Very hard to find wide shoes for my son but these are great.

These are fantastic for active youngsters who don't want to slow down long enough to tie their shoes. Easy on and off that kids can handle independently. Really great option for our 5 year old.

My sons school asked to have shoes he can take off & put on himself these Velcro shoes were great. He also has orthopedic inserts that fit perfectly when I removed the insole padding. He’s 6 & loves these! We bought 12.5 size & it fit as expected

I’ve always been very happy with NB shoes for my kid. The wide fit works well and they wear excellent! He loves the look of these shoes and I love that they’re easy to clean.

Tried three shoes--2 New Balance & 1 Saucony. This shoe was the best fit and favorite of the 3. Needed a size 12.5 W--which turned out to be a difficult size to locate. These were a perfect fit for a happy 4 year old.

Kindergartener loves how they look, how much faster he feels wearing them, and how independent is because he can fasten them himself. I agree. These look really cool, unlike traditional velcro shoes. Perfect for kids who have to frequently change from snow boots to shoes and back again during the school day.

Very cute shoe but not wearing well. My grandson has been wearing these for 2 1/2 weeks and they are already showing signs of wear. The blue on the sides is quickly wearing off and structure not holding up.

My daughter has relatively high arch and we are struggling to find a sneaker for her. The closure system is perfect for her to put on and fit snugly. We love this shoe!!!!

These shoes are wonderful for a wonderful little girl I bought them for. I bought them because she loves to run all the time. She tells me that they fit perfectly on her feet and much lighter than all the other shoes she wears. She obviously runs much faster in them. She also told me that she wanted some "Teal" colored shoes (which is the in color now here) and I saw these. The colors Guava and Tidepool reminded me of Hawaii! Since they are quick slip ons and Velcro up snug, they wrap her feet perfectly.

Light weight. Easy to put on/off. Bright color. My son is happy, wears these every day without complaint - which is not the case with new shoes.

Great colors, light weight, the Velcro style is way cooler than the typical Velcro shoe so my shin felt cool wearing them instead of embarrassed (hates tying laces but everyone else his age wears them). Wide shoes are so hard to come by that are stylish and cool. My kiddo loves these. Only odd thing is that we ordered a 3 W and the tag says that’s what it is but they are Huge! Compare to another New Balance Shoe in 4W and they are same size.

This is a great secure shoe for a kid. My son is a BIG 4 and wears a 13.5 wide. They fit true to New Balance sizes. He is not too rough on shoes, but he is 4... They do need an adult to tighten them up as the straps have to be pulled over the top to secure. These have held up in the toe area, but easily scuffed up on the foam portion wear the blue is overtop the white. Overall I think it is a good fit, and a good shoe for everyday wear.

They just do not make them the same as they did when they were manufactured in USA.

The part of the shoe that cups the heel and ankle is very cheap and thin. Our son always squishes it down when putting his shoes on. Previous versions of this shoe didn't have this problem. New Balance went cheap on this iteration. It's also not as high as other iterations and gives an almost high heel feel that our son hates.

Really odd foot shape. The bottom of heel is much longer than the ankle. Even going a half size smaller, they still slipped, even though we are to wear other New Balance sneakers in the half size up perfectly.
