Running or casual
So, I got these for my son for track. I know they’re not the “recommended” track running shoes, but he likes them. These are the most comfortable shoes he can find. He does have a wide foot so that’s a is with New Balance. He also has a pair of cleats from NB that he loves. Overall? I do recommend these for running or everyday wear, which my son does often.

Failed Velcro
The Velcro on the top strap has already failed. The shoes are less than 30 days old. Will be returning.

Good fit, need more durability.
We have had great luck with New Balance sneakers for our kids. Our son is big for his age and has a wider foot. New Balance makes a great fitting sneaker for him. I am a bit disappointed because velcro strap failed one sneaker, and the sole started to peel off the toe box after three weeks of use. NB kids are hard on sneakers. We have had better luck with the NB Boa prducts.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your continued trust in our kids’ footwear. We’re sorry to hear about the velcro strap failing and the sole peeling after only a few weeks, especially since durability is so important for active kids. Please reach out to our Customer Care team so we can learn more and help make this right.

Rave Run V2 Bungee Lace with top strap fit
sneakers are comfortable, however, the top strap does not close tightly and always opens up. The sneaker is on the loose size.

Velcro Fails Quickly
Was really disappointed that the velcro failed to keep sticking about a month and a half, which makes the shoes completely unwearable. I would not purchase this shoe again and do not recommend it.

This model isn't good; the Velcro is terrible—it doesn't stick and is useless for children.
