Customer Reviews New Balance Kids Fresh Foam Roav (Big Kid)

The shoe looked great and fit well but the mesh on the front is not durable. Started fraying within the first week, probably will have a hole in another few weeks.

I bought these for my 12 yo son and they were a huge hit. His friends asked where I got them and if there were other colors, too! My son said he loved them and was really excited. As we all know this is not the norm for a 12 year old boy and shoes. ??

These are great. HOWEVER, they are not pull in elastic shoes like I thought. They are lace up. So if you are looking for shoes you don’t need to lace up… not these. Sadly I have to return them.

Love this shoe! I'm so glad I found this. I have really wide toes but narrow ankles so I need shoes that have a wide toe box. I ordered 'Wide' and these are the most comfortable running shoes for me yet. I had previously been through Aesics and others but the construction of the pointy toe box always forces my toe inward creating bunions. After inserting insoles with added arch support, they worked even better. The shoe is very breathable and I love that they can also be worn without socks comfortably. Zappos support was super helpful in the exchange to half size down as they ended up being much too large at my 'normal' size.

My 11 year old loves them. He said "they are comfortable and lightweight" he wears them daily.

I bought these for my 13 year old and they are perfect. He says they are so comfortable and he is very picky about how shoes look. They are low profile and he loves them!!

My son chose these shoes because he liked the look of them. They were true to the size and comfortable, but he did complain that his heel slid around a little bit. We returned them and decided on a different pair of shoes that fit his foot better.

These shoes look great and were easy to slip on. They ran bigger than my son's last pair of shoes and he complained that they rubbed the back side of his foot and instead of exchanging we went with a different shoe.

These shoes fell apart after 3 weeks of normal wear by my 11 year old. The piece of fabric in front of the tongue started ripping off. The top loop for the shoelaces has ripped off on both shoes. I got a refund. I do not recommend these.

The shoes fell apart in 4 weeks! They came unraveled. We love new balance and always order them but for this price they should Last longer than that

Both my sons wear a lot of New Balance shoes, but these are really poor quality. The style looks great, but they begin falling apart immediately. And the shoe strings WILL NOT stay tied no matter how many double knots you try. That leads to destroyed shoe strings, that you can see in attached pictures. The seam and loops of this shoe also started tearing in less than a month. New balance needs to go back to the drawing board with this one. I’ve returned them and am hoping for some type of refund from Zappos.

My 11 year old loved these and I think they look great too. Unfortunately, after 2.5 months, the fabric holding the laces ripped open across multiple spots so he now can't tighten or tie the shoes. Zappos was great about refunding immediately so we can buy another shoe. I would have given another pair of these a try in case the quality issue was an anomaly, but they no longer have the black, so on to another style.

After less than 2 months of wear, these are not holding up. I’m disappointed that at the price I’m going to have to replace them with another shoe already. My son does love them, they are very comfortable but I won’t buy this style again.

These shoes are the most comfortable shoes! Our whole family owns at least one pair of this style. These boy shoes look nice. I like the solid black and my son loves the orange and blue too.

Awesome and so comfy for my little guy with very wide feet- thanks New Balance
