Customer Reviews New Balance Kids FuelCore Reveal BOA® (Big Kid)

Wide width perfect for my grandson!

A great surprise in comfort and running ability. My child loves them!

My kid loves these. They fit comfortably and provide all day support for a typical day of active play and school. He especially likes the BOA adjuster which lets him adjust tension for comfort/support demands more precisely than he could with laces.

These are the only sneakers my three boys, aged 4-9, will wear. An extra plus is that they hold up very well!

These are our second pair for my wide feet sons. We have the most difficult time finding shoes that are wide and fun for them. These are perfect.

These are the only sneakers my son wants to wear and we don't mind at all. He get complimented on them everywhere we go and they are so easy to get on and off and to tighten up. He runs in them and plays in them. Supportive and look awesome!

We’re addicted to FuelCore shoes — 4 pairs so far between our 2 kids and I’m sure these aren’t the last! The colors are fun and the dial closure is a huge hit!

Amazing style, the laces are awesome

My son reports that they are very comfortable and look “high tech”, plus they are easy to get on and off.

liked the closure, hope these last like previous New Balance kids shoes ?

My son loves these. So far so good but the string that tightens the shoes is very thin so I’m skeptical they are going to last long. I guess time will tell!

Perfect fit. True to size. Thank you Zappos for your quick service.

The issue with this shoe is the strap that goes across the top of your foot. My son said it was so stiff that it hurt when he bent his foot. He has had other NB shoes with this type of "tying" method and didn't have a problem.

My son loves this style of New Balance. They are easy to tighten and super cool. I do wish they were made better, he has had these for two months and the sole is already worn out and he only wears them to school. They also have minimal support, he complains about his feet hurting when walking long distances (they are sized correctly). They also hold stains that do not come out. They were stained the first day he wore them to the school playgrounds which has rubber mulch so I definitely wouldn’t purchase any color other than black again.

We ordered a 4 because my son is currently in a 3.5 in his other new balance. They were too small in a 4. We ordered a 4..5 and they fit him. The sizing is way off on this NB shoe style. I would order up a half size minimally. If you are ordering up a half size for them to grow, then go up a full size, it will save the hassle of returning them.

created multiple sore places after wearing an hour.

Purchased for my son. I tried on and support is pretty good and they felt comfortable. He loves the feel. However, they really haven't been the best quality for the price. The second day he wore them a piece of mulch from the playground went all the way through the bottom and poked his foot. Them a few weeks later the round piece that holds the "lace" came apart on one.

Ordered wide size and was VERY narrow. Had to return.

Part of the sole on both shoes came unglued on the 3rd month of wearing. My son never had this happen before on any of his sneakers!?

My son loves these shoes (we had a previous pair in another color) so decided to order these when he needed a new pair. Unfortunately, he’s only worn them minimally for 4 weeks and they’re already falling apart. Very disappointed in their quality this time.
