Don't buy, Velcro last 2 weeks
Don't buy, Velcro last 2 weeks. My 5 year old won't wear this anymore (unterstandable) as they don't strap anymore. I should have listed to the previous reviews.

We’re sorry to hear the Velcro straps stopped working so quickly and that your child can no longer wear the shoes. We understand how frustrating that is when durability falls short, especially for everyday use. Please reach out to Customer Care so we can review this issue and help with possible next steps.

Not satisfactory
The rubber in front of the shoes was ripping off so we had to return our purchase
New Balance US response
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how disappointing it is when the rubber begins ripping so soon and leads to a return. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience.

Good but could be better
These shoes were a great fit for my son because the wide option is hard to find, and that’s why he chose them. Unfortunately, the velcro straps were the weak point. After about a month, they stopped gripping well, whether it’s the hooks, the loops, or both, the quality just doesn’t hold up to normal kid use.
Because of this, we’ll probably avoid velcro-strap models going forward. Most stores only carry strap versions for kids, but buying lace-up shoes online is easy and often cheaper anyway.
To salvage the pair, I ended up cutting off the straps, adding top holes, and switching to laces. That actually worked great and let us keep using the shoes instead of throwing them out.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re sorry to hear the velcro straps did not hold up to regular wear despite the good initial fit. We understand how frustrating durability issues can be, especially when wide options for kids are limited. Our Customer Care team would appreciate this detailed feedback and can help review possible support or next steps with you.
