My Son's Favorite Shoe!
Love this shoe for my 4 year old son. Cute, stylish, and most importantly easy to put on.

Great Toddler Shoes
This is my third pair for my toddler. They are so easy to slip on and off and they are perfect for his growing feet. I purchased them after researching what shoes would be best for his overall foot development. I also love that they are neutral so future kids of mine can enjoy them too!

Great style, horrible material
Great show style, terrible on quality though. We haven’t even had these a month and the outside of the show is pilling horribly. My son has always worn NB shoes, these are the first style that’s done this.

No bueno
My son does not like the shoes complains of pain while walking. They seem extra stiff for kids shoes do not recommend. Shame because for adults they are great shoes

Sturdy shoes. A bit wide
Great sturdy little shoes for my kindergartener. I took one star away because my son has skinny feet and these shoes are a bit wide for his narrow feet. We can only get the shoes so tight with the Velcro.

DO NOT ORDER ONLINE.
You're delivery driver don't even attempt to delivery your items. They don't leave a note. They just drop them off in a local town. With no notification or information where it actually is. This has happen every time I've ordered from you. It's a miracle I've even got the product and that's only due to ringing around and hunting things down.. Unacceptable. Trainers are perfect. Delivery IS NOT. Do not buy online from New Balance.

Great fit
Wide width for the win. Grandson with an extra wide foot and these fit great and the Velcro actually stayed fastened.

Great - buying another pair in a different colour!
Look great and super comfy. My son is quite fussy with trainers and will only have Velcro and no laces. These look great - grown up enough but still with Velcro. He said they’re really comfy and was happy to wear them straight away (again he’s a bit fussy normally with new shoes). Thinking of buying another pair in a different colour.
