Customer Reviews New Balance Kids 545v1 (Big Kid)

Fit and size are great!

It fits well, my son likes it. They are very comfortable and looks good. Hopefully they will last longer.

Perfect fit

So far - so awesome! My son has higher arches and a wide foot - this shoe is perfection. I don't think the elastic lace with velcro is in our future any further - as those shoe types are constricting his foot too much. So these are traditional laces and so far, so awesome! He loves them and says they're very comfortable (as a very tall 8YO boy).

My son said that the tongue would not stay in place so the laces kept coming undone.

Stylish versatile sneaker. Came quickly and fit well

Purchased these for my ten year old. Within a month he had already worn holes in the pair and the toe stitching was coming apart. He appreciates how comfortable they are and the style is nice, however these shoes are poorly constructed with sub-par materials. Really disappointed in New Balance as I am a frequent customer and these just didn't live up to their typical quality.

I bought these in February and just noticed today (June) that they’re filled with holes in the mesh area! He doesn’t even wear these everyday. Very disappointed! Dont buy them.

My son tore a hole in the front mesh within two weeks. The mesh being used on shoes these days does not hold up to regular wear and tear.

Kiddo wears these and only these. He hasn’t found another shoe he likes to wear. Cool by me. This is the 3rd or 4th pair we’ve bought as of course he grows out of them. One pair looked worn out but when I checked he needed a bigger size by then anyway. Recommend for the practical kid.

These were a bit longer than the previous New Balance shoes I bought in the same size. Not enough to say they were too big, but they are quite roomy. And very comfortable, didn't need any kind of a breaking in period.

I typically require a shoe with a wide toe box and the W size fits nicely without any pinching or discomfort. Thankfully, the arch support is mild since my feet have a low arch. I like that this pair of NB athletic shoes are light, comfy, and has plenty of cooling vents. They'll primarily be used in the gym, so I expect them to last a while.

normally takes a size 5.5, but we ordered the 6.5 and it fit perfectly, with room to spare.

My kiddo was so happy with these shoe. I can tell they are comfortable because he jumped around in amazement, saying they felt good.

Perfect size. Just as described. Very lightweight. Awsome

My boy loves it. Fit just right!

My son loves these.

My son loves the feel and comfort these shoes bring. They are very light weight and soft. I would suggest using a shoe insert to maximize the comfort of the shoe. Overall a great purchase.

So great! Granted my son only wears them for his indoor baseball practices and occasional not muddy/rainy recesses. Awesome comfort, style, and fit.

My 9 year old loves them!

Perfect for my daughter’s gym class

Great pair of shoes. Good arch support. Wider shoe great toe bed.

Good fit and style. Comfortable.

My son inherited his dad's wide feet. These shoes accomodate his width nicely. We've only tried them on. I'll edit post later once he's worn them to school more.

Nice, wide boys sneaker with super cushiony sole. Not the most stylish but kept it simple with black. Hoping the fabric holds up as other pairs of similar New Balance sneakers have torn. Happy with purchase after a couple of weeks.
