Usually I wear these when I need to be fast on the playground. My mom said she likes that the shoes are dark color and easy to slip on. I would like if they stuck together when I'm not wearing them.

My 9 year old son LOVES these! He has growing pains in his ankles for the past year and finally found shoes with lots of cushion and support!! He loves the colors too! He also is very picky with the width of his shoes. If they are too snug he won’t wear them. These are perfect!

Te he, my son is pretty certain he runs faster!
They are great. New Balance does a great job building a shoe for growing boys with wide feet.
Thank you!

Fit and size was as-advertised. The Fresh Foam sole is VERY springy. My 8yo loves the shoes and they even motivated him to learn to tie his shoe laces!

Good. Son did complain that it was a little high in the back of the shoe, but otherwise nice shoe and fits a wide foot.

Ready to walk a mile right out of the box - impressive! They are true to size and look nice. I've been slipping them on to walk my dog every day for the past week and no damage to sides or back so far. The tread is good and I hope it will last because of the unique design! No real arch support, as is the usual for kids' shoes, but I typically wear skate shoes so didn't bother me. Could probably throw an insert in if needed. I like that the laces are a reasonable length too.

Really great looking shoe for our son. He said it was comfortable, but though we ordered the size wide (which normally fits him) he said they we encroaching on the sides of his feet more than usual. Hopefully New Balance will return to proper wide sizes for kids. Otherwise, nice shoe.
I'd also recommend:
Saucony, though durability is sub par

We got one pair and a week later a hole formed in the upper right side. We exchanged those for another pair, and the same thing is happening! I don't know why, but it must be a flaw in the material or something?

My son loved these. However, they fell apart less than one month into receiving them. The New Balance logo on the side peeled off of one shoe, and the front of the sole on the same shoe came off as well. Totally unusable. We are attempting to contact NB to correct the issue. Will update review if we have success.

I sent the shoes back. They were not wide enough and hurt my feet.

Produce did not last. Only wore for less than 3 months, and developed holes.

I'm not sure what is wrong with this particular shoe, but we returned the first pair we got, because a hole formed immediately on the right upper left. The 2nd pair we got had the exact same issue! And the glue is failing on all of the plastic. Very disappointed!

I bought these for my pick 11yr son. He normally doesn't like shoes as they never feel comfortable. We bought the wide and these are the first shoes that he says "feels good". They have held up well so far.

My kid loved these! We did a charity walk where he at 9 walked 25 miles in 2 days! Marked difference from the year before with different shoes. I have since bought more pairs just in case they change. Light weight great support and cushion.
