Customer Reviews New Balance Kids 680v6 Bungee (Little Kid/Big Kid)

After maybe 10 wears my son's shoes started falling apart, just like most of these reviews mention. They have holes in the mesh part and continue to fall apart. POORLY made and New Balance should issue full refunds for all of these sold. This is ridiculous! I contacted New Balance about this issue and they gave me a $30 coupon for a new pair of New Balance. Definitely won't be going with this style again and may not go with New Balance period! Highly disappointed in the quality of these.

After buying these shoes for my son for the past 4 years, I am very disappointed with his newest pair. He has worn them for 3 months (not full-time), and the mesh on the front is tearing badly on both shoes. They usually last the whole school year, until they are outgrown, and they are not cheap!

I've purchases many generations of this shoe for my daughter who can't fit into many other shoes. What a disappointment to find these such poor quality! I ordered them in x-wide, but they were narrower than the wides. We returned the x-wides and settled on the wide, out of desperation, but they are way too stiff. The bottom of the shoe is not flexible and is uncomfortable.

I have bought my kids New Balance for years and these tore apart after a few months. Not worth the money.

Like others have mentioned, these shoes have holes in the sides within two months. It's frustrating because my son really likes them and we've gone through several pairs this year hoping it was just an issue with a particular pair.

Shoe is tearing all over - unlike any NB shoe ever in less than 3 months

My daughter wears AFO braces on her legs and feet. It is extremely hard to find a shoe that is wide enough to fit her braces. A number of people recommended New Balance to me because they offer a wide shoe for kids. I purchased them and was sorely disappointed when I got them and couldn't even get the toe of the brace in. Very disappointed. The extra wide in NOT extra wide.

I always trust NB to my boy and he loves it! Normally he wears them few months. This time we had a big disappointment: in less than a month, the front of the shoe was ripped.

Poor quality and construction. Shoes ripped open on top and sides in less than a month!!

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
