These shoes fit perfectly and my son loved them! For about two hours until they broke the first time he wore them. The design is seriously flawed. I didn't look closely enough and thought they were normal velcro closures, but instead they have a string that wraps around a wheel. I was concerned when I first saw them that the string would quickly snap; it never got a chance because the entire wheel popped off nearly immediately. Bummer, because there are so few shoes that are wide enough, and have a high-enough instep, to fit our guys. Returning the shoes.

My 12 year old blind, autistic grandson loves these. He counts the clicks so he knows his shoe is exactly where he wants it! Thank you New Balance. These are great for children with super powers!

My son, with Down Syndrome, LOVES this shoe. He cannot tie his shoes and these are perfect with the tab on the side.

Appears to be good quality and comfortable sole. However the stitching on the top of the insole portion of the foot digs into my son’s foot. He has wide feet and New Balance in wide width usually fit great, but not this style.

I like the "cool" mechanism for tying the shoes, but it was difficult to figure out how to get them "untied".

Perfect shoe for the kids. No laces to tie , BOA is super convenient to loosen and tighten based on child's comfort.

These BOA shoes are perfect for my son. He is an adult with Downs syndrome and, while he can tie his shoes, the knots don't always stay snug. These shoes eliminate that problem!! PLEASE keep these in production!

Daughter uses these for school, it's her current favorite. The precision fit dial is easy and "cool", they also come in nice colors.

My 9 year old and I love these! I made sure he knew how to tie laces before ever considering these but now that we've made the switch we are both super happy about it. No more panic or rushing to get the shoes on before the bus for school. They fit great. I only buy him NB's since he has wider feet.

My 7yr old son is autistic and has trouble with fine motor skills. These shoes are a perfect way to teach him some independence. Aside from that, it's so hard to find shoes that fit his flat, wide foot. In Wide, these fit him great. If I could add one thing to these shoes, it would be a padded memory foam insert.

Our child loves these shoes. They are comfortable and last long enough as she grows. Best of all, the easy to use tightening device. The older kids (and adults) want it on their shoes.

My son has sensory sensitivities and his feet are quite wide. We went through 3 pairs of other shoes before we found these. He loves them! They're light, soft, come in wide sizes and easy to put on. Love- love!!

My son loves the easy on and off and adjustable snugness. He knows how to tie shoes but hates long laces while running. New balance are always the most durable and comfortable of all my sons shoes.
