Compared to other Youth brands, we found these New Balance cleats to run much longer than standard Y6 and Y5.5. In fact, I had ordered the Y6 on rush shipping only to return and order smaller size (Y5.5 which my son is now outgrowing) which were also a full thumb width too long. I paid for rush shipping twice only to return both pairs since their sizing is not standard. I wish NB carried cleats in local stores so kids could try them on. They seem like great cleats but I'm not going to order a 3rd / 4th pair guessing when we need them now.

Seems like a decent shoe. We bought it bc my son has trouble finding shoes that fit his wide, flat feet. Unfortunately, the sizing is really off and it runs prob at least 1 size larger than standard so we had to return. Materials were average.

I ordered these for my grandson who has a wide foot. New Balance makes this cleat in wide. The fit was good, and nice leather compared to many plastic like cleats for youth.

Finally the shoe that my daughter can wear comfortably because of wide fit available . She has wide feet and plays a lot of soccer , this is the only show that fit great! She says it’s comfortable , it’s true to size and looks very nice. We got the blue color .

My son loves this cleat. Stiff at first, as all cleats are. He looks forward to breaking them in on the field. We also tried Puma & Adidas. The NB were a better fit.

It was extremely hard to find kids soccer cleats in a wide size! Thank you New Balance for once again being the only footwear option for my bilateral clubfoot kid! PLEASE make more kids XW sizes!

These are the best cleats we’ve tried. Most are way too narrow. These are just right, like a normal shoe. Cleats are never very comfortable, it we haven’t had any complaints yet with these. She normally wears a 4, we got a 3.5 and it fit perfectly.

Too narrow. Not a very wide foot, and these didn’t make it through warm ups.

Toebox is too low/tight, so despite upping size, it still felt very low and tight in to box area.

These cleats look nice but they are at least one full size too long - have to return them.

We ordered a youth 4 wide for my son in 4th grade. These cleats are not wide at all. Had to return.
