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

Cute, fun shoe. Disappointed that they are bungee laces, though. We were specifically looking for traditional laces to help our cold learn to tie their shoes. It looks like there are two listings on Zappos for shoes that are nearly identical, save the lace type. I'm annoyed that it wasn't clearer and now I have to return these over the laces not being right.

The shoe is incorrectly listed as a lace up style. The shoe has an elastic lace with no ability to tighten. I think there needs to be further distinction on zappos website as to what constitutes "lace up" i.e. the ability to tie the shoe rather than having the appearance of laces. Overall the quality appears to be acceptable. Unfortunately I will have to return due to the inability to tie the shoe.

Darling shoes. If your child has wide feet, do not buy these. I bought the wide in these and they are not wide at all.

Bought for my daughter. She loves them and says they fit well, are very comfortable and easy to get on. When I bought them I didn’t know they were a slip on style. I thought they were a tie. But better they are slip on as my daughter is lazy about tying her shoes. She has gotten compliments from her teacher about the style. And now my older daughter wants a pair!

My daughter absolutely loves these shoes.. finding a wide width in a kids size is not an easy task but these fit and look amazing!

Great!

Shoelaces don’t last but my daughter loves them.

I am exchanging these for a half size larger, but they are so cute. My daughter loves that they look like tie shoes but they slip on easily.

Not as wide as other new balances Difficult to pull on

Narrow shoe and runs small.

My daughter absolutely loves these sneakers due to the colors, style and elastic laces. I went to buy her another pair after she grew out of the first pair, but sadly, Zappos is sold out. :( Nonetheless, these were fantastic shoes and I'd buy more just like it in a heartbeat.

I bought these shoes for my daughter and they are absolutely beautiful! They fit perfectly and are super comfortable for her. My youngest daughter saw them and said she wanted a pair of these as well. I will be ordering her a pair asap!

My daughter loves New Balance kids sneakers.

She loves them

Great show for my seven year old! Super easy for her to get on and off, and I like that the black won’t show the dirt. She, of course, loved the rainbow sole and it matches most of her outfits!

perfect school shoes!

It’s so difficult to find cute shoes for kids with wide feet but these were a total hit! my daughter absolutely loves them. She’s said several times that they are her favorite shoes because they’re “fashionable and comfortable”

so beautiful! my daughter loves them! a bit hard to fit at first but after 1-2 times it was a breeze. she is in love with her new shoes!

I bought these because I wanted something that would give me enough support for standing on my feet all day. When I got them I realized the soles really aren’t as thick as I thought. Super cute though!

We got these for my daughter and she is in love. She loves the color, loves the ease of slipping them on without needing to tie/velcro them, and wears them all day. No complaints from her regarding this shoe!

They fit my son like a glove. They were neither too small or big. I like new balance shoes because of the wide width. Look forward to getting.

These were perfect!

These fit great and love the no-tie lace-up elastic. This is our second pair of these. My daughter loves them and they are of great quality. Of course, they look cool too!

My daughter love these shoes. It is a little bit tighter across the bungee laces but she still loves them.
