Buyer beware. We read the reviews of how the stitching on these shoes blew out. We were hopeful that wouldn’t be the case with our pair. We were wrong, the shoes stitching is poorly made. Shoes blew out in 7 weeks with no unusual wear and tear

Fit and size were fine, however, like many other reviewers, the shoes started to rip in less than 6 months! Very poor quality.

We loved these shoes for her twin sister and in the past however this pair ripped very early on and I'm disappointed in the durability for this specific pair for the expense. New Balance has always been a "go to" brand for our children and have always lasted much longer than this.

Like the others have said (I did not see before buying) my five year old has the same tears at the start of the mesh. Pretty disappointed because they are only 3 months old.

If I could give it a zero, I would. They lasted a month, tops. Completely fell apart. I recommend the Rave running shoe. I re-bought that pair for my oldest and they have held up. I re-bought the same pair for my younger thinking it was a fluke in quality, but nope, they also fell apart within three weeks.

My son wore these shoes for a few weeks. WEEKS. They literally fell apart. He's hard on his sneakers but I expect better from New Balance.

And shame on myself for buying these with the reviews as they are. In my defense, they have another shoe with the exact same name 680v6 with great reviews. But if you look closeat the pictures it is different materials. I noticed it only a month after he had them and he said they had been like that. I might not have noticed then if he didn't get them wet so I went to set them outside. Why do you continue to sell a shoe that does not last longer than a month before getting completely torn up?? You see these reviews but yet you keep selling them. Some ppl at 2 weeks, which was probably my sons too since he said they had been that way. SHAME ON YOU KNOWINGLY SELLING A DEFECTIVE SHOE. YOU NEED TO REFUND PEOPLE. I just now have the extra money saved to get a new pair so he's been having to wear this to school

I was so pleased with the size and fit - my kiddo has wider feet and it's a challenge to find shoes that work. She was so pleased with how this felt and how they looked - and I've been a big fan of New Balance - which is why I was so disappointed when these began to fall apart so quickly! We're currently holding them together with duck tape while we look for new shoes. Buyer beware!

These fell apart in less than a month. Do not waste your money. These are the worst made NB shoes we have ever bought. Very disappointed in you NB.

Fit and size were great! I ordered on August 6 for the start of school. My daughter got approximately 2 months out of them before THIS happened. I would not recommend1

They were great shoes but after two months the sides just busted open and you can see her foot. Won’t buy new balance again. Her brother got the same style and did the same thing.

Don't buy these shoes! As other reviewers have stated the mesh by the toes will rip and there will be holes within months!

I bought these shoes for a 5 year old granddaughter. In less than 2.5 months, these sneakers have large holes where the leather meets the fabric on the top side of the shoes. Since ours is a Canadian/American relationship, I didn't notice this until I paid an extra $1000. to visit her. I wish I had seen these reviews before I bought these!! Would not rate these as one star if I didn't have to! Will not purchase from this company again!!

My 9 year old daughter loved her New Balance Kids 680v6. She said they were very comfortable and easy to put them on. Everything was great until suddenly both sides front cloth part started tearing only after wearing them for about 2 months. She didn't even wore them everyday but both sides started ripping apart! I would expect better quality from New Balance.... I think I am going to stop buying shoes from NB but find other brands that offer longer lasting kids shoes!

My child has been wearing 680v extra wide since little. We went through little kids to big kids size and never had any problem with it. we just ordered this 680 v6 extra wide in 4.5 and it is very narrow. It is narrower than the a 680v in size 2.5. My child struggles to put size 4.5 on but can easily fit into a size 2.5. I even checked the inside of the shoe to make sure what I got is actually an extra wide size. Please bring back the old size!

These fit my child well but lasted less than 12 weeks and were not worn daily/hard as it was summer and she wore them primarily for a once weekly rec soccer program. The sides of the mesh near her toes developed holes on both feet and on both the inside and outside of her fit. Poorly made, though the fit was great for my very wide width child. No durability at all!

Very cute shoe. My daughter is able to put them off and on easily and never complains of discomfort. They are soft. These are the reasons I purchased these twice. Unfortunately, they both have holes in them. All four shoes have holes in the fabric. I’m not happy at all with the durability. I won’t be purchasing this brand anymore.

As mentioned by other reviewers, mesh panels shredded into gaping holes in both shoes in less than three months of wear.
