Velcro wore out in a month
These shoes were great when new, but the Velcro strap wore out and won’t close with a month of use for our 5 year old. Wouldn’t recommend these for longevity, and we won’t be buying these again.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear the hook-and-loop strap wore out after just a month of use and no longer stays securely fastened. We understand how disappointing that is, especially for a child's everyday shoes, and we encourage you to contact Customer Care so our team can learn more and assist you further.

Supportive shoes
My son with Down Syndrome needed some shoes to replace his old ones and I was having the hardest time finding something that was supportive enough but also wide. Others we tried, he was just not walking well. These NB shoes have been the best. He’s walking very well and they look well made.

Great Fit for wide foot!
Great fit for wide fit! I would like to see the velcro strap be a little wider. Would also like to see more colors. Will buy again!

Perfect for wide feet
My 8yr old loves them. Says they felt really light, and comfortable. He has wide feet and has sensory issues, so it’s not easy to find shoes that are comfortable for him. New Balance is our new favorite shoe brand!

Great For Kids With Wide feet
The only shoes i keep buying for school for my child with chunky feet !! I just wish they have kept the old model where it was more leather material instead of mesh, those lasted a little bit longer and were easier to wipe! Cause she is all terrain lid so i have to keep washing them

NOT wide
I ordered the wide, they were extremely narrow on my son’s feet. He has Down Syndrome and we always buy NB because of them having the wide option - and these were not at all. A bit disappointing, seeing as he would’ve been able to independently put these on.

Birthday Gift
I ordered these shoes in black as a gift for my friend's 5-year-old, who is a huge New Balance fan. The moment he tried them on, he was absolutely thrilled, no hesitation at all. Most kids his age would be over the moon about a toy, but this little guy was genuinely over the moon about his new sneakers. That says it all!

Shoes were too small
Shoes were too small and narrow for my son. This is the third pair of new balances he has and unfortunately they did not run true to size.

Poor Velcro quality
Velcro worked for 1 week. Unfortunately we had to buy a new shoe after 2 weeks due to the Velcro not sticking and my sons feet slipping out all the time

We’re sorry to hear the Velcro did not hold up as expected and stopped working so quickly. We understand how frustrating it is when the fit is affected and the shoes become unusable after such a short time. Please reach out to our Customer Care team so we can assist with a return or any next steps.
