my 5-year old son loves this pair of shoes!.. he is a very active kid plays tennis and does conditioning / swim dry land workout with these shoes.. very easy to put on and take off, ideal for kids his age.. he has very flat feet, the 13W was perfect!

This is our go to shoe for our kid who has a high instep. These shoes comfortably close without any strain on the shoe closure. NB can't be beat for the quality detailing and sturdiness. These are versatile, weather resistant and made from breathable materials. Arrived promptly and customer service is exemplary. We are very happy with our purchase.

My kids have wide feet and very picky about how a shoe fits. They love these, so I bought many colors. They clean well when they get dirty. Just a little dawn soap and water cleans them right up and air dry.

My son absolutely loves these shoes! He’s never been excited about shoes, but he only wants fresh foam arishis from now on. They are flexible and “bouncy”. He claims it makes him walk and run faster. We’ll made shoe that’s comfortable for the pickiest of kids. Will keep buying these in the future.

After a month of minimal use (just got out of a cast so is not running as much as normal) the velcro has come apart and does not stick anymore. My son does not want to wear them because of the lack of closure.

Loved these shoes and so did my son, but less than a month into wearing them and the toe is peeling from one of the shoes. Not typical new balance quality we’ve come to expect.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks, saucony

My daughter loves these sneakers. We were surprised to see they were very dark navy blue instead of black as the picture suggests, but maybe we should have looked more closely at the published color.

My son has a super wide foot. Under Armour XW are the only shoe that fits him. Thank goodness he loves the style. They fit great and he says 'makes me run faster.'

My 8 year old son is loving them! I did have to order a size larger 2 instead of a 1. I wish they were a bit longer but they fit well they are more narrow than his hiking boots. He says they make him fast!

My 6-yr old loves these. He picked them out and when they arrived, he couldn’t be happier. He says they “go fast.” Let’s hope they last. So few kids shoes do these days. The only brand I’ve had success with is Puma (suede version).

Bought these for my 9 year old daughter. She's very picky about clothes and shoes. These seemed wide enough for her feet and she had no complaints about comfort whatsoever.

These fit great for my son with wide feet (which is hard to find in kids shoes brands). They also look great and have held up well so far to normal day-to-day activity and kids sports. We are on our 5th or 6th pair of Arishis now and would continue to highly recommend.

Way better than other shoes that have a velcro top (e.g. competitive shoe that stars with an 'a' and rhymes with basic has a top strap that only has velcro at the end)!

My kids absolutely love these sneakers! They said they run faster and they love how comfortable the shoes feel. Being lightweight, it quickly became their favorite pair of shoes by far.

These are great shoes! I was looking for a wider shoe in which the sole could be easily removed to fit a shoe lift. These are perfect and are easy to get on/off too!
