Bring back last year's model!! Can't agree more with the other mom who mentioned these are NOT WIDE anymore due to the restrictive plastic material they are made of now. The fabric from last year was way better. Now we have nothing in a true wide. NEW BALANCE PLEASE GO BACK TO LAST YEAR'S shoe material!!! These are constricting like a python and due not give.

I wish I had read some of the reviews first. We love New Balance because my son has a wide foot and they are one of the few brands that always have wide and I believe the only brand in baseball cleats that carries a wide. This new style is awful. My son was yelling that it hurt his foot before his foot was all the way in. We bought the 40404v4 last year and they were great but this new model the 40404v5 is a no go on width. It looked a little narrow when I pulled it out of the box but I thought maybe it was just a first glance thing. I had to find a New Balance outlet store that still had last years style. Save yourself the hassle, don’t get the v5 if you have a kid with wide feet. Thank you Zappos for making returns hassle free.

My son has wide feet so it is hard to find cleats that fit. These were not hard for him to get on and were wide enough for comfort.

The top part of the shoe is a glossy plastic covering instead of leather which appears to limit its flexibility. They look nice, but my son says they are not as comfortable as his other cleats

We've purchased these cleats for a few seasons because my daughter, a 12U softball catcher, finds them more comfortable than other brands. We received her most recent pair in mid-February 2020 and she only wore them to practices and games for a month before the season was shut down due to the coronavirus. In that short amount of time, some of studs on the sole snapped off. Usually, the cleats last at least a season before the soles wear down so we're disappointed at this pair's lack of durability. Looking online, it seems to be a common problem so we'll probably try a different brand from now on.

My 13 y/o son is a 7 with a very wide foot, usually NB wides work for him but would strongly recommend sizing up with these, felt a full size to small for him

My daughter wears a size 4 sneaker (in Nike). We purchased these in a 4 1/2 Wide and they fit perfectly. Enough room to be comfortable and run and play without being too constricting in the toes. A size 4 W was too short and tight.

The size and fit were as expected since my son needed a wide shoe these worked out great. Most baseball shoes are very narrow and the NB wides made all the difference for my son and kept him comfortable during games and practices. We got the red ones and the color was great and after a full season in them they've held up very well, better than our last pair of NB baseball cleats. The laces were nice and long so that tying is easy even mid-game but not too long to get in the way. Either way, there is a lace pocket on each shoe to put them out of the way but we didn't use them nor do you have to. Because they are a type of plastic along the uppers the color holds up very well and doesn't allow your feet to get as dirty as cloth shoes do. We will definitely buy another pair of these shoes from Zappos again when he outgrows his current pair.

We have no complaints. My son plays baseball and we have been having a tough time finding cleats that he can wear because he has a wide foot. There cleats are great. Good quality.

These fit my 7yo boy very nicely. He has wide feet and a high instep. Very glad we could find these in a wide and at a good price! He says they are comfortable.

These shoes are great for baseball for my son. Their function serves its purpose perfectly and they are great for the price. I also loved that they came in half sizes so that I could go up in size a little bit due to the thick baseball socks.

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?

My son has wide feet. We always seem to struggle with baseball cleats, even wide width. Not so with these. We just returned a pair from another brand and bought these instead. I did buy a 1/2 size bigger than he typically wears. The actual size might have been fine, but these were a great choice. He is easily able to get them on, with help or too much stretching. He also loves the color and I love that I can easily find him on the field :).

My son has very wide feet. I bought these becasue they said they were wide. Pulling them out of the box they don’t look wide at all. My son will wear them and that’s all that matters. I can’t imagine what a non-wide would look like. Haven’t worn on the field yet.

Let me tell you, cleat shopping for a wide-width child is not for the faint of heart. Thank you so much for stocking these as they are the perfect fit for a child who likes to spread out her piggies! Size is spot on.
