My daughter has a really narrow foot so we were relieved that these shoes had true laces, not the elastic ones often sewn into place. She loves the feel and look of them and they fit perfectly. Not too much room to grow, but not too short. Her toes have room to wiggle.

My daughter has very narrow feet. I had her feet measured before ordering but when we received shoes they ran large.

I bought these for my daughter on sale. Hopefully they hold up better than her last pair. I was very disappointed in the quality of those.

The shoe is good overall but is too stiff for a child to put on by themself. The shoe's tongue is short and it is hard to make sure it stays straight when you put the shoe on every time.

The tongue of the shoe doesn't stay in place and curls when you put the shoe on. Shoe is also a little narrow.

We've ordered several pairs of these shoes for my son with VERY wide feet. They've been the only pair we could find that were actually wide enough. Unfortunately, the velcro always separates from the leather on the strap after a few months. This is SO frustrating. It feels as if we have no other option.

I got an email that the shoes were out of stock after I ordered them. I bought other shoes. Two weeks later I received the shoes.

Not recommended for very wide feet. Laces are not adjustable, so even XW seem snug. Otherwise, style and construction are excellent.

The shoe looks very nice. I bought it as a "giving tree" gift. Had no idea how difficult it would be to find a big girl size 4WW!!! New Balance was the only 4WW I could find anywhere. Hopefully it will fit, but I will honestly never know.

My kid wears size 2xxw, which doesn't exist. Too wide for regular stores, so we order through Zappos. Unfortunately I don't know what we will do now. We ordered 3.5xw. It is a little smaller in length than other 3.5. and it is a lot narrower than xw. It's regular width, at best. Don't order this shoe if your kid needs wide. Find something else. My kid loves the color and style, so she thew a fit and exchanging it. Her feet will hate her later, but I guess that's part of growing up

My kid has extra wide feet, so Zappos is the only option. Her feet are size 2 extra, extra wide. So I ordered 3.5 extra wide. Theses barely fit. She wouldn't let me return them because she loves the style (and threw a fit at the suggestion). And fashion is more important than comfort. I remember those days, my feet still hurt from bad decisions. As will hers. If you are ordering this, order at least two sizes bigger and don't expect it to be as wide as it says

I ordered these shoes for my little one in extra wide, they were very narrow for his little feet. I bought them since the 888V2 hook and loop had been out of stock and the new generation was not available yet. My son needed new shoes but these were too tight, he said they were too tight and they were hard to get on.

I had purchased these shoes for my son thinking that New Balance shoes are often wider than most only to be surprised they were not. Also the bungee design made the shoe too tight and uncomfortable. I returned then and got a different model.

Got these for my 8 year old daughter. They are the cute blue color and she loved them. Also got some socks that match which are a great quality. Unfortunately these shoes did not hold up. She's had them for 2 months and they have holes in the sides. She's not hard on shoes and this has never happened before with any shoes she's had. I am disappointed because I buy new balance for all 4 of my kids and don't usually have this kind of experience. At this point I am hoping they can last until the end of the school year.

After a month of wear (purchased Mar 20th), the mesh material on the side of each shoe started falling apart, tearing and creating holes, can see through and so dirt is getting into the shoe. My daughter was sad because she loves the shoe but now it concerned her socks/inside shoe will get dirty.

My son has been through 2 pairs of 680v6 Bungee this year, each pair lasting less than 4 months because the mesh around the toe box begins to tear within a few months. Besides that, my son loves these shoes. But for the price they should last at least a year - especially when my son looks like he's wearing 2 year old used shoes once the mesh begins to tear. Very disappointed, especially because of the price and that New Balance is a big name shoe maker and not a no-name discount brand.

We got these to replace the leather version of the same model, which was causing blisters on the toes. These were much more comfortable. However, they were not durable. In three weeks of summer camp, holes were blown out in the mesh on both sides of the instep of both shoes. New Balance needs to find a tougher material for that part of the shoe.

I saw a review that these shoes developed tears after a short time of wear, and so did mine! I am very petite and the shoes fit fully comfortably, and one day, I looked down and noticed the shoes had started tearing. What a bummer after only 2 months of having them.
