This is the second pair of shoes in this style that my son has busted through in a matter of months. Really disappointed, I thought the first was a fluke but this seems to be a quality issue. I love new balance but we’ll be switching brands.

The fit, size, and look were fine; the mesh part of the sneakers tore in 3 weeks. In less than a month, there were huge, gaping holes on both sides of the upper. It's too bad; we've had good luck with other New Balance shoes.

The shoes fit my son really well and we were really pleased but after only 3 months of wearing them (he wears them 3-4 days a week) the stitching at the toe ripped out. Really disappointing.

Sizing / design were strange. My son complained that the heel felt loose and his foot would slide out no matter how tightly it was tied.

My child wore these shoes 5 days before the side stiching blew out. Very dissapointed. This is the second pair of NB shoes in a row that fell apart the first week. I will not be buying NB again.

I purchased the regular width initially. When they arrived, they ran very small. My daughter has to wear inserts inside her shoes and these were WAY too tight with them in. She loved the color however so I returned them and purchased the wide width instead. When those arrived, they were no different than the regular width. The wide width was no different than the regular width. Will be returning once again.

Bought these for my son for school. They fit great (and since he's in an x-wide, they are one of the few shoes I can find that do fit!) but both toes got holes in less than 2 months.

Never had this issue with NB shoes, I buy those for kids because they always just outgrow them. This one is falling apart after 2 weeks and ~10 wears.

For the price, I was not expecting the shoes to breakdown so easily. It us fall and not being used for biking or soccer or anything like that. Going to school and back. Really not inoresssed.

I cannot find the shoes fitting my size so I order this shoes. However, it is vey paintful when I walk too much, run and jump. The not-even-sole may be a problem.

Received these size "6" wide shoes for my son and was shocked when he said they were tight as he is currently in size 4 of a diff brand. When I lined up the soles I was shocked to see that they looked about the same footprint. Not impressed. Waste of money. Won't buy again

After 4 months of wear the front mesh toe box came completely undone from the leather potion (not sure it’s leather)! I’ve never had a shoe do this and y daughters version started to do it to. Will not buy this version again.

We have had these for less than 3 months. My son doesn't even wear them every day and they are falling apart just like all the other reviewers have described and posted pictures of. So disappointed in the New Balance brand.

My son has been wearing New Balance shoes exclusively since he was a toddler. He's now 10. The last shoe we had was a Fresh Foam and was worn till he outgrew them. This pair of 680v6 fell apart within 3 weeks of having them. The mesh is completely ripped up. Yes, he plays soccer, he plays on a hard top playground, but he did so for years on other New Balance shoes. I would say, do not buy this for your child, a waste of money. And New Balance, if you read this...please contact me on how to get some kind of refund and please stop selling these! you can clearly see in the photos' I posted that there is almost no use on these shoes. Colors are still fresh, but they are completely falling apart.

So disappointed in these shoes. The seams started falling apart after having them for only a few months. Usually my kids new balance shoes last until they outgrow them. These are literally falling apart. A complete waste of money.

Too narrow for my daughter. She had the same pair a year prior so I was extremely disappointed that they didn't fit even though I got a bigger size

My son wears XW & has always worn New Balance with great fit. After less than 2 months of light wear, the fabric on the inside has ripped at the seam, on both shoes. You can see in the pics how new they look otherwis. Do Not Buy!

I have two boys who both require extra-wide shoes. I've been using New Balance since my 10 year old was a toddler. The fit and quality have always been incredible. We would buy one pair of shoes and he'd wear them until he needed a new size. I recommended them to everyone. The past few times I have ordered, the shoes haven't lasted as long. And now this pair wore holes in the sides (as many other reviewers showed) in just a few months of only weekend wear. After six months the entire top of the shoe is coming unraveled. It's unbelievable that they are still being sold on the market. Now I'm on the hunt to find a new company to use because I certainly won't be spending $50-80+ on a pair of shoes that won't last three months.
