Customer Reviews New Balance Kids 455v2 (Little Kid/Big Kid)

Fit is great, however after only 1 week of wear there is already one hole in each shoe.

My 10 year old son loves these shoes! FYI - They were stiff at first and took a walk or two to break in, and we replaced the laces with softer athletic laces. I ordered a size larger for my son. He's usually a 3, but wore a 4 in these.

Great fitting shoe that looks great! My son is 6 years old and very opinionated on how he likes the fit of his shoes, and he said these are so comfortable. Will definitely be buying them again when he out grows his current pair.

We absolutely love these for my son! Perfect for kiddos with wide feet and provide great arch support!

Size up and go with W for width they run narrow. Wash well too!

This shoe ran on the narrow side and my son doesn't even have wide feet. He liked the design but we had to return them.

I bought these shoes because they were on sale, and my son goes through shoes quickly. I want to say they lasted about two weeks before the mesh started to wear away and by four weeks of use, there was a straight up hole in the shoe (see photo). I’ve never had this happen to him with any shoes and I have tried them all. I would not recommend these shoes to anybody.

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

I bought these for my son and they fit his foot really well. It is hard to find shoes for him because his foot is wide. These worked. They got here quick. I will order all his shoes from Zappos.con.

My son is 10 and LOVES these shoes. We scrolled Zappos together and he stopped when he saw these. :) We had to send the first pair back. I ordered the next size up from his previous sneakers, and they were too small, so we went a full size up. But now he loves them and wears them all the time - to school and long walks.

We had the velcro version of these same shoes, and they held up amazingly well. When we outgrew them, we decided to get the same version in lace-up since we loved our first ones so much. Great quality!

Comfy and stylish sneaker. Looks even better in person. I’ll be buying again in another color to add to the collection.

My 4 year old picked these out so it’s really hard to know in detail how they fit him and how they feel. But he has custom orthotics that fit perfectly in these shoes and he says they’re comfy. We’re a fan of new balance and haven’t been let down by any of them we’ve gotten from Zappos.

Great shoes for wide feet! NB is our go to for our active, wide-footed guy.

My son loves the cushiony feel of these sneakers. They are a bright red and super cool looking. They definitely run a bit small. I would suggest sizing up a half size.

these shoes fell apart in a week, holes started forming around the joint of his big toe and pinky. would not recommend.

My 11-year-old loves these!

Great for kids with wide feet and extremely comfortable. Looks great, too!

Comfortable and good for kids with wide feet.

My son loved these. He said he liked that they didn’t feel heavy and were comfortable. He said they felt like wearing nothing! Lol

Great shoe, love for my wider foot kid

Big hit with my 13 year old!

My son wanted shoes with more grip on the bottom, as opposed to the foam soles so popular now. These fit the bill. They did come off the first night he wore them, but I feel that was wearer error.

My son's shoes, rough an tumble farm boy, almost 11 year old, perfect shoe for him

My son loves these sneakers!
