Customer Reviews New Balance Kids 545v1 (Big Kid)

Nice, wide with shoe. Super cushioned heel. We’ve bought several pairs of New Balance boys sneakers, hoping the fabric / stitching holds up better on these as other pairs have torn.

My son has slightly wide feet so we have to get under armor or New balance. Compared to Under Armor youth size 5 wide shoes, these are about 1 size too big. After about 1 month of wearing, I notice that it’s too big for him. He also mentions that these are not as comfortable as the ?A so we are getting a pair of UA. I suggest buying these 1/2 to 1 size smaller than the current shoe size.

I love everything about these shoes, but the arch support. My son has had New Balance shoes over the last few years and they all had decent arch support, but this model, unfortunately, has non. I will return the shoes and look for another brand.

My son wore these for about 2 months and then couldn't anymore because the velcro wouldn't stick. Waste of money and materials. The rest of the shoe is fine but he can't run so he won't wear them.

These shoes must not breathe because my son who has never had stinky feet has the nastiest smelling feet when he takes these off. It's unbearable. He has other sneakers and shoes he wears in addition to these and there is no odor with any of the others...
