Great looking shoes and son reported that they were very comfortable. Unfortunately fell apart in less than a month. Side loops, where laces attach to shoe, disintegrated very rapidly. Laces also broke quickly.

These shoes are total junk. They have already fallen apart and the laces are shredded. Not pleased at all.

Great for boys who like to slip their sneakers on and off without untying them as the back/heel is flexible. Laces come untied frequently, even when double knotted-that would be my only complaint.

My son says these are too small, and I really struggled getting his foot in, so I would say they run small and/or narrow. And I am annoyed because these were under the “slip on” section, but they have ties. I see (after ordering...) that you can apparently tie it and still slip on and off, but I feel like that will be annoying for school, as my son can’t fully tie his shoes yet. Overall, I do not think these should be in the slip-on section because I know a lot of parents of younger kids specifically choose slip on so there are no laces for school.

Great looking shoe however the material around the toe is not ideal for kid use. It began to fray after one day of wear. We ending up buying a pair of NB’s that we had before with more toe protection.

A waste of money! This shoe is poorly made and tore up within the first 2 months of my 6yo wearing them. The strings shredded; the shoes are not very sturdy and perhaps it is only this style, as I have never had an issue with New Balance.

Got these for my 7 year old. He wears them all the time and he’s a crocs person. Very glad that he wears them and he’s a very active outdoor person so I sprayed them with waterproof/stain resistant spray to keep them clean.

ROAV is the best shoe for adults and kids.

I have the hardest time finding shoes for my daughter because she has such a wide foot. These fit her great and she loves wearing them. Plus they match my foam roavs which I love. Thanks New Balance!

My 8 year old absolutely LOVED these shoes. We got the purple color and the style is so cute. These were her first shoes with tie-laces and she has loved being able to tie them herself! The fit is perfect!

My son loves these shoes!! He says they are super comfortable. He has wide feet so this compliment is hard to come by.

I ordered these shoes for my son. He is very pleased with them and finds them more comfortable than his nikes.

Great shoe for my 5 year old with wide feet. Ordered wide and they are easy for him to slip on and off without tying. They fit securely when on.

My son loves these shoes. So far so good with quality but they really haven't been put to the test yet.

These are adorable and fit my 5 year old son perfectly. He will be six in July and I ordered the 13.5. I'm usually not a huge fan of the NB style and purchase Nike or Adidas but these were stylish and my son mentioned many times how comfortable the are. They were also very easy to get on and off unlike some brands that I have to force on his feet (his feet are a little wide, but pretty average).

They look great and help with my child's foot pain, but after 1 week of wearing them, one of the top lace hoops broke. I don't know how I can fix it because of the material.

Super cute shoes... BUT.... the soles were really hard, not flexible, and seemed to cause my child's ankles to collapse inward. I've never seen this happen in another shoe. Going back.

Though these were wide, they weren't wide enough for my sons foot to squeeze into, comparing with others they didn't look like they were built as wide visually either - but they are super cute "adult" looking shoes!

These shoes are cute, comfortable and the slip on easily. However, the ribbon-like material that holds the loops that the laces go through, started pulling away from the shoe after about 6 wears.

These shoes have absolutely no traction. My son wore them once indoors to school and slipped and fell. He also complained that the laces would not stay tied. They are so cute so it’s disappointing. We love New Balance but not these!!!

Great shoes and the kids loved them - however for $40 bucks the eyelet holding the lace broke- one on each shoe so they are basically not useable.
Really disappointed
