Customer Reviews New Balance Kids 545v1 (Little Kid)

These didnt last that long. The fronts started peeling pretty quickly, but these are the only ones that fit my sons wide feet.

Too long and not actually wide.

Overall good quality, but not good for kids with chubby feet

Size is fine. But the Velcro is weak and I don’t think they will withstand the wear of a 5 year old boy for very long

My 7 year old loved these sneakers until he pulled the tounge right out of them after less than 2 months of wearing them.

Love the look of these sneakers but the Velcro wouldn’t stay closed for my son so we sent them back.

I would not recommend. Velcro stopped working after two months. The shoe itself is intact but useless without the closure. I'm wondering if Zappos is the right store to purchase shoes....seems like the shoes we receive are hit or miss in terms of quality and durability.

My four year old liked these “rainbow shoes” and we have had good luck with New Balance in the past, but these fell apart way too fast. After less than three months, the Velcro strap started coming apart, then the blue parts of the toes started coming off. Would not recommend.

The shoes started falling apart at the end of the first day of wear. The tread has not held up well either. My son thought they were comfortable anyway. NB runs small so we knew to size up and order wide.

Too narrow for foot

he did not like the comfort

Do not buy. My kid has worn this for 2 months and the black part of the soles are flapping off. Piece of junk.

Don’t waste you money. Everything about them looks and feels cheap, including the stick on logo that was already starting to peel when I received them. Returning! Can’t say about sizing or comfort I never even put them on his feet.

The stitching at the toe came out within a few weeks of wear.

The velcro closure is horribly inadequate. It will not stay closed and constantly pops open with every few steps.

Didn’t last.

Tried more than one size, but they were so uncomfortable. My kiddo loves how they looked and really wanted them to feel good but no luck with these shoes.

Ordered these a month ago for my son who is in kindergarten. After one month of wear, they have holes in both toes. I know kids can be tough on shoes but we only had them for a month! The rest of the shoe barely looks worn. Such a bummer because they are cute and my son loved having red sneakers.

Poor quality shoes that ripped after just two weeks of wear.

My son loves the color and said they felt comfortable. The very first day he wore them the blue rubber that comes up the front of the toe came loose. Major disappointment and my son was very upset. I expected New Balance shoes at this price to last for more than half a day before coming apart. Unfortunately we can’t return them after they have been worn out to play.
